content: This is Ms. Cole's worst offering. I totally loved "This Fire" and most of "Harbringer". This album is laced with Mariah Carey sounding vocals (who's doing the high stuff? - NOT Ms. Cole), Alanis 90's disco grooves, and Dr. Dre sounding beats. Her lyrics I might give 2 stars to, but there very self-centered and pretentious most of the time. This was a drag becuase I have been a fan of Paula's since her days with Peter Gabriel - but this "Amen" album is terrible. I was totally dissapointed. Thanks for selling out, Paula.
