Rainbow

Dance-pop

Chicago, IL, USA

A slick, computer-generated piece of pop fakery that threatens to disappear if you look at it too closely.

1/4

Glitter

Chicago, IL, USA

The music is overshadowed by and not nearly as interesting as the public drama of Carey's attempted comeback.

Emancipation of Mimi

Chicago, IL, USA

She would have been well-advised at age 35 to stop acting like a coquettish party girl.

E=MC²

Chicago, IL, USA

It's done as well as this sort of thing can ever be, but we've nonetheless heard it all before.

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel

Chicago, IL, USA

The fussy, soulless, airless vibe that dominates the album doesn’t have much to do with true R&B greats from Aretha Franklin to Erykah Badu.

1.5/4
