Absolutely Glittering

Review Score:

(10/10)
Yet another masterpiece from the ever-talanted Mariah Carey. People diss this cd, but to fully appreciate it you HAVE to see the movie! It all falls into place then.

1. Loverboy (Remix)***1/2
I admit I prefer the original version but this one rocks to! Great rap at the beginning and it's much more frisky than the original.

2. Lead The Way****
Fantastic Mariah ballad. The Mariah we know and love shines through on this track which was co-written by her old writing partner and it's proven a good move with this moving love song.

3. If We***
Better than J-Lo's remix of I'm Real.... very original with an infectious chorus.

4. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On*****
FANTASTIC! What can I say about this song... Mariah's voice is as strong as ever, even with all the loud music. Love the 80s feel.

5. Don't Stop (Funkin' For Jamica)****
I love this song, but the fact that Mystikal is rapping practically all the way through it. Mariah should have had more input. Love the bit where she uses her trademark voice towards the end.

6. All My Life*****
Definetely should be the next single... I am actually suprised it wasn't the first cause this song absolutely ROCKS. While having an 80s fun feel to it, the lyrics are still fabulous and heartfelt.

7. Reflections (Care Enough)****1/2
A great song in the same vain as previous Mariah songs such as Petals and Close My Eyes. Was central to the storyline of the movie. Fantastic lyrics and music.

8. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life*****
This song just rocks. Was instantly my favorite track on the album. The chorus is just so catchy, you'll be singing it all day and night!

9. Want You**
Not the best song on the album, but passable. I don't have much to say about this song

10. Never Too Far*****
Yet another favorite. Her voice is so fantastic in this one, and you can just hear the emotion. This album is worth buying for this song alone!

11. Twister***
I wouldn't even call this a complete song... it's more like an interlude to me. Touching lyrics, but not catchy at all.

12. Loverboy****1/2
Didn't like this song at first, but it surley did grow on me. It's easily the most infectious song on the album... I'm still humming it after months!

Just give Mariah a chance... sure she's changed, but in many ways it's for the best!
