Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts, hastily made and released some five months after she won the 2005 American Idol crown, was surprisingly solid and tuneful. For her follow-up, producer Mark Bright steers her toward the big Martina McBride skies, with a plethora of strings and huge emotional crescendos. Underwood co-wrote four songs, mostly with the tried-and-true tunesmiths who made Some Hearts soar. On the torchy heartache ballad "I Know You Won't," she gives a beautifully nuanced and controlled performance, but if that song would suit any number of lush female pop stars from Celine Dion on down, "Flat on the Floor" rocks hard while preserving co-writer Ashley Monroe's Appalachian angst. Still, there are missteps: the easy tears of the unlikely war ballad "Just a Dream," a too-obvious attempt to repeat the sass of "Before He Cheats" ("The More Boys I Meet"), and the Shania-ish bad-girl-on-Cuervo stomp of "Last Name." The big payoff, then, is how much 24-year old Underwood has improved as a vocalist. How often listeners line up for this Carnival Ride depends on their attitude about country music's continual melding with pop, and how they feel about a princess upstart taking home the awards that used to go to her heroes. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews

AWESOME ALBUM!
I LOVE this album! It's as great as her first! Carrie Underwood is the best American Idol. I have really been enjoying her songs and I really feel that she sings the stories of the songs so well. She uses so many aspects of her voice. It's truly an awesome album!

who cares if its real country--it rocks and is a winner
i love this album !! i love her voice-- i dont find her screaming or over singing or whatever the naysayers are saying-i pity them if they can hear this and be turned off by it--- her voice is full and rich and the emotions in it are swell !!!! very compelling ----she has to be the biggest talent to come from that idiotic tv show-- the lush arrangements of every song couldnt be better and there isnt a dud on this great effort from someone who can really sing feel a song and put it over like a seasoned pro ! beautiful !! an incredible and glorious album and i cant stop playing it ! thanks carrie underwood and you go gurrrrrl !!! a real winner !!

More Country - Less Pop Album
Wow, I never thought that Carrie can top her debut album. But she did - with flying colors.

I do not know why some people think she's over-rated. She's very talented. She has a great voice that somehow gives me goose-bumps whenever I listen to her. She's just awesome.

My fave tracks in the album are All-American Girl, Crazy Dreams, I Told You So (A cover of the Randy Travis original) and The More Boys I Meet. This album has much more country sounds than Some Hearts.

Even if they sell this CD for twice more the amount, it would still be very much worth it. This amazing CD makes the skip button on my CD player totally useless.
