Oct 23, 2015“Storyteller” is lackluster and a little too forgettable with no stand out hit songs on this album. Storyteller is Underwood’s fifth studio album and her lead single “Smoke Break,” is her worst selling lead single to date with just over 200K sold. That is dismal when you consider Carrie use to easily get 1 and sometimes 2 million sold from her songs.

Oct 23, 2015Wow, this is Carrie at her finest! Her best album to date. She teamed up with two new producers and it paid of! So many good and strong songs. Beautiful written. So co-writing half of the album consider it a job well done!
-
Dec 18, 2015I've listened several times trying to like this album. I don't. I really love Carrie's voice and have purchased several of her songs. However, I won't from this one. They don't appeal to me at all. I wish she would use other types of songs and other song writers.

Nov 8, 2018This isn’t even music. It’s an over produced slug fest of the most cliche sickening elements of country music. No wonder her sales get worse and worse.
-
Nov 8, 2018Another terrible album by Carrie. She is one of the worst songwriters. She should stick to singing. She can’t write and she really can’t act. Embarrassment to country music.
-
Nov 8, 2018Yawn. Does she ever sing with real emotion? No. She’s a faux artist. There are no good songs on this dreadful album.

Oct 23, 2015Carrie gave us her best album to date. The stories on this album are full of emotions. Besides, her voice have never been used better and the production never fails.
-
Oct 23, 2015Don't listen to those negative reviews. It's all probably just one person trying to hate on Carrie. That person obviously has too much time on his/her hands. Anyway, this album blew me away. I felt on top of this world listening to this album and I love every single song. Her lyrics and vocals have improved tremendously. This is Carrie's best album of her career so far!
-
Oct 23, 2015Storyteller is Underwood's greatest piece to date, hands down. Starts off strong with Renegade Runaway and finishes perfectly with her most personal track of her career with What I Never Knew I Always Wanted. This album left me wanting more - AMAZING.
-
Oct 23, 2015I've watched Carrie mature from the awkward "farmbot" at her AI audition to the polished performer she is today and Story Teller is the culmination of everything she has thus far achieved in her ten year career. Excellent album...5 stars.
-
Oct 23, 2015A must buy! Great to have Carrie back. This is her best album to date. Vocals once again spot on. She has ventured out of her comfort zone and it has paid off. This album will bring at least 5 #1 singles.
-
Oct 23, 2015Storyteller is definitely carrie's best album released to date. The melody, lyrics, phrasing, vocal and style is a complete perfect combo and you won't regret listening to it! With 13 chapters of story inside, you can get anything you want from uptempo country rock to sassy with attitude or soft and tender love song! God bless and thank you carrie!

Oct 23, 2015This is Carrie's best album to date. the songs are cohesive and the experimentation on the production, content and the musical progression are just awesome. There are no filler songs too since every song can stand on its own, as reflected by the fact that people have different favorites. I love Choctaw Country Affair, Relapse, Heartbeat, Smoke Break, Church Bells, Chaser.... I love all the songs.
-
Oct 23, 2015This album is such a different approach for Carrie...and that's a GOOD thing. Every song is at the minimum very good, and the production is flawless on each. It'll be difficult to pick the best radio singles because there are at least 7 songs that I can see doing well on radio. Great effort from Carrie, and it was worth the 3.5 year wait.
-
Oct 23, 2015This album is revolutionary not only for Carrie Underwood, but country music in general. This album marks a pivotal point in Mrs. Underwood's career, as her sound takes on a new, exciting direction and her lyrics evolve and tell the most captivating stories. If you're looking for filler tracks, you won't find them here. This will be a record that will be praised and remembered years from now.
-
Oct 23, 2015Absolutely the best album of Carrie Underwood's career. Everything about it is amazing, she did a remarkable job. Awesome production, great melodies, inspiring and crafty lyrics. A joy to listen to.
-
Oct 23, 2015This album may be TOO good for these times in music. There is not a single song I dislike, and that's saying something because I'm a picky person and I've always had a few songs I dislike on her previous albums. If I could give this more than 10/10 I would. Everything from the production to the lyrics are amazing and game-changing.

Oct 23, 2015Wow this album is fantastic! This is Carrie best album she has put out by miles. She only gets better each album. There is not one song that I would skip.
-
Oct 23, 2015Exquisitely crafted, brilliantly executed. Calling the production flawless is saying too little. Calling the lyrics elegantly interwoven is saying too little. Calling the vocals unmistakably audacious is saying too little. Calling this album the best work of Carrie's career is not saying enough.

Oct 23, 2015This is obviously Carrie's weakest album to date .... Ms. Underwood is still preoccupied with power, not texture or finesse. She largely picks songs that serve as launch platforms for her ballistic-missile screaming sometimes voice, but they don’t cohere into an album.
-
Oct 23, 2015Of all the albums Carrie has made so far. This is her worst album to date. There is not 1 hit song on this album I am sorry to say and I expected. ( I was hoping for much better )
-
Oct 23, 2015Storyteller was a waste of my time. I want the old Carrie Underwood back. These new songs were just cookie cutter garbage. Carrie should have taken more time and made a better album.
-
Oct 23, 2015This album is Carrie Underwoods best yet. She has grown better each album. Her vocals are outstanding. Looking forward to watching and hearing her in the years to come.
-
Oct 23, 2015This album is hands down her best EVER.
Every song has its strong individuality. Some songs such as Renegade Runaway, Church Bells, Chaser and Relapse are smashes. Choctaw County Affair is perfect.
She manages to give them life with her incredible voice.
So excited for this album! -
Oct 23, 2015Why does Carrie have to scream every song she sings now? This album lacks a hit country song and sounds more like a Broadway play then a country album.
-
Oct 23, 2015This is Carrie worst album ever. She sings with no emotion and the songs themselves are just weak. Carrie played it too safe if you ask me and did not try to evolve her music style.

Nov 18, 2015Carrie’s never been in better voice, but a little more control in the production would have served her well.
-
Nov 3, 2015That’s Storyteller as a whole: expertly arranged, dense without overwhelming the force of its captain.
-
Oct 23, 2015As with much high-gloss, high-compression pop, the heavy-handed production gets fatiguing after a while, even when Underwood transcends it (see the corny yet undeniable letter to Daddy "The Girl You Think I Am").
