iknow i've been doing a lot of album reviews lately but this will probably be my last for now; (maybe i'll do chrisette michelle since pple have been pestering me to listen) anyways, Fantasy Ride is Ciara's Junior effort in the music biz, or should ijust say her 3rd album. iwas routing for Ciara ireally was, i'll be honest though, iwasent to much of a fan until just recently, isearched her name and just got a little more interested. this album came in @ #3 on the charts falling two spots behind Chrisette Michelle's Epiphany & one spot behind Miley Cyrus. compared to her previous efforts, regretfully ihave to say this thrid album is indeed a flop. her debut album Goodies opened up @ #3 on the Billboard 200 as well, but sold over 125k in its first week. her sophomore album Evolution opened up @ #1 on both the R&B charts & the Billboard 200, selling over 330k in its first week! c'mon ciara fans where ya'll @? shes been on numerous magazine covers, did plenty of appearances, and even has about 20,000 mini-commercials on MTV playing as ispeak, seeing that the fans went ballistic when this album was getting really bad reviews, they didnt do anything about it, her album barely sold 81k in its first week, for Ciara's career, thats terrible. but this album to me isn't as bad as others might consider it to be, its very up-tempo but thats the Ciara we've known for years. the album has maybe one to four slow songs tops. the more notable slow songs are Never Ever, & Lovers Thing. the album artwork is where ihave to put my foot down, ithink Ciara tried to hard to make it as creative as possible, making the pictures look more on the Tacky side, than on the creative side. the cornrows do not rock with me @ ALL, and shes been getting a lot of slack for jacking beyonce's style. say what you want, Ciara's album Fantasy Ride is a big disappointment for fans all over the world. in my opinion, its a 2.5 out of 5, all elements included (artwork, creativity, singing, style, etc.)
