Probably they were too scared of an post-explosion with the album getting released now...

So that's interesting that 8.0 is gone. Did somebody put a link to the album or something? Even then, they could just delete the post. hm. Maybe somebody should just start part 9? We were up at more than 80 pages anyway right?
Anyway, just wanna share some thoughts on the album, as I've had it since Friday (thank you street date violating record store hehe).
Memoirs, first of all, is a great album, and I'm finding it very satisfying to listen to. It's weird- it somehow, even despite the total absence of rappers, manages to be probably Mariah's most hard-edged album. The beats hit hard.
There is one song I kinda can't figure out (I'll do a full review of them all a bit later)- It's A Wrap. I like the song, but there's something about it thats just.....off, to me. It might be that they made the production on it match the rest of the album, and the song itself seems like it should maybe be a little smoother/softer. I kinda feel like she's shouting at me in the beginning of it too. The vocals are great, but I'm surprised at how much all out belting she did, considering the loungey sort of vibe of the song. I can see them recreating this for a live performance and she'd kill it.
Songs I LOVE and thought I was going to HATE: Candy Bling, More Than Just Friends, The Impossible(WOW). Best line: I love you like a Sugar daddy love you like a pimp caddy...lol....
Everyone keeps praising Ribbon....I have to say I'm lukewarm on that one and I'm not on board yet.

Her vocals on It's A Wrap are of the same vocal style she employed in most of the E=MC² tracks.

I had a few ways in my head of how it could be even better. I think the problem is in the production, more than w/ the vocals (if there is a "problem). The percussion is hard, like on most of the rest of the tracks, but it's a jazzy song. I'd love to hear some real drums and horns on it, a la Subtle Invitation or Circles.

Video idea for Up Out My Face: I thought of this while running the other day. They could do a video for this, and have Mariah be almost not even in it. They get a semi well known male actor, who is the "boy" that Mariah is telling off. She can be on the posters, and on TV, etc, while he is going about his day maybe trying to forget her/get her back. But he keeps seeing her on posters and on MTV etc etc. Maybe then Mariah could appear at the end of the video in some fashion. It would be pretty funny if done right. There would have to be a bunch of silly things the guy in the video does...maybe....sees Mariah on MTV and shakes his booty to it a little or something (UOMF is a song that makes you move for sure). IDK...it's a half baked idea yes but could be cool.

Radio just don't want to let go of Obsessed. This song seems like it's been out FOREVER. It just won't go away.lol And radio stations won't even attempt to move on to IWKWLI until they are done with Obsessed.

I have a record store in my town that's in a farmer's market, which is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They will always sell their new Tuesday releases the Friday before, you just have to ask at the counter. It's pretty cool. I don't remember how I found that out, now that I think about it. But ever since like...I think the Butterfly album I've been getting them early.

wow you are so lucky, I wish I knew a place like that. I'm having it shipped over from the US so I should get it in about 2 weeks, I don't know if I should wait or just download it tomorrow.

I just ordered the 50 deluxe album is it autographed? If it's the one with which you got "Obsessed" and "IWTKWLI" as immediate downloads, no.
