I and the rest of Carrie Underwood's fans waited for 2 1/2 years for this album, longer than her last 3 previous albums. As tough as it was to wait, it was worth the wait. You can tell extra work went into this album. Everything about the album is perfect. The "theme", the album booklet is amazing with photos and FINALLY lyrics. It's an overall outstanding CD and I was literally blown away. It was a change in style for Mrs. Underwood but it makes things more interesting and I was able to relate to songs more than I thought I could. This album mainly consists of mid tempos and ballads, which brings about a different tone, lyric maturity, and beauty. I like that Carrie didn't try to sing to the moon as she said with this album given the fact she's already proven herself time and time again, and this was just another way to prove herself. Now, I'll go through every song and rate them from a scale of 10.
1. Good Girl- The lead single of the album is an absolute perfect opening. Fun, sassy, and full of attitude, Carrie warns us to think before we assume everything is good. The song is a great crossover piece which really broadens her horizons and fan base. A country/pop/rock song that is destined for gold despite already being high among the charts and the stars. Great great way to start the album. (9)
2. Blown Away- One of my favorite songs on the album. The lyrical direction is really interesting and covers such a different side of Carrie's story telling. The song is a great piece of work. It really shows that Carrie was serious when saying this album would be darker. Truly one of the most enjoyable tracks on the album. Very easy to listen to and fun to create a little music video in your head. (9)
3. Two Black Cadillacs- Most easily one of my top 3 favorite songs from the album if not my favorite. This song is pure genius musically, lyrically, emotionally, just everything. It's so perfect. I can't even critique it. Easy review. It's gonna be a hit and I really hope it'll be a single. I smell awards. CMA Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year?... (10)
4. See You Again- Once again one of my top 3 favorite songs. Carrie's vocals on this are so sweet and comforting. The lyrics contain a beautiful message and the song really holds a lot of hope and necessary uplifting vibes which are needed after songs like "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs". The people singing in the back make the song so much more touching and somehow meaningful.I can definitely see this fitting this into The Chronicles of Narnia film but I am happier that it landed on the album. Really suits the image of the album. After every rain storm is a rainbow right? (9)
5. Do You Think About Me- This is the start of feel good songs. The lyrics and cute and catchy and Underwood's vocals and soothing and relaxed. No showing off here, just some good music. This song also starts to incorporate more of a country vibe which is good for Carrie's hardcore country fans. This isn't a stand out track but regardless it is a solid piece of work. (7)
6. Forever Changed- This song is one of my top 3 songs and possibly a tie with "Two Black Cadillacs" for my favorite song on the album. This is probably the most touching and emotional song on the album. The story line is well thought out. This song has that great relate-ability factor. The soft music with Underwood's soothing and beautiful perfect pitched voice really touches deep down. Really makes you stop and breathe and think. Even if this didn't happen to you, it could. Like I said it can be so related to. This song is very hard to critique because its just so beautiful. Although 2 out of my 3 songs are emotional ballads, this song really has a strong impact on the listener and is the best one by far. Underwood did a great job with slowing things down. (10)
7. Nobody Ever Told You- This is my favorite mid tempo song on the album. It has a great positive vibe, great catchy non complicated lyrics, and the beat is infectious. Such a casual fun song that will have anyone tapping their feet. This song also cooperates a great country vibe. (8)
8. One Way Ticket- Me and this song have already developed a love hate relationship lol. When I first heard this I thought it was the least thought about song, way too different than Carrie's style, and just simply corny. However, then I'll listen to it and all of a sudden find myself singing it. This song has such simplicity but such a great essence of fun, relaxation, and freedom. I can definitely feel this being a summer hit for Mrs. Underwood. The lyrics are especially relaxed, which makes me like the song even more. I really can't give a good or bad review for this song. Its just what it is. It works for Carrie so it works for me. Definitely the most random song on the album but like I said it somehow works (8)
9. Thank God For Hometowns- This is another slow/mid tempo ballad that for me sticks out the least. This is the song I was least impressed with. It's not bad, but its not great. It just feels very bland. The song breathes more of a down vibe when the lyrics are speaking about thankfulness and happiness that your hometown is always there for you. It may be because of all the other emotional ballads but I just don't feel the song. (6)
10. Good In Goodbye- This completes my top 4. This song is absolutely phenomenal. The lyrics and message is quite simple, but it gets the point across very quickly and strongly..."guess goodbye made us strong, sometimes life leads you down a different road, someday you'll see the reason why".... absolutely can be related to almost anyone. It sounds more like a sad ballad, but it actually turns out to be one of the most empowering songs on the album. The story telling aspect is incredibly told and it really helps you create the story in your head. Carrie's vocals are flawless on this. It works that she didn't sing over the top with this. It makes it so much more reassuring and comforting. This song really hits me deep and really brings out strong emotions. Truly a piece of art (10)
11. Leave Love Alone- This song is another solid one for Carrie. Not my favorite, not the best, not the worst, doesn't make me wanna skip it. It's just what it is. It's a good song. (7)
12. Cupid's Got A Shotgun- Ironically enough this is the closest thing to a love song on this album for Mrs. Underwood. The song is a purely enjoyable and full of sass. So needed for the album. This is the only other song that is really upbeat next to "Good Girl". So much fun. The lyrics are thought out very well. The song makes you wanna get up and dance and just have fun. One of the show stoppers on the album (8)
13. Wine After Whiskey- Easily the most classic country song on the album. Truly bittersweet. The song really showcases Underwood's powerful yet controlled voice. Once again not my favorite, but its sure pretty dang good. Very easy to listen to and she really feels connected to the song. (8)
14, Who Are You- I didn't start listening to and following Carrie until 2 1/2 years ago, but from what I've read and watched, she really got voters due to her strong vocals obviously but also her strong faith. Given the fact that that's true, with having her first single be "Jesus Take The Wheel", I feel this will be a big hit with her religious fans. I'm not religious but I have to say this is truly one of the best songs on the album. It's a strong and positive testament to her faith which is nice because she's staying true to herself. (8)
Overall, this album is very strong. It is truly Underwood's best work to date, beating out Carnival Ride for me. I have been listening to this album over and over again since I got it. Totally worth buying, I have no regrets. Great music to add to my collection. This album really shows Carrie's growth and maturity which is nice because it makes things more easy to relate to as I've mentioned numerous times. I am so pleased with this and can't wait to hear her sing these songs live at award shows and concerts. The queen of country is back stronger than ever! Best American Idol winner and alumni yet.
