NEXT LEVEL received a lot of hate when it was release because people thought it didn't go far enough into the "next level." No one really liked the covers, it wasn't cohesive and didn't have any flow, and everyone thought that Sparkle was really the only "next level" song. rollin' was just a new version of everywhere nowhere, the rock section could be on any of her other albums, GREEN didn't fit at all, curtain call was terrible, etc. The interludes were well loved though. People finally started turning around though.

As for Rock'n'Roll Circus, everyone thought that the title was misleading and that lead to the controversy. Microphone was really the only song that fit the title. Lady Dynamite did as well but that song wasn't well received. People only really liked Microphone, SLT, and Don't look back. Everything else was snoozefest for a lot of people.
Funny enough this describes about 90% of her discography...
