Mariah Carey Music Box
To find Mariah Carey at her most innocent best you have to come to this album. To me it defines what she once was before she started wearing almost nothing and having the likes Puff Daddy all over her music. Songs like “hero” “Without You” and “Anytime you need a friend” are as good as she gets. Maybe today Mariah Carey is re living her youth after splitting up from her husband
to me this is the onlyb decent album she has ...

Advantages: A very good album Disadvantages: Only 11 tracks
Mariah Carey may not be a very nice person (or at least this the impression I have been given), but she does have one very brilliant voice doesn't she?!?!
Her fourth album 'Music Box' is very good. It has sadly only eleven tracks, but those eleven tracks are of very excellent quality. The album includes hits such as: "Dreamlover", "Hero", "Anytime You Need A friend", and "Without You".
The eleventh track is supposedly a bonus track, just as ...

Her Best Album Review ofMusic Box - Mariah Careyby
zwiggy
Advantages: Disadvantages:
If big, soppy ballads are your kind of thing, look no further than this album. “Schmaltzy garbage” is how Mariah herself describes the slow songs on this, and frankly, who can disagree with her? But back when she was married to Sony boss Tommy Mottola, nobody could do schmaltzy garbage like Mariah Carey. Her hyperactive tonsils positively soar, and if you’re in the mood for love songs, this is right up your street. Mariah made a huge mistake with ...

Out of all her albums, this would have to be the most memorable one with hits such as 'Dream Lover', 'Hero', 'Anytime you need a friend', 'Never forget You' and 'Without You' just to name a few.
Mariah has a lovely voice and you really have to be in the 'mood' to listen to her powerfully emotional songs, if you are in the emotional mood you can expect tears!
I must say that after getting her recent album 'Butterfly', 'Music Box' is still the ...

Music Box Review ofMusic Box - Mariah Careyby
Orinoco
Advantages: Disadvantages:
This is from the time when Mariah Carey used to make good music, looked good and could open her mouth and string together a sentence without sounding like a brainless bimbo. The best songs on this album are the ballads like the title track and songs like ‘Anytime you need a friend’. The faster songs are really dreadful but as there aren’t many of them this doesn’t really spoil the overall effect of the album. This is a good album but the screechy ...

...was never an album like music box it still stands out as a masterpiece in my huge collection. i have heard this recording about 500 times in the years i have had it and always keep a copy with me no matter where i go. it's ironic that she sings with westlife now because there album has become the only other album to her in 7+ years, im that picky. i hope with this new song style for her that she will make an album similiar to music box and that you ...

Advantages: ideal for romantic evenings, weddings and when you are low Disadvantages: sets you up for disappointment when you go on to listen to her latest offerings
...they thought of Mariah's music as poppy r 'n' b and did not realise what an exceptional voice she had early in her life. the lyrics conjure up a number of times in my life when things were either fantastic or miserable, which sums up this album. i play it when in love or when alone or dumped.
there are 10 songs on the album:
Dreamlover
Hero
Anytime You Need A Friend
Music Box
Now That I Know
Never Forget You
Without You
Just To Hold You ...
