    LIBERATION is neither an improvement to 2012's Lotus, or makes any memorable, new statement that'll save her falling career. Some good songs, and some low points that go very low. To be honest, it really doesn't feel as much like a liberation as Christina thinks it its.

    Liberation is a grower. Some of its experimental aspects may not seem appealing at first listen, but becomes much better over time.

    Best tracks: Accelerate, Like I Do, Fall in Line, Sick of Sittin', Deserve
    Worst track: Pipe

    Liberation sees Christina Aguilera triumphantly jump right back to her prime, reclaiming her status as an inspirational, empowered woman who's willing to use her voice to help her congeners while portraying herself as, not only a sexual woman, but also a vulnerable one and a mother.

    'Liberation' stands up as Xtina's most cohesive, empowered and experimental album until date. Her voice glows through breakable ballads full of ear-catchy samples and delicate R&B mid-tempos, in which her sophomore capacity of self-reinvention is again remarkable.

    What a masterpiece! "Liberation" was an amazing return to form after Christina‘s previous album "Lotus" (2012). I don’t hate "Lotus" but it didn’t feel like an Xtina album at all.

I don’t hate "Lotus" but it didn’t feel like an Xtina album at all. For the first time ever she was chasing trends (dance pop), wasn’t involved in the songwriting on many songs and didn’t evolve as an artist. It felt rushed. "Liberation" picks up where the experimental and misunderstood "Bionic" (2010) left off. Christina experiments again and and sings from her heart. The lyrics talk about self empowerment, feminism ("Fall in Line", self esteem ("Sick of Sittin"), her fiancé ("Unless It’s With You"), self reflection ("Maria") and sex of course ("Pipe" & "Right Moves"). The album has so many gems. "Accelerate" might‘ve been a terrible comeback single choice but it is definitely the best song on the album. It’s experimental, it’s different and fresh. Very urban. It had to grow on me but now I‘m obsessed with it. "Deserve" and "Twice" are two of the best and most beautiful ballads of her entire career. "Fall in Line" is an amazing, powerful feminist anthem and Demi Lovato was a great choice for a collaboration. "Pipe" and "Right Moves" are two EXTREMELY sensual and sexy songs. She has never sounded sexier. The reggae influenced "Right Moves" had to grow on me but now I love it. "Maria" is a great self-reflective album opener which uses a Michael Jackson sample. Xtina experiments with so many sounds on this album. Overall it has a very urban feel to it. There’s R&B, Hip-Hop, pop-rock, reggae, 80s music sounds, electro-pop and pop of course. It’s incredibly diverse but it still sounds so cohesive. What I also like about "Liberation" is the way she uses her amazing voice on this album. All her albums after "Stripped" (2002) were kind of hard to listen to as she was trying way too hard to show off what a great voice she has. Especially on "Lotus". But on this album we hear her voice in a very soft way ("Pipe" & "Right Moves") and she’s belting without oversinging or screaming. The album sounds current without trying too hard. It was definitely worth the looong wait. The only reason why I don’t give 10 points are the interludes. She could’ve kept all of them except for "Liberation". They are not terrible but unnecessary. Favorites: Accelerate, Deserve, Fall in Line, Twice & Maria… Expand

Christina teams up withIn a pop era where everything seems formulated and lacking uniqueness, Christina Aguilera’s return is pretty much appreciated. After a safe and forgetful album like Lotus and a string of very commercial and radio-friendly collaborations, miss Aguilera decides to get real and raw and remind us all why she’s such an icon and a major influence for so many artists. Christina teams up with notorious figures from the current hip-hop scene like Kanye West and pop scene like Julia Michaels and MNEK, but also many extremely talented underdogs. Discovering and giving a chance to new talents is something Aguilera has done for a while now, and maybe that’s what helped her reach a climax where Pop is more moldable than ever before, embracing R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock and Reggae influences. Her versatile and one of a kind voice has no trouble in meeting with soulful and vocally challenging ballads/power-ballads (Twice, Fall In Line) while also adapting itself to simple, playful and sexy beats (Right Moves, Like I Do, Pipe). What makes this album so bright and memorable is those moments when Aguilera gets personal and takes no shorts: in Maria (her middle name but also the name of the main role of The Sound Of Music, which she samples in the intro for this song, Searching For Maria), she opens up her heart to the listener and dramatically expresses how she lost her passion for music in the way, which she wants to find again desperately; in Sick Of Sittin’, indirectly references the impact wrong professional choices had on her, rebelling herself to what the industry expects from her and searching for freedom and individuality; and at last but not least, the exquisite Unless It’s With You, where her voice is softer than ever and romantically opens her arms to love again to her significant one, after past heartbreaks. In conclusion, Christina Aguilera found her inner child, the pure and true love for music, her ultimate passion; and now she’s back in her classic fierce and unapologetic attitude that let us know that the best is yet to come, and Liberation is just the beginning.… Expand

Perhaps the greatest quality of this album, to me at least, is that it is very versatile and includes many different sounds and vibes while still managing to have unity & cohesiveness as a whole musical body of work! In Liberation, the listener can find a song for almost any occasion and any mood they might be in and the music will fit in greatly. It's also never really a Christina Aguilera album if it doesn't include those powerhouse vocals that the singer-songwriter is known for! This album is certainly no exception, as it contains some of her best vocal performances in years! Liberation is overall some of Aguilera's best work since Back To Basics in 2006. While it may not necessarily be her best album ever, Liberation is a worthy and quality addition to the excellent discography that Aguilera has given us over the years! Overall, this album is a solid and impressive body of work and I would recommend it to all Aguilera fans and any fan of music!

    Os combos Liberation, Searching for Maria e Maria junto a Dreamers e Fall in Line são os pontos positivos, sendo Maria a melhor do cd. Deserve e Twice também se juntam as melhores faixas do álbum.
    Um belo trabalho depois de 6 longos anos.    … Expand

    Christina Aguilera is the greatest singer in the world. Honestly, the most beautiful voice, the soul and the heart. On the top of that she's just doesn't care about charts anymore and that one of the reason why Liberation is so amazing : we don't feel like stupid sheep buyer but like we are blessed with a golden voice. THANK YOU. Peace and love.

Christina has always been the best and greatest artist of her generation we all know but she always likes to check and pass on the haters' face as this woman is talented and visionary.

    Desde Stripped, este tal vez es su segundo álbum mas personal. tiene algo de cada disco, la libertad de Stripped, un concepto muy solido como el de Back to Basics , la experimentación de Bionic y ese renacimiento de Lotus. Sin dudar, ¡ella lo hizo otra vez !

    Christina Aguilera is my queen. Apart from being beautiful, She is the voice of our generation.

    Christina Aguilera has one of the greatest voices of all time. Her ability to improvise and interpret her music is nearly unparalleled. Her voice transcends. She constantly amazes me. Her lives performances are breath-taking; often times, they surpass her studio recordings. Most pop artists cannot do that. Her range, her execution, her performance, everything is sublime.

    Liberation never reaches the heights fans likely wanted from Xtina, it serves as a pleasant refresher for a voice that has earned its place in the annals of pop history. That said, it’s a bit sad to feel like her finest moments are, at least for now, also in her past.

    Aguilera lets her talent fly as high as her freak flag, solving pop’s current obsession with box-ticking by nudging their lines into shapes more her liking.
