Anybody cop the album today?

One of the best albums to come out this year. 5 Mic R&B Piff IMO. Went to TARGET earlier and this joint was selling like hot cakes. I think it'll movemore units than Hov's joint.

New Vid:
 
Bought it this afternoon. Looks like it sold a few copies, but the store I got it from didn't buy a lot of them...or at least not nearly as many as theydid for 50 and Kanye.

The album Superwoman is a lot better than the acoustic version that's been on the web. The 2 singles and Lesson Learned are Grammy material as well as forSuperwoman. I'm also feeling Tell You Something and The Thing About Love. Through 1 listen, I can't say any other songs jumped out at me (not countingthe Intro, which is as usual for her pretty cool); I even had to skip a couple after a minute or so because it sounded like she was just screaming. But take mymini-review knowing that I only liked about 4-5 songs on her last album. But overall, it's a good album. IMO she shot 6 for 14, which might not seem good,but those songs she hit on for me are better than almost all R&B put out this year. Just like on Diary: although only about a third of the album was goodIMO, the songs that comprised that third were all song of the year candidates. That's pretty much how I feel about this record except about half of it isgood and the songs that make up that half are all high caliber records that most artists would kill just to have one of on their albums.
 
I guess I'm the only one, but I can't stand "No One". I don't like the way she sounds at all.It's like she's just screaming the whole time. The 2nd single should've been the first one IMO.

good album produced mostly by alicia keys. she's one talented artist.
 
How does it compare to the other 2?? I was thinkin about getting it a few mins ago when I drove past Circuit City, but I'm not feeling the first single ATALL. And I doubt it will live up to The Diary . . .

I just wanted some honest imput before I copped
 
didn't disappoint despite the lack of media attention.

im copin friday
yo whats up with her and common she was just n his video and now this
 
album wasnt attaching to me....i only like the mayer song and maybe the prelude to a kiss
 
Not feeling her music too much, but I would definitely like to feel her

giggity-giggity-awwwriiiight
 
I am going to EDIT lol. i like 3 songs in her CD know lol-- Perlude to kiss - Like you will never see me again and NO one ( 3/14) i am gonna give it a chancesince it is A.Keys lol. But i am mad at common, i can't belive he is in her video and all. Jay z made a move that way to get at Beyonce lol and if commongets her -- i am not gonna buy his CD ever lol.
 
i liked the album, its been actually getting more spins than AG as blasphemous as it may seem...maybe cuz ive been in a mellow mood
 
Album is solid 4/5 and better than Diary IMO. Not better than Songs In A Minor though. Prelude to Kiss should have been longer....that song is crack!
 
the album was ok. i liked "Like You'll Never See Me Again, Lesson Learned, and Tell You Something"
 
I think this is her best album honestly. **waits for those who say it just came out and give it time***

It will go down as her best album (of the first three).
 
It's a great album, for sure... soulful and catchy at the same time, not something many can pull off.

Tell You Something, Prelude, Lesson Learned, and Thing About Love are my favorites... though I was a big fan of No One also.

Not as good as Songs in A Minor, but this is her second best, no doubt.
 
Superwoman with all the instruments is like candy to my ears. I can't stop listening to this track. I'd be bumping Lesson Learned, Like I'll NeverSee You Again, and No One non-stop too but I've had them for a long time now. Thing About Love (the bridge saves it) and Tell You Something are good trackstoo.
 
Wreckless Love = Fallin' = If I Aint Got You

I can't get that damn tune out of my head.
