I’ve finally bought this album, and I think my favorite would have to be “Someday When I Stop Loving You.”

But there are a couple of real snoozers on it as well–Mama’s Song, for instance. Is it necessary to repeat that he is ‘good, so good’ so many times?

Most of the songs sound amazing, purely because of Carrie’s vocal ability, but the songwriting sometimes felt really awkward–like too many syllables were being jammed into a note, or the stresses of the word itself not fitting in with what was going on musically.

Just heard “Temporary Home” on the radio today – as much as I love Carrie’s voice, I must say that she sounds the best I’ve ever heard on this track. Her voice doesn’t get shouty (a little bit at the end of the second chorus, but that’s it) at all.

Plus it’s a great story. I really want her new album…

I really enjoy Th especially after losing my son from a accident. It all the more I love this song. It will do great in christian music also. I don;t know why but for some reason I like undo it. I know its poppy ,but I like it.I really like the duet its really well done.I think someday when I stop loving you is as traditional country as they come. I this this album is the more acoustic album more mellow, than the others . Carrie’s vocals are fantastic but she doesn’t need to show off every song. I like this album I would give it a 4/5 stars its better organized then the other 2 albums. I really think Carrie is expressing herself more in this album than others. I like this album the best so far.

It’s great that Carrie is able to help write alot of the songs on this album. I enjoyed the album just like her previous ones. Filled with catchy pop tunes and sad ballads (my favorites) but with some variety in it. Sure, she’s getting better but I think in time, there will be that one album I know will have the right mix of cheesiness and some new fresh topics to sing about. She’s such a talent and I wouldn’t want her to be mediocre by singing the same formulaic songs (although, I wouldn’t have no problem with that since she’s got some nice pipes to bring forth) 4/5 rating. My favorites: Temporary Home, What Can I say, Change, Someday When I stop Loving you, Songs like this.

I think Carrie Underwood sounds wonderful on this album, but none of the songs really strike me as deep. Case in point: Temporary Home. Her voice is fantastic, but the song itself honestly isn’t anything to cheer about.

Yeah, that CNN performance was a cut above. She has those incredible pipes, and it seems like she’s connecting better with her material. Anxious to hear her sing with Dolly on her holiday special.

She needs to release Someday, but not right after TH. Quitter won’t kill her credibility, and if it does it will only be with those who begrudgingly gave it to her so it doesn’t really matter.
