I haven't been able to listen to the whole album yet, but so far these are my initial impressions.

I really love the music and the arrangements so far.

The weak points of this album are that the singles don't mix and her vocals. Her vocals really sound strained I think and they are often overpowered by the music. Also her vocals are very processed, much more than any other album, they also use tons of filters on this album. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence for what her vocals will be like on the tour (and that's assuming that she actually attempts to sing these songs live.)

I'll give a track by track review and rating once I've been able to digest it all.
