    "You Don't wanna hear about 9/11" - Mariah Carey

    The only thing more tragic then a national tragedy is the fact this woman still thinks she can sing lol

    the first half of the album is really good, but the second half sounds very dated and some tracks sound recycled

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrível. Músicas feitas para soar como um álbum de Ariana Grande, mas Mariah falha em tentar parecer jovem com um álbum redutivo e tão interessante quanto um caroço de abacate. Expand

    Mariah Carey has his career ups and downs. In the last decade lower than high. Caution is a work that walks on a paved road, without taking risks. The tracks are nothing different from the sonority of two decades ago. I expected something more different from Mariah.

    Such a lackluster album! It seems like she completely lost her touch. There's not even one standout track in the set

    I hated this album, it's annoying and repetitive like everything she does, she does not know how to innovate in her works

    Boring album, she repites the same formula she has been doing for years, no evolution or reinvention. And her vocas are nowhere, she is only whispering ,sad reality of an artist that was amazing in the past.

    The first few singles were already disappointing to me, very average unmemorable songs. The whole album has only 10 songs and the whole project is very average, even the better songs are forgettable and the whole album is painfully bland.

    Why is she still making records nobody buys? She's a has been whos only fans are petty gay men who hide behind her past achievements.

    Previously, Mariah Carey has made it clear that she’s been through too much to care what anyone else thinks, shrugging off critics and denying all drama. On Caution, Carey has channeled that energy into the music itself.

    She’ll employ of-the-moment producers to add current touches to her tracks, but the way she uses them on Caution results in her fine-tuning her aesthetic, not bending to current playlist-friendly trends.

    A neat album of only 10 tracks. We find her in life-admin mode, clearing out any dispensable trash that she no longer has time or the inclination for. ... Sublime.
