 "Great CD & Great experience" | 2009-06-25 |

They had to be thinking of me when they made this CD. It's a double CD but they are both the same! At first I thought it was crazy but then thouth twice b/c I was now able to leave one in my car and one in my clock radio. I'm strange I know.
I would also like to say that I have only 2 bad experiences w/ Amazon and the second was really my fault, I waited too long to order the CD and it came too late to be used. It was a gift for a shower and I'll just use it for another shower.
I had my car broken into and all my CDs (over 35)stollen, and trying to replace them has been a slow and costly process. If it wasn't for Amazon I would not have been able to replace as many as I have. If anything, the reason for the CD gift mishap was because Amazon has spoiled me by getting most of my purchases here faster then they were supposed to. I have total faith in them. |

 "Disappointing On Every Level!!!!!!" | 2008-09-11 |

| Shania Twain made a country crossover milestone with her 2nd album "Come On Over" which was all written and produced by one of pop rocks greatest producers & song writers "Mutt lange". Mutt just so happens to also be Shania's husband at the time and now x husband. I guess with high expectations to top themselves Mutt & Shania just didn't make UP! a winner. Instead it just seems like every song is trying so hard to be something and falls short. She tries so hard to create pop perfection and it just doesn't work. This album is nothing compared to "Come On Over" and i can see why she hasn't done an album since this mess fest. With her pending divorce i doubt Shania will ever be on top the way she was before. Her husband is beyond talented as a musical artist and without that marriage or union i doubt she will be able to find another hit maker to churn out the hits for her. |

Shania Twain's "Up" cd didn't sell as many copies as her previous ones, but I still think it's the best. There are so many good songs, and so many songs, period. None of them are bad. A few are mediocre but most are as good as anything that gets played on the radio.
I especially like "Forever and Always", "Nah", "Waiter, Bring Me Water", "Thank You Baby". These are just great.
I know I'm in the minority, but I think this is Shania's best album without a doubt. I liked her so much after this that I actually went to see her in concert. I never thought that would happen, but here music became more pop and I loved it. |

 "Despite the Generosity, 'Up!' Is a Step Down" | 2007-08-01 |

(3 1/2 *'s) Shania Twain is entirely fun, frolicking, and infectious. Her preceding two albums, 'The Woman in Me' and 'Come on Over' are hybrid classics that are remarkable and entertaining. On 'Up' we get the same generous helpings as always, even if the fare is uneven in quality throughout. The best moments are almost at par with her best, but the lesser works sound like middle of the road music from the 1980's. If she were more selective about the quality, she could give us all another great C.D. like its predecessors. If only the delivery lived up to the exclamation points of her song titles, this musical trek could have gotten unstuck in a trot and gone for a gallop.
Off to a promising start, the title track ushers her familiar effervescence with fun lyrics to match. Following is the playful mischief of "I'm Gonna Get You Good,' which is then almost matched by "She's Just Not a Pretty Face". In the slower realms she truly satifies with the heartwarming "Forever and for Always" and later with "I Ain't Going Down". Unfortunately, most of the rest goes downhill. "Ain't No Particular Way" and "Ka-Ching" add variety but in an unremarkable way. Most of the rest is filler that reminds one of middle of the road pop from the eighties.
You can't knock her generosity too heavily. Complete with two C.D.'s one more pop friendly, the other with country leanings, Shania Twain may well rest on her laurels for awhile. For even a decent entry on her behalf, she's always a welcome addition to my C.D. collection.

Up is Shania's fourth album. It is much more of a pop than a country production. It comes as 2 discs, one called a pop version and the other a country version. However, even teh supposed country version has notable pop influences. Genre aside, this is a great CD from Shania. It has a whole bunch of fun songs and a good mix too - the songs do not sound like each other. There's a lot of music, it clocks in at 1 hr and 13 min. Great value for the Shania fan. My favs:
Up
I'm Gonna Getcha Good
She's Not Just a Pretty Face
Ain't no Particular Way
Nah!
KaChing
WAiter
What a Way to Wanna Be
I Ain't in the Mood
In My Car - verges on rock |

| I love the title son "Up" - but there are sooo many songs on this albusm-Shania really likes to give her fans their money's worth. I had to listen to a few a couple of times, at first, they are so different from her previous style. And so many songs! Maybe there's too many-I mean, I don't think some of my favorites got much airtime-In My Car Ill Be the Driver-I thought for sure that would be a really big hit. And "No Particular Way"--that is really great. Not pop-not countryi-I don't know, but I really enjoyed it. And, "I'm Not in the Mood" pop version, really has a great beat. Of Course, "Forever and Always", GOnna Getcha Good, and many others, are good, too. She is my absolute favorite female artist-my kids introduced me to her years ago with "An Man of Mine", and I've been hooked ever since. |
