Much better than "Rainbow"

Review Score: (8/10)
This album is great. I was expecting something as horrible as Rainbow from Mariah, who I have been following for 12 years and whose early work really inspired me musically. But this album...just brings down the house. 'All My Life' and 'Didn't Mean To Turn You On' are the best tracks in my opinion, and if you'll notice, (and I'm not 100 percent sure this was intentional) the beat in the beginning of 'Didn't Mean to Turn You On' is the same as the one in Prince's '1999'. The low point of the album is the single 'Loverboy' although I DO love its original version. The ballads as well run a bit slow compared to the dancier tracks, but at least they're spaced quite evenly throughout the album. All in all I have to say that even though the movie flopped, the album deserves a chance to at least TRY to 'glitter'.
