The Herald Angels Sing', 'The First Noel', 'What Child Is This', 'Do You Hear What I Hear' and 'O Holy Night'. Carnival Ride is the follow-up to her debut CD, Some Hearts, which has been certified sextuple platinum by the RIAA for shipments of more than six million copies. Carnival Ride gets its title from the lyrics of one of the new songs she has recorded. "You step onto this ride called life, and it's a crazy thing you don't know anything about, but you get on it anyway," the American Idol winner said. "You do what you can to lean different directions to try and get it to go where you want it to go, but you can't stop it -- it just keeps moving. That's why Carnival Ride works as my album title. It describes the wonderful craziness that I've been through over the past couple years." Sony/BMG. | | | |

 More Rock Than Country Aug 07, 2010
This is more of a rock CD than country to me. The beats and lyrics both reflect this. Her voice is country enough, but she seems to pick songs that don't work with it. I think "Last Name" is the best example of this. The only songs I liked from this album were "Just a Dream" and "Crazy Dreams Come True."
Excellent! Jul 20, 2010
The cd was excellent, and all the tracks were amazing. ALot of hit songs, and you never get sick of listening to this cd. Its awesome.

Hey, It's Carrie Underwood. She certainly knows how to sing. Good music to listen to.

 Not all that Jun 06, 2010
Carrie Underwood suffers from the same thing that many talented pop singers suffer from, she doesn't write her own material and her singing comes across as extremely unconvincing. While she may have written four songs on Carnival Ride, it doesn't seem to matter or show. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that when she brought her four songs to the studio, the producer took a look at them and refashioned them into something he thought would sell records, thereby losing her original take on them, if there was one.
Carnival Ride starts off well. "Flat on the Floor" is a solid rocker, barely a country song, that tells a typical country song story. It's the most solid song on the album. Things go down hill from there. "All American Girl" has potential, but seems lost in her delivery, cute as it is, and sloppy production. "Last Name" is a cute little ditty about a girl too drunk to know she got married and now doesn't know what her last name is. It's a clever song, but it is so typical of a typical country song that it loses its cleverness, very much like Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places." After awhile, all of the songs on this sophomore effort begin to sound too much like each other, blending into a pot of so what soup.
Carrie Underwood sings well, and I'm sure her parents are proud of her, but her voice is tinny and needs some bottom to it. An entire album of a strained voice that is desperate to sound like somebody else gets weary before album's end. I'm not sure if Carrie Underwood is capable of making a great album, but we never know; she'll probably need to do some real suffering before she'll be able to be convincing. She needs to make an album with a producer who can do something with the limited talent that she has. I'd recommend T-Bone Burnett.
Truly great and original female country singers are rare. Most them seem hung up on emulating singers who do the same thing, copy each others' style. The last one I heard that convinced me is Lucinda Williams, who writes songs and sings them as if she lived them. I don't get that from Carrie Underwood. Instead, what I hear from Carrie is typical Nashville slop, the same old routine, the same old safe bet, clever, corny love songs with absolutely no depth delivered by someone who can sing as narrowly and well as a talent contest winner. An album that surprises is much better than an album that yawns.
