This album rocked my expectations. We've all heard Amber's slew of dance crazy anthems, every compilation a year or two ago had one or another. She was inescapable. And her lyrics seemed very trite.

Amber has...well, grown up. It seems that way, at least. She still talks about love and loss, but who doesn't? Her music is less remixable, even though people will do it anyway. Her titles are a bit more mature, and her themes are as well. The music is darker, and more enlightening. It showcases her softer voice perfectly. I love this album.

The highlights are You move Me, Sacrificial Lamb, Private War...

Really listen to everything, it's great.

She lost a star for the lyrical monotony though. While the themes and lyrics are matured and interesting, you kinda get tired of hearing how she's been screwed over by men. Oh well, can't have it all. Still a GREAT album!

I DONT CARE THAT AMBER'S NEW ALBUM IS NOT DANCE ORIENTED--THAT'S WHAT REMIXES ARE FOR. THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL SONGS HERE. AND AMBER'S VOCALS HAVE NEVER SOUNDED BETTER.

I bought this album yesterday after checking out Amber's official website and learning the album came out. Before signing off, I noticed all the 1-star reviews. While this did not turn me off to the buying the album, it did prepare me for something different. I was amazed when I heard it.

The album really is different. It may have to grow on fans expecting another Naked album. It's very toned down from her previous works. There is a bigger emphasis on vocal quality (which, I must say, is incredible) and on ballads. That's not to say there aren't upbeat songs on there, but you won't find anything similar to "Sexual" or "The Need To Be Naked".

The album's first single, "You Move Me", is a great song, although it doesn't represent the album too well. My favorites on there are "Same Old Paradise", "More Time For A Child" (really a brilliant song!), "Private War", "Don't Follow Me Home" and what I think should be the next single, "Just Like That (Romeo and Juliet)".

As an artist, Amber has shown tremendous growth with this record. Her Naked album was a mixture of signature fierce dance beats with more mid-tempo, lyrical tracks. My Kind of World takes those slower tracks to the next level, and it works wonderfully!

Well, I have listened to the album and I must say that without a doubt it is fierce! (AKA a great CD) It has so many different sounds that you can't help but love it. After listening a few times I AM really enjoying the album-Amber's Voice, The Lyrics, and The Music! My favorite song (and I hope this is the next single!!!) is Sacrafical Lamb!!! Is is a strong song with great lyrics, great intruments, and overall one of the best songs on the album. My next 2 favorites songs are Private War and Just Like that. Both songs are produced very well and are special in there own right!! I keep listening to Just Like That, Just Like That! It is Catcy and a GREAT song. (I would also nominate this for single consideration as well.) Following those 2 songs I like Crucified Solitude, Voodoo, and Same Old Paradise. These are the 6 songs I am really into right now!

As I think about Amber's past 2 albums, Naked and Amber, I honesty never was into her singing anything slower than her normal dancee songs, but on this album I do enjoy the singing with the slower music/tempo; it really does work and I am happy she went in this direction!!!!

This Album is different so you have to listen to it a couple times; its not prepackaged garbage, it is true music!

I have been a fan of Amber's for many years and have bought most of her albums, but I was disappointed with the outcome of this album. I know artist grow with their music, but she strayed too far off course for me with the material on this album. I was at FYE and had the CD in my hand to purchase it but decided to listen to the songs since I could listen to the entire album @ FYE, however after listening to the CD, I simply put the CD back on the rack. I am still a fan of her music and enjoy reading her posts on her website, but I will wait for the next album.
