Editorial Review: Album Description: Includes A Bonus Track. Amazon.com: Linda Ronstadt was America's sweetheart of the '70s, because she was able to combine a pretty face, a pretty voice and a safe personality. Her songs might be full of big notes and high emotions, but they satisfied every predictable expectation of a love ballad or good-time rocker. Mariah Carey is America's sweetheart of the '90s for the exact same reasons. Music Box topped the Billboard album charts, yielding number-one singles like "Dreamlover" and "Hero." The titles, one a hollow Minnie Riperton knock-off and the other a stiff Barbra Streisand imitation, are tip-offs to Carey's reliance on untethered fantasy (she's the fantasizer in the lyrics and the fantasy object in the videos). These songs, coªwritten and co-produced like most of the album by Walter Anasieff and Carey herself, are constructed to show off her dizzying soprano, not to provide an original approach to a well-worn subject. Even when she gets a strong ballad to sing, like her current singles--Babyface's "Never Forget You" or Badfinger/Nilsson's "Without You"--she overdoes the self-pity bit so much that the song loses its dramatic tension. --Geoffrey Himes Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - beautiful1993 was a really good year. With janet. and Toni Braxton releasing their great albums. I was only 5 and starting school and meeting my best friend around this album came out. The only two songs I remember from this album were Hero and Dreamlover which were two of her biggest hits back then. The album was mostly comprised of ballads with a few dance tracks, but I didn't find this album to be boring. I find it to be a beautiful masterpiece. I love all of the songs on this album. I could relate to nearly all the songs and they have been inspiring. so let's start out with the tracks, shall we? 1. Dreamlover-i remember watching the video where she was in the cornfields. it was a great summer song to start off the album with. 5/5 Read More: Rating:  - Music BoxWith each new Mariah release, I tend to go back to her earlier albums and listen to them again and this time I selected MUSIC BOX. Honestly this was never one of my favorite albums and I didn't actually purchase it until about a year or two AFTER I'd purchased BUTTERFLY. It is a good, well constructed album that perfectly symbolizes where Mariah stood career-wise at that time. According to her accounts today, she was micro-managed and only allowed to produce songs that appealed more to the adult contemporary market yet I believe this album remains her biggest seller to date primarily due to the touching ballads and her heartfelt delivery of the songs. Listening to it today, I still love the songs that I loved "back ...

But she proved naysayers wrong by releasing this album, which remains the most successful album of her career. While nowadays her lyrics are more expressive of her feelings, at this time she used her vocals to show where her mindset was. Here she doesn't seem to use either, and for the only time thus far, Mariah Carey released material that sounds a lot like going through the motions. To date, this is probably her most impersonal album. That being said, the material on here is top notch. Her two big hits (which still remain two of the biggest hits of her career), "Dreamlover" and "Hero," represent her seemingly effortless ... Read More: Rating: - Excellent albumI love this album and great vocals. Great songs especially Anytime you need a friend. Mariha's voice sounds amazing, too bad she has been loosing it ever since. Rating: - One of Mariah's Greatest Albums Ever"Music Box" would have to be one of Mariah's greatest albums ever (in my personal opinion, that is.) Here's a review of the songs from this delightful album. 1.) Dreamlover: Such a cool song. It's so upbeat and fun to sing along to. 2.) Hero: A beautiful ballad talking about how there's a "hero" in all of us. 3.) Anytime You Need a Friend: This is a wonderful uplifting song. 4.) Music Box: A sweet ballad with the music played like a music box. 5.) Now That I Know: A good upbeat song that's fun to dance along to. 6.) Never Forget You: One of my favorite Mariah ballads. She talks about how she'll never forget her love. So sweet! 7.) Without You: A great beautiful version of this song originally sung by Nillson. ... Read More: |
