Why 4 versions instead of 1 fantastic?,
By Music lover "tom" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Element of Freedom: Deluxe Edition (Incl. Bonus Tracks + Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)
The Element of Freedom is a great album. In fact, next to Songs in A Minor, it could be the best work she's created to-date.It takes several listens before you can fully appreciate it. There is a wide variety of styles and tempos that will appeal to a broader audience. I expect "Distance and Time" as well as "Empire State of Mind Part II" to become the next singles off the album.
Previous reviewers have done an excellent job describing each tracks etc. My review is mainly on this one point. Why 4 different versions?? Version 1: Standard 14 tracks. Version 2: The Deluxe Edition 16 tracks including the bonus "Through It All" and the heart warming, "Pray for Forgiveness" Also included is a second DVD disc that features 4 live acoustic tracks and the video for Doesn't Mean Anything. Listening to these tracks makes me wish I could have them as audio ones as well. Alicia does a completely different take on them. Version 3: Standard 14 tracks plus "Stolen Moment's" and "Heaven's door" You can ONLY buy this version at Target or as an expensive Japanese import. Version 4: EMPIRE EDITION - Available only to U.S. customers (so as a Canadian fan I have no chance of ever buying it) via Alicia's website. It has 2 cds. The first is the standard 14 tracks. The second is a 7 song ep with "Lover Man" ( a fantastic song that is a good as any of her hit singles)and "Almost there" along with 5 other live songs like "No One"and "Karma" I love Alicia, I don't want to illegally rip these tracks from the net. Why can't SONY and other record companies listen to true fans and create a better product? Sad thing is that I've even emailed Sony records to no avail. If only I could write to Alicia herself?!! This cd would have hit number 1 on Billboard if it included all these bonus tracks on the second cd along with the live dvd performances. In this day of sagging cd sales, and consumers having to be more careful how they spend their hard earned money, why not make a product that has songs, videos, exclusives all in one?

A Masterpiece!,

This review is from: Element of Freedom: Deluxe Edition (Incl. Bonus Tracks + Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)
I think this is Alicia's masterpiece album. When I first started listening to each song on this album, every song moved me. This album, more than any other, got to my soul. The music, lyrics, and rhythms really moved me! I was also pleased with the added bonus tracks on this edition and the dvd video of her in-studio performances. The 2 bonus songs really put the final touches on this great album!

This review is from: Element of Freedom: Deluxe Edition (Incl. Bonus Tracks + Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)
I love that her style includes many types of songs that don't sound the same through the entire CD. I can turn it on and walk away knowing I will enjoy all the songs on the album.
