The material speaks for itself. She was MADE for this type of 60s mixed with modern influences sound  HELLO, the first disc has HIT after HIT after hit oh my god......

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mercy On Me and Save Me From Myself are literally her top 2 

Yes kinda. Visuals wise tho, Stripped is definitely her best

Both are goated I fear. On Our Way was truly ahead of its time for certain people too!

Her best album imo

Her last decent album

Back in the Day is so good.

 slow down baby

 

 and don't act crazy 

 cuz you know you can look all you want but you just can't touch 

 

 

Disc 1 is almost flawless, but Disc 2 only has 3 songs I use...it couldʻve been one album for me 

wait does the cover not look kinda weird there? I never realized her eyes looked that weird?

Yeah it could have used some trimming but I do think this is the Xtina album with the least amount of filler. She was really focused and sharp this whole era

I like Back to Basics much more than Stripped. Its one of my favorite albums from 2000s.

YOU GOT ME FEELING

LIKE YOU'RE THAT SOMETHING

IVE BEEN MISSING

EVERYTHING IS HEAVEN

CAUSE LIFE WITH YOU HAS BEEN A BLESSING

 

Oh Mother alone decimates career.

Yeah I'm not sure what's happening with the colour grading in the cover they're using for streaming platforms. It's supposed to look like this:

 

 

Back on topic, yeah this is by far my favorite project of hers. Not only she fit this style so well but she executed the concept SO well. The music, the imagery, the music videos, the tour... This IS Christina Aguilera for me. Her signature style and what I think of first when I hear her name. 

 

My one gripe with it is that it is indeed kinda bloated. I'm just not a fan of long albums. But the music is just so good and nowadays you can cut the fluff and keep what you like so I'm willing to turn a blind eye. 

yup, the OG cover is way better than that weird edited version.
