Um, shouldn't be holding a cigarette instead of a phone? The smoke just looks random.

Bleh at "M.F.P.O.T.Y." It's as annoyingly grating as "Swagger Jagger," but I guess it'll serve its purpose.

I feel bad for this girl, everything is a mess this era. All the songs sound dated and just uninspiring. And the fact that we have Ariana Grande doesn't help.

M.F.P.O.T.Y. is absolutely awful! The lyrics are just stupid, and I cringe when I hear her say Mutha F**kin... I expected more from you Cher...

She's become such a derivative version of herself; I don't know how her label expects any of this music to become a hit.

"M.F.P.O.T.Y" sounds like an Avril B-Side... Catchy but trying too hard to match that Avril sound...
"Dirty Love": Probably the second best of the promo singles (next to "Bind Your Love"). If this does become a single, it could put a good name to drum'n'bass.
"Bind Your Love": Yup. Definitely the best, because it meshes her previous sound with the maturity she shows in "Sirens".
"Human": A little boring, but keeps the maturity on.

All the songs, apart from "I Wish," are boring and sound the same. Her debut album was very obnoxious, but it was much more believable than this new "mature" route they're gunning for.

Album is streaming on MTV.com!
ETA: Just listened, and I think this is a super solid album. Better and so much more mature than Sticks & Stones for me. Only "M.F.P.O.T.Y" sounds like it could be ripped right out of the trashy parts of her debut.
Highlights: "Just Be Mine" "Bind Your Love" "Sirens" "Goodnight" "Alone with Me"

I don't like her album and I see why all the singles failed. It really sucks because I LOVED her debut and it was monumental at that time in my life. The songs are flat and go nowhere. #BUMMED

This album is so solid, I'm really impressed. Maybe my fav pop album released this year so far.

Aside from "I Wish," the only other song I like on the album is "Alone with Me." It's sugary sweet pop at its finest.

I really like the album, but I feel like she's inconsistent, is she mature now, or is she still a bratty singer/rapper? I'm confused! Anyways, I still like it regardless and I hope Dirty Love is a single!

Projected to debut with 18-20k.
Sticks & Stones debuted at #9 with 32k (203k to date).

Her sales actually aren't that bad considering she'll probably end up doing only about 10k less than her debut, and that album had a pretty big hit in 'Want U Back'.

I'm pissed she doesn't have a digital booklet this time.

Checking out the album right now. This is so much better than her debut. Highlights:
Bind Your Love I Wish Human Sweet Despair Alone with Me
My immediate favorite is "Bind Your Love." That should've been the second single over "Sirens," which is decent, bur forgettable.

Pretty good album. I've loved "I Wish" and "Sirens" for a while now, but other favorites include the promo singles ("Bind Your Love", "Human", and "Dirty Love"; "MFPOTY" is annoying but catchy), and "Sweet Despair", which is giving me life right now. I like this more than her first album, but the only song with hit potential is "Bind Your Love".

^ Agreed, Sweet Despair is fantastic. Bind Your Love is super catchy. I'm not sure why they went with Sirens, gun-to-head, I can't remember the melody once it's over. "I Wish" should have been huge. I think the album is pretty solid, and the songs played great live when I saw her a few months ago. I want some USA success for her.

"Human" is definitely not getting enough love.
