    Album que me faz tornar fã dessa rainha, jamis vou esquecer o dia comprei o cd fisico e assistir Not Myself Tonight na MTV e ouvir na radio e claro toda a sabotagem da Lady Virus, ainda não superei esse flop.

    Aguiera was so forward-thinking when she recorded Bionic. It really is ahead of time with its sound, lyrics, visual conception. The album's brave, energetic, soulful - simply flawless. "Birds of Prey" may be one of Aguilera's best tracks ever.

    Como a Aguilera mesmo diz, é um álbum a frente de seu tempo, que mesmo com a intervenção da maldita RCA, conseguiu fazer um trabalho diferente, intrigante e envolvente.

    Christina ousada, divertida, ao mesmo tempo transparente e vulnerável. Explicita porque Xtina está acima da média.

    This album is amazing. Every vocal, every rhythm, every feature fits perfectly into this cohesive album.

    Bionic is versatile, futuristic, retro, erotic and emotional at the same time..it's Aguilera's masterpiece. So underrated. Ahead of its time. Amazing minimalistic synth production, deep, emotional, fleshy and bold lyrics. A straight pathway to Xtina's heart.

    A really experimental and great record. It is one of her best works so far. She surely dives deep on the concept she worked with "Bionic", reflecting the idea of a bionic woman: hard working and strong. It is by far more revolutionary and foward thinking than 80% of the albums released t by the mainstream artists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand why critics can't like bionic, Bionic is not a bad album, but as everyone knows and should know, Lady Gaga sabotaged Bionic, I don't understand how she could do that, Bionic is better than Artpop, Her beats at the beginning are bionicos and in the middle of the album we meet the flesh and blood christina, and to finish we find that bionic christina again… Expand

    Bionic is xtina's best album along with back to basics. The production of each track is spectacular, highlighting the 'elastic love' and the title track itself.

    "Bionic" is an intense piece of work. It's a little bit all over the place, but years later, it feels like it was truly misunderstood. Songs like "All I Need", "Lift Me Up" and "You Lost Me" have so much soul, and tracks like "Prima Donna", "WooHoo", "Vanity" or the title track, so much sass! A classic!

    Esta es una obra de arte. Es uno de los mejores trabajos de Christina Aguilera, tiene canciones para todos los gustos y todas tienen relación con la temática, sus visuales son extraordinarias al igual que su look en esta era. Mis favs son woohoo, you lost me, birds of prey. (Fue difícil escoger mis favoritas tbh)

    The ONLY album that holds the true title of being an occult album. So occult its 2021 vinyl-rerelease was SOLD OUT IN HOURS. In its year of release it got unnecessary slack created by Perez Hilton with his blog together with Lady Gaga, but in its upcoming years it continued to prove that the album is truly ahead of its time.

    Very experimental body of work!
    Not Myself Tonight is a great dance song and You lost one of aguilera's greatest ballads ever.

    I really like this album. Although I would consider it a slight notch below Back to Basics, it's still a really strong entry. The deluxe tracks are what really impressed me. Those songs with Santigold should have been on the normal version rather than say Not Myslef Tonight.

    This album is defintely one of this years best pop albums. Electric, supersonic, futuristic indeed. The title track tones down Aguilera's voice, something differen from shat she has done before. Her voice in most of the songs is a actually soothing to the ear. The album does lose you a little with 5 back to back ballads. It becomes a bore throughout that section.

The album does lose you a little with 5 back to back ballads. It becomes a bore throughout that section. However it comes right back up with her fast paced "We will rock you" beat wounding song, I hate boys. Definitely a throw back to her "Cant Hold Us Down" days. It is followed by the Peaches produced song "My Girls," another upbeat song about just having fun! the deluxe version includes a track called "Bobblehead." if you were to take Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl," modernize it, and make fun of it at the same time, that is what you'll get with this track. Definitely a floor stomping song. It Also includes the "Fighter" sounding "Stonger than Ever" and the Ladytron produced "Birds of Prey." The latter sounds like a hot Jennifer Paige ("Crush") mixed with Alice in Wonderland and the Matrix all together. Othe great songs? The vogue-esque "Glam". She definitely shows off her old voice (like her old self) mid song as she does with "Vanity." Also, "Prima Donna" is a great hip hop track to be looking out for in the clubs. Overall, a great dance album. The ballads lose you a little bit, but overall the artist's best album to date. Deluxe songs are definitely worth the extra money!… Expand

    Bionic is exactly what Christina Aguilera promised-Fun and light-heartedness. I enjoyed Bionic from the Title Track all the way through I Am (Stripped). What I like most about the album is that there's a little something for everyone. You can make your own tracklisting as you may not like all 20 tracks and 3 intros.

    As convincing as she attempts to sound, Bionic does nothing to persuade authenticity.

    Because she's bold enough to do it her way, Aguilera maintains her reign.

    Sure, her voice remains full, brash, and loud. But ultimately, so much of what passes for hedonism on Bionic feels synthetic and compulsory.
