Title: a little much, but still worth the money
Review: I have to admit, it took more than two listens to get into this album, but it was well worth effort. I could have done without a few tracks (On Our Way, Without You, Here to Stay, Thank You), but overall, there are plenty of potential radio hits and memorable tracks. I don't think Christina really reached her goal of a "concept album." Most of the songs are retro, but they harken back to the 70's or early 90's more so than to the 20's, 30's, and 40's. The only tracks that sound obviously like songs from the target era sound a little like what someone who doesn't know much about that kind of music thinks it should sound like, like "Candy Man" and "I Got Trouble." Either way, the song "Understand" alone is worth the price of the double-disc.Stand out tracks:UnderstandSlow Down BabyStill DirrtyNasty Naughty BoyHurtSave Me From MyselfAlso, make sure to get the physical copy of the CD because the booklet is the best I've ever seen.
