Christina Aguilera's new album, Bionic took a few listens to to really get to know. It doesn't pull you in right away, it actually bored me a little bit for the first listen. Bionic is a fitting title for it though, with it being more robotic and electronic than any of her other music. Her bubbly pop is gone, Bionic is more grunge, more down and dirty than anything she's done before. After a couple listens it grew on me, but still underwhelmed. I found the album very repetitive with boring lyrics and beats. Her tries at ballads in Lift Me Up, I Am and You Lost Me were nice efforts, but lacked the emotional depth of her other ballads. Her more up tempo songs like Woohoo and I Hate Boys were weak. The sucesses were in my opinion My Girls featuring Peaches, Glam and Bionic which had a more groovy feel.
Overall, this effort was emotionless, robotic, repetitive and colourless.
Skip it.
Two Lambs out of Five!
