Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics - Disc 1 or Disc 2?

so as Xtina described herself:

Quote:

The songs in the two-disc album are constructed in different style. The first disc is a throwback album with elements of '20s, '30s, and '40s blues and jazz with a modern-day twist. Most songs employ record sampling except "Without You", "F.U.S.S.", and "Still Dirrty".

The second disc is kept authentic, sticking to a really raw, old-soul sound. The record also use elements with a 1920s circus theme.

Tracklist:

Disc 1
01 Intro (Back to Basics)
02 Makes Me Wanna Pray (feat. Steve Winwood)
03 Back in the Day
04 Ain't No Other Man
05 Understand
06 Slow Down Baby
07 Oh Mother
08 F.U.S.S.
09 On Our Way
10 Without You
11 Still Dirrty
12 Here to Stay
13 Thank You (Dedication to Fans...)

Disc 2
01 Enter the Circus
02 Welcome
03 Candyman
04 Nasty Naughty Boy
05 I Got Trouble
06 Hurt
07 Mercy on Me
08 Save Me from Myself
09 The Right Man

so, which disc do you choose? I chose disc 2! :D

"Ain't No Other Man" and "Oh Mother" are the only songs that I really like from the first disc, whereas on the second, I really like "Candyman", "Hurt", "Mercy On Me" and "Save Me From Myself". The entire second disc runs smoothly altogether so it's an obvious choice for myself.

Good poll :) I didn't enjoy the album so much when it first came out, but this year I've come to realize just how amazing it is as a whole.

Ooooooh, tough. >_<

I'll go with disc one though. :heart

Disc two is flaw free :heart
