I really love the album. I love that her sound and vibe is different and I was surprised and impressed. that there was not even a duet or feaut. any rappers which was nice. I love the track standing o. wow. I give the album 5 stars! angels cry is a great track, makes me wanna cry. I love everything that she releases really but this album is great! When I came on tue sep. 29 the day it was released, I came around 11 in the morn and there was only two albums of hers, wow. i was surprised and so happy best buy was selling it for only $10!! wow! I should have gotten more than one copy!! give the record 2 or more spins and you really love it!
What's great about it: she went in a different direction with this album, with sound and vibe and I am impresssed

I bought this CD the day it came out, and I gotta say that this is her best album ever! Mariah has always been a great artist, but "Angel" truly lets her fly free! No lamb (Mariah fan) will be disappointed.
10/10 stars! :D
What's great about it: Deep, well written tracks, great vocals

This is an amazing cd I was skeptical at first wondering if she can pull off another hit album and she has proved again that she is still on top. I loved all of the songs on the album. My favorite track is The Impossible it reminds me of Jodeci/RKelly esque period in the early 90's which I love. I also love the collaborations with The Dream. HATEU, Candy Bling, and Ribbon are hot tracks as well. Please dont pass this by especially if you are a fan, and also I feel bestbuy has this wonderfully priced at 9.99 this week.
What's great about it: Great vocals, tracks, and beats.
What's not so great: Nothing to Complain about here would have loved more songs

I bought this cd because of the cutomer reviews on this website, however, I was not very pleased with this cd. In fact, I only liked 2 songs on it. I really liked Mariah's last cd, and several ones before that, but not this one so much. I would def. listen to it on iTunes or something before purchasing it.

I made sure that when September 29, 2009 came around, that I would get this album. I was pretty hooked when "Obsessed" was on the radio and was eagerly anticipating when this CD would come out. As a true Mariah fan, I do love this album. However, I think that some of the songs don't sound like they would even come from someone like her. Don't get me wrong, I like them all. Songs like "Betcha Gon Know", "Standing O" and "It's A Wrap" don't sound like "her songs". For instance, I can compare "Candy Bling" to a song like "Always Be My Baby" or "Angels Cry" to "We Belong Together". Again, I love this album, but don't necessarily agree with who she worked with (The Dream) or some of the songs that were chosen for the album.
What's great about it: A lot of songs!
What's not so great: doesn't sound like Mariah the whole time

Memoirs is a sonically-cohesive album that might wear on some listeners for being quite same-y. The songs are all good, but none are extremely outstanding. The lead single "Obsessed" is a harder, more hip-hop/R&B sound than what we're used to hearing from Mariah, and mostly it works, but the subject matter and lyrical content might be off-putting. The album is a tad bloated and the final four songs are treacly and don't quite fit with the rest of the album tracks. This is not a Mariah album that will appeal to everyone, but it's much like her previous album Charmbracelet. You either really like it for its intimacy and what it's trying to do, or you hate it for the lack of strong hits and a more pop/multi-genre sound.
My Best Buy number: 570654849
What's great about it: H.A.T.E.U, Candy Bling, Ribbon, Up Out My Face (Reprise)
What's not so great: Songs all good, but few standout
