    Acompanho a Christina desde o seu grande álbum Stripped, que assim como a mim, ajudou a muitas outras pessoas a superarem as dificuldades e não abaixarem a cabeça, após tantos trabalhos que nos dá orgulho de escutar e compartilhar, ela veio com Liberation algo totalmente diferente do que esperávamos e simplesmente surpreendente. Um álbum maravilhoso e inspirador

    Here's an album that's fresh, sexy, and lirycally intriguing, too. Liberation is mature, ambitious, and very coheisve. There's not one weak song on this album. Aguilera delivered another release meant for cult status.

    Liberation is a beautifully done, cohesive album. She plays with many different textures/tones of her voice which i loved. lyrically it was both deep/introspective as well as flirty/fun. I LOVE this album. There are not many albums I can listen to from beginning to end without any skips and truly enjoy the journey and story being told. It's everything you'd want from a Christina Aguilera album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole concept of the album is about finding yourself again. Each song is written carefully and contains meaningful lyrics that I'm sure everyone will find themselves in at least one song. There are some songs that need second or third listening, but all songs eventually grow in you. This album is amazing! Expand

    Liberation is about finding your truth is to free yourself from the post of Pop Diva. Free yourself from ungrateful media and also get rid of that craving for charts.
    Liberation is about TRUTH IN MUSIC!

    This album is not for the masses. It does not ride onto the top40 formula, consistent with the sensibilities and creativity of Stripped and Back to Basics. Ergo, it is fresh and dare I say intelligent. It is the music of thinking people.

    One of the greatest voices on earth!

    Only Christina Aguilera has the balls to make an album like this. She explores, she experiments, she DELIVERS. Her voice is at her best, and the sound is sick. 'Deserve' has to be a single, THE best song of the year.

    A masterpiece! Christina always doing a big work, i love how she's flirting with R&B and HIP-HOP sounds, reminds the stripped era.

    The best album ever released this year, Christina shows us her flawless singing in various musical rhythms, R & B, Soul, Hip-Hop and Pop. She deserves all the good. She is amazing!! Maria, Fall in Line, Masochist e Deserves the best of the whole album.

    An album that keeps pace with modern pop trends while remaining true to Aguilera’s past.

    Liberation never reaches the heights fans likely wanted from Xtina, it serves as a pleasant refresher for a voice that has earned its place in the annals of pop history. That said, it’s a bit sad to feel like her finest moments are, at least for now, also in her past.

    Aguilera lets her talent fly as high as her freak flag, solving pop’s current obsession with box-ticking by nudging their lines into shapes more her liking.
