Carrie said they had trouble finding ballads for this album and that it would be very upbeat... but I agree with you, based on the titles it does,
Based on the titles, my faves:
2 Blown Away
3 Two Black Cadillacs
6 Forever Changed
8 One Way Ticket
10 Good in Goodbye
12 Cupid's Got a Shotgun
Two black Cadillacs is almost 5 minutes 
Listen to part of Thank God for Hometowns (sung by Hillary Lindsey):

I don't think they all will be.. I can see Blown Away & Good in Goodbye being ballads but that's it.. I need Good in Goodbye to be the next Starts With Goodbye!

The album is already top 15 on iTunes with the preorders. 
I'm kinda surprised it's up for pre-order; I was under the impression that with past albums, Carrie did the "three-weeks-three-promo-songs" tactic instead of preorder.

Carrie was recently interviewed, here are the most interesting things:
Quote:
On how 'Blown Away' is a stretch from her previous music : "The rest of the album is more growing and different influences but in different directions. I grew up a lover of music, and if you look on my iPod I have the most random stuff. We go to photo shoots and they'll take my iPod and push shuffle, and I'm always worried about what's going to pop up because it's the most random mix of music ever ... I love singing different kinds of things, which is why I can do the Steven Tyler thing ('Crossroads') and the next week turn around and sing on the Grammys with Tony Bennett. Those are polar opposites, but I feel comfortable in both places. My album is a lot like that. It's a big old puzzle and everything has its own place. There's 'Good Girl' and there's some more traditional stuff than I've everdone before."
On choosing songs for 'Blown Away': "I go after what I like. There is no objective. If you put too many stipulations that you're looking for that kind of song or this kind of song, you won't end up with the best album. You're bypassing potentially amazing things. I want to hear a song that makes me feel something immediately. I'm not looking for this many love songs, that many uptempo songs, or 'he done me wrong' songs. It just happens. Sometimes we go into a writing session, and we'll write something that I wouldn't sing. It's just not me. But that's great, because it's the best thing we could do that day ... I didn't have to force anything."
On writing her own songs versus outside writers for 'Blown Away': "I have written more than half of the album. There are so many amazing writers here and so many amazing songs. I feel very blessed that I seem to have the ability to go in and write, have fun and come up with the best stuff. In the end, the best stuff wins. I want to make the best album possible, not the best album I could come up with this time. My songs are basically submitted like everybody else's. I'll be the first to listen to one of my songs and go, 'No that's not that good. I don't like it. Next!' I feel like I can be pretty hard on myself because we want the best songs and that's that."
On naming the album 'Blown Away': "'Blown Away' is actually the title track. The first time I heard the song, I knew I had to have it and it was like, 'That's the title!' Hopefully everyone will be blown away by the album. I think it's pretty special. Hopefully it's not just the title track but the feeling people will get when they listen to it."
On planning her upcoming tour: "We are putting everything together, getting ideas. Obviously you want the current tour to be bigger, better and brighter than the last one. I felt like the last one was pretty special, so I feel like we have our work cut out for us. But I'm very confident that we can achieve that. It will be a lot of fun. It's going be this fall, and we'll hopefully add more dates for the spring of next year."
On the possibility of choreography in her live shows: "My problem with the dancing on stage is I sing. Sometimes if I get excited and start bopping around, I can't sing. Everything I do is 1000 percent live. It's easier to move around on a video when you don't have to actually belt it out. It's also awkward because there are 50 people standing there watching you. You're not singing to anyone; you're not dancing for anyone. They're just watching. It's very awkward."

She seems to like using the word "best." 
I am intrigued by the "different influences" and new sounds.

I have a feeling Carrie may be opening the ACMs; she's definitely performing in the first hour, according to the commercial I just saw

That's good, I kind of hope she doesn't open it just because unless it's extravagent and unlike anything anyone has ever done at the ACMs.. it'll easily be forgettable. A first hour performance is good though!
