It's my favourite Mariah album. There's almost no vocal acrobatics and unfortunately that's what people with a very narrow minded view of her talent want from her. Regardless, the songs are wonderful, well-written, mature and carefully interpreted.

Irresistible is very good!

Interesting. I think the main reason to why I like the album is because I knew about Mariah before listening to it. She was going through a lot at the time (the years prior to its release that is), and I feel like some of the lyrics are really good and genuine.

My Saving Grace, Yours, Subtle Invitation, Bringing On The Heartbreak > the rest of the album.
Hell Rainbow > Charmbracelet.
And Rainbow was all over the place.

I just don't understand Rainbow. It's impossible for me to get into it. Ugh.

Totally agree. Sometimes I prefer it over her earlier work because, as you put it, there are almost no vocal acrobatics.

You do? Even Glitter and Rainbow? And Memoirs also? (I haven't listened to these except from two or three songs from each album.)

I only use the anthem, Through the Rain, the epic whistle on the cover, Bringin' On the Heartbreak, and the life-saver, My Saving Grace. I have to say it's my least favorite Mariah album.

The songs you mentioned are just 
It's top 8 for me. After Mariah Carey, Emotions, Emancipation, Daydream, Butterfly, E=MC2 and Music Box (excluding the Christmas albums of course).

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know that I'm strong enough to mend

She doesn't even deserve it right now, releasing generic trash to please a pop audience. Yes I love that generic trash but Cassadee is serving a whole other level! She'll never compare to Queen Avril but this song is EVERYTHING Avril never managed to do after Let Go!

Lord thank you
For delivering me
And giving me peace
Giving me strength
Giving me hope when I'd
Almost lost it all
Catching my every fall
I still exist because you keep me safe
Always MYYY! SAVING! GRACE!!

Why did Through The Rain flop so hard? I never understood. Maybe because the US radio didn't give it a chance.
It's way better than anything she recently released from Touch My Body onwards.
