While I'm sure there are many with wonderfully in-depth opinions as well as the equally vapid when discussing the quality of Bionic, I'm fairly certain the entire thread can be summed up by one word: Yes.

Monday Morning is incredible. Elastic Love is strong. Sia tracks are strong. So what they said - the tracks by other artists were really good. the rest were standard. that said, the album is better than anything by kesha or katy perry or britney except she didnt put the hit singles on the album. so yea the album's presentation was bad but the material recorded for the album was strong.

I actually enjoyed some of the tracks on the album, but songs like NMT, Woohoo, My Girls, IHB, etc are terrible! The ballads are great and Elastic Love is amazing...the album is just all over the place so messy!

It's not so much that it was bad, it's just the songs were bland and forgettable. I guess you could say the album was just average.

There is nothing really wrong with the album. It's just perception. Her single flopped and there has been some public backlash. Media, and radio have not supported her this era. As a society we love to put people on pedestals but we also like to watch people fall from grace so to speak. As far as the album goes, maybe it was not a masterpiece but if you push aside all the junk it's a quality effort.

Is Bionic truly terrible? Not at all. I still have NMT, Lift Me Up, You Lost Me, Woohoo, I Am and Birds Of Prey on my ipod and listen to it fairly often. They just needed to cut half the crap and make it standard 11/12 song album. I think most people even didn't bother to get through the whole thing and rather reject it, because it was 'easier'.

I love You Lost Me and Lift Me Up, but the rest of the album is not good enough for someone of Christina's capabilities. I expect more from her, because she has earned that respect. This album deserved the poor sales. She'll return with better stuff.

I was shocked to think that song was a gigantic smash hit, and all four ladies on it were producing smash hits. Today, only one of them is making hits, (P!nk) and two of them aren't even around anymore. (Lil Kim and Mya)
