The idea of five different "dolls" making up the "posse" that perform the 23 songs on this album may make a lot of people skittish, and is definitely contrieved and unnecessary to the ultimate enjoyment of the album, it doesn't come across as a mere gimmick either.
Not everything here completely clicks, and there are a few questionable songs (but when you fill 79 minutes of a disc, and have a total of 23 songs, is it possible to be completely flawless?) But everything considered, this may be the rockingest and most immediately satisfying listen in her entire catalog.
