5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, top notch production, songs and singing!, May 15, 1999
By A Customer
I've never been a huge fan of country music. But I remember the first time i heard "you're still the one" i went crazy. The song is completely moving. A couple weeks went by and i was flipping thru the T.V. and heard "That don't impress me much". I told my wife, hey now there are 2 different singers (country) that I like. When the video ended it said it was Shania Twain. I was absolutely floored. A couple weeks later I was listening to a pop station and heard "from this moment". I didn't know who did it, when I found out it was Shania I finally decided to go get the CD. This album is full of great rock, country and pop. Shania has a very tasteful voice and Mutt Lange is one over the top producer. If you like variety in your music you gotta pick this up. She pulls of a Bonnie Raitt style tune with "If you wanna touch her ask" and you can hear a Blondie influence on "When". She pulls out some great southern rock meets bryan adams on "Whatever you do! don't!". The vocal melodies on this album are the best i've heard in a long time. Shania can take a pop tune "From this moment" and pull off a Mariah with ease and quite a bit more style. If you buy one CD this year, make it this one! there isn't a bad song on this album.

Not very country, but good provocative pop, June 28, 2002
I like country and I like the real country, Dolly, Loretta, Tammy, etc. But I like good adult contemporary music too. This is just to let you know where I'm coming from. Country purists won't care for this. But those who don't mind crossover which leans much more to a rather seductive pop sound than traditional country will go for it. For my money, "From This Moment On" is one of the most beautiful love songs ever. It has a delicacy, and yet a powerful emotional build-up. Then there's the upbeat "Man,I Feel Like a Woman!" Nothing subtle here! "You're Still The One" has the beat, the energy, but not the annoying loudness that a certain other pop/country singer overdoes. "That Don't Impress Me Much" is a bit more country than some of these that have received a lot of radio play. And "Rock This Country" speaks for itself. If you like Shania, you should really like this CD. If you don't, well, that's the way it goes.

Cheerful Pop Girl Power., January 12, 2007
This is both a good & different album than any other Country based music I've heard. Probably because it really isn't Country? After several listenings, I came to the conclusion that this was 70% Pop, 20% Country, & 10% Disco. I'll leave that debate to those more familiar with those genre's. This was a very lively, even optimistic group of songs. Shania's voice was better with the faster songs.
These are the ones I thought were done the best. "When," the only cynical tune on a cheerful album. It is a "yea right," tune that felt like it did not belong. Perhaps, thats why it stuck out? "From This Moment," certainly a smooth love ballad if there ever was one. Shania sang this from the heart, & it came through exquisitely. "Man I Feel Like A Woman," a feel good girl song with drums, electric guitar, & some mild fiddles. "Love Gets Me Everytime," more of a traditional love song with single girl meeting a guy & falling in love, with a fast tempo. "Come On Over," strong Accordion with one friend comforting another. "Your Still The One," probably her biggest hit? A smoothly done slow tempo tune about a couple who proved the naysayers wrong by staying together.
