This is not a good album. I find it painful to say that because of the singer's gorgeous vocal tones and the pro musicianship by all members. However, the lyrics are full of clichés and the melodies and song structure are cliché as well. Jennifer misses opportunities to sing in the pocket and opportunities to belt out, so the singing ends up lacking motivation.
Another problem is that it sounds like it's designed to break into the pop market and get played alongside Taylor Swift, but this is neither good metal nor good pop. It started to feel like I was walking through a large corporate grocery store. I don't know if this safe poppy sound can make them any money, but either way I wish they wouldn't sound like this if I give them a listen.
Unpopular opinion of the day, delivered by me.
