Reviews Customer Reviews for Charmbracelet      no case-      Rating:      Music is great, no doubt. I just wanna complain to the sender that no case was included, and there are many scratch on the disc which is still readable by CD player. But the condition posted was "excellent"-it is NOT! I would like to change it with better condition's one.     Customer Reviews for Charmbracelet Cd      bland and boring...      Rating:      I know Mariah could have done better on this album. The only song I like from this album was Through the rain, everything else was so dead. It was a complete borefest. There was no passion, no excitement, no sparks. It didn't really feel like a Mariah Carey album. It was like she was completely absent on this. I wanted her to show off her beautiful vocals that made her famous, but all I got was whispers. People may think that Glitter was her worst, but I don't think they have seen worst yet compared to this album. At least Glitter was more fun to listen to. It got me on my feet, but this album did not. I like the theme, but the songs could have been better. She could have put more effort and emotion into it like her previous albums, but I guess she was going thru alot during that time why she didn't put enough effort into this. Editorial Reviews for Charmbracelet Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Mariah Carey's ninth album has been touted as her comeback album, coming as it does after the belly flop that produced the overwrought soundtrack to her ill-fated film, Glitter. With Charmbracelet, Carey goes out of her way to fix all those aesthetic glitches, tempering the overblown vocals, simpering lyrics, and uninspired funk covers of her last album and returning to what she does best--showcasing her magnificent five-octave voice and pillaging her lift history for inspiration. After her breakup with superstar Luis Miguel, MTV meltdown, hospitalization for exhaustion, and the death of her father, Carey had a lot of emotional baggage to sift through. She has and, as a result, has created an inspired and diverse 15-song opus that finds her skipping from an impassioned Aretha Franklin-like gospel ("Saving Grace") to an impish cover of Def Leppard's power ballad "Bringin' on the Heartbreak." Though he's not mentioned by name, rapper Eminem is given a pointed drubbing on "Clowns" for hinting in the press and in his own song "Superman" of a relationship with Carey. There hasn't been such a compelling musical soap opera since Carly Simon's '70s roman à clef, "You're So Vain." However, the disc's most inspiring moment comes on "Sunflowers for Alfred Roy," a wistful elegy for her father that recounts his final days in his hospital room. This is a stunning return to form for Carey. --Jaan Uhelszki
