E=mc2 LEAKED!

Mariah's latest endeavour has been exposed to the internet. Now being a fan of hers I will definately by the album, but there are still some who will download it illegally and not purchase it. Anyway, heres my track by track review...
Migrate: This is a perfect album starter. It gets you head bouncing up and down. Mariah has definately raised the bar as far as her upbeat tunes go. T-pain features and he doesn't sing the hook, surprisingly. Those beloved high notes are the first thing you hear and then the futuristic beat kicks in!
Touch My Body: We've all heard it. Cute, sassy and funny. A good pop addition.
Cruise Control: I love this song. A perfect summer song, why else would Damian Marley be on it. Mariah adds in some more of her lingo "Can't nobody can't nobody tell me nothin" and then she breaks into her convincing Jamaican accent.
I Stay in Love: Many people say this is the next "We belong Together". Am I the only one who doesn't agree? The lyrics are good, however the beat is a little nineties.
Side Effects: Perfect. Evoking lyrics, catchy tune and Mariah's style is on point. If this song is who I think it's about it would be interesting to see her perform it live. This has to be a single. One worry is that it's packed with so many lyrics (like breakdown) that only fans would sing along to it word perfectly.
I'm That Chicks: This is HOT! A mid-tempo jam for everyone, lyrics are again funny and slightly cocky. Mariah mention Tupac, Biggie, Bentleys and God-flavour like Ice cream. This is going to be big.
Love Story: This is one of the best ballads on the album. Mariah showcases her song-writing flare. You have to sit down and listen to it. Beautiful.
I'll be Lovin U Long Time: Another up-tempo made for the clubs and the car stereo. DeBarges "Stay With Me" is sampled, and the tune is fire! Mariah's never done something like this before.
Last Kiss: JD helps Mariah with this. This is a remberbable track. Lyrics are the main focus of this song, it feels like Mariah's having a deep conversation with you. Very intimate, you can tell they took there time on this one.
Thanx 4 Nothin: Mid-tempo song the ladies will like. It's about that unreliable partner that kept lying to you. Mariah actually sounds sad on this one. If your looking for her best vocals on the album look no further.
O.O.C: Swizz Beats does the beat on this one. This is definately for the car stereo and for the lead up to a night out. Listening to the track its making me type faster, it hypes you up. I'm gettin so out of control baby.
For The Record: Some might know this from the "M" perfum commercial. This song is timeless. Mariah sings perfectly, Brian Cox created a musical masterpiece. This is one of those bitter-sweet song. It probably wont be a single, but musical connoiseurs will love love this. Mariah mentions her previous hits in this song. Listen out for them.
Bye Bye: A ballad that will either be loved or ignored. It's message is a heartwarming comfort for those who have lost someone. In America it will be big. But here in England I'm not so sure. I personally like it, not my favourite but Mariah voice is so clear, as in We Belong Together, you can understand her. For those that need that comfort its message will be conveyed.
I Wish You Well: A gospel Aretha-esque song that will be loved by die-hard fans and christians. I think. This and Thanx 4 nothin are the best tracks vocally. This is wondeful!
To conclude I'd give this 4 out of 5. Mariah masters uptempo on this record. Saying this she still sounds the best when talking about sad matters. "Side effects" is the new Breakdown! Her ballads are good espescially "Bye Bye" and "Love Story", however "The Emancipation Of Mimi" raised the bar and overall they're not as good. Where she does best is on tracks where she is vulnerable emotionall "I Wish You Well" and "Side Effects". Sadness has so much impact, and Mimi knows this.
Mimi part 1 was about the slow jams part 2 is about party songs, if you combine the ballads from part 1 and the up-tempos from part 2 you'll get the perfect Mariah album.
