 Gotta say, I'm actually very impressed!! May 4, 2009

I have to admit, I haven't been Ciara's biggest fan up to this point. She has has some great singles but her albums have been a bit lacking overall, until now that is! This album is full to the brim of energy, sensuality and quality. It is not only her most solid album to date but one of the most solid albums out at the moment. With production from the likes of Ticky Stewart, Justin Timberlake, Danja, Darkchild, Ne-Yo, Polow Da Don and Dr. Luke it's hard to see what could go wrong. Vocally this is definately Ciara's strongest performance thus far also just to put some icing on the cake.
br /Lately a lot of songs which have been labelled 'club bangers' have been a bit flat in terms of energy but the club bangers here areso full of energy it practically jumps out of the speakers at you. The Danja produced duets with Missy Elliott Chris Brown are raw energy from start to finish with fairly impressive dance breakdowns aswell. Lead single 'Love Sex Magic' shows off the albums funkier side with Timberlakes other cut 'G Is For Girl' bringing the clever lyrics. Ne-Yo and Tricky Stewart bring the softer, more sensual cuts to the album such as 'Lover's Thing' 'Ciara To The Stage' and 'Keep Dancin' On Me' Slow songs have the potential to be a bit boring but these are far from it, keeping you engaged from start to finish!!
br /In all, it's an album which is very difficult to fault. Ciara has clearly worked hard to put out a killer album and she has achieved that perfectly. The only drawback I can see would be for fans of the promo single 'Go Girl ft. T-Pain' which ultimately did'nt make the cut on the final tracklist. This really is a fantastic record and with Keri Hilson released the same week and Letoya's new record on the way there is competition but this record definately blows them all out of the water, don't miss out on one of the best albums of 2009 so far!!!

There are various things about this album which make it great, firstly the concept, there was a moderate amount of confusion concerning this but upon it's release it turned out to be a standard one disk album. The concept is inspired by comic books which is reflected in the album art, it also introduces Ciara's alter ego/ comic book character 'Super C'.
br /
br /The jury is out on the tracks themselves as after hearing the whole album a few times over, I really cannot pick a single song that I don't like, meaning I am not skipping tracks. Predictably they follow Ciara's trademark crunk, hip-hop RB style but with more of an added disco flavour. 'Fantasy Ride' includes six collaborations with credible artists such as the likes of Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot, The-Dream, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy Ludacris.
br /
br /Overall a brilliant cohesion of concept, album art tracks. In my opinion a quality album highly recommended for fans of Ciara and this genre in general.
I preferred the American artwork May 5, 2009

Being a big fan of Ciara meant that for me personally this album was worth the wait. Her previous albums haven't done greatly in the charts but this time should be different. The initial first single changed from go girl (didn't make the album) , High Price (not a single) and Love Sex and Magic, which is one of her biggest singles to date.This album is brill and is one fantasy ride from start to finish

br /A great album but there are 2 major flaws: firstly the album artwork is poor in comparison to the American one with Super C and secondly where are the bonus songs. This album should have included the tunes such as I'm On and When I
One word--WOW!!! May 6, 2009

I didn't think Ciara could beat Evolution, but oh boy she came back HARD with Fantasy Ride. Ciara is now my favorite artist, and that's out of a LOT, solely due to this album. And this is because there is not a single track that I didn't like; and it was that immediate love of the music, you don't have to listen a few times before you like it-you LOVE it immediately. Seriously, you will not be disappointed it is absolutely fantastic I'm struggling to actually describe it, I was so pleased. If you haven't been a very big fan, but think she's alright..trust me, buy this album and you'll change your mind I gurantee you. In my opinion out of 10 the songs break down like this:
br /Ciara to the Stage-10/10-HOT track, really sexy RB beat, excellent catchy lyrics and great way to introduce you to the new Super C.
br /Love Sex Magic-9/10-We all know how hot this track is cuz it's played non-stop on the radio, however it's not my fave on the album by a long shot.
br /High Price-10/10-Her high-pitched vocals really make this track amazing, she's bein so dramatic and I love it, it's very unique.
br /Turntables-9/10-Again, very catchy track, the chorus will be stuck in your head..however lost a point because I don't like Chris Brown at all. But Ciara killed it.
br /Like a Surgeon-10/10-WOW..this should be her next single!! The lyrics are really sexy and playful and the beat and vocal production is ON POINT.
br /Never Ever-10/10-I loved Never Ever and I'm really disappointed it failed to chart here in the UK, and I don't think it did particularly well in the U.S. either, I love the "If that boy don't love you by now.." it's really catchy, as are the bridges-my favorite bit.
br /Lover's Thing-9/10-Very sexy, smooth RB track that's been stuck in my head for ages--not my favorite track but it's still BOMB.
br /Work-10/10!!!-If you don't know, Ciara's infamous WORK track should have been a single too! It's classic Ciara, similar to Get Up but even better.
br /Pucker Up-10/10!-Again, this is chart-worthy, possibly my favorite track on the album (it's hard to decide), basically she's addressing the haters and doubters (people thought she would flop because she kept pushin back the album release date...boy they were wrong) and that they can KISS HER SWAG..this track is unmissable.
br /G is for Girl-10/10-AWESOME track, she really gets into this song and it's extremely catchy.
br /Keep Dancin on Me-10/10-Again a smooth sexy rb tune, really sensual and she sings it in a really catchy way..love it.
br /Tell Me What Your Name Is-9/10-Love this track, it's really beautiful..i only deduct one point because she has you on such a hype with her fast tracks, when she slows the pace..it's like just gimme more of the club-bangers! But it's a hot track.
br /I Don't Remember-8/10-This is the only track that I"m not really feelin. It's literally the only song on the album that I thought 'yawn' but it's still really nice, just doesn't meet the standard she has set with the songs before it.
br /Echo-10/10!!!!-I feel sorry for the U.S. not getting this on their CD!!! It raises that bar again to finish the album by going into classic Ciara--HOT beat and catchy vocals...buy this album ladies gents..it's my favorite album in my whole CD collection now.
br /Album as a whole-1000000/10 :P

SUPER C HAS ACCOMPLISHED HER MISSION. May 6, 2009
Mr. N. Hinton (Anywhere (we keep getting posted around by the army))
Ciara, as we all know it, has been quite a boring artist.
br /She has always stuck with the same RnB beats, and the sugary effortless ballads that sometimes want to make you fall asleep, with one or two being half decent. But that was Ciara.
br /
br /This Is Super C!
br /
br /Super C is the new Ciara and may a say what a relief it is! With stunning concept and artwork and great music, this album has to be one of the most promising albums this year and blows her previous two out the water...completely!
br /You do have to be warned, that the album is shared equally, with seven ballads and seven extrordinarily crazy uptempo songs! The only song i am not to keen on has to be 'Lovers Thing',a RnB ballad, i dont really get it like the others...
br /
br /The album is also pure pop and some electro with the ballads being soft RnB, apart from Never Ever being pop. The artwork is pure genius, full of colour and imagination representing SuperC as most probably the most stylish and incredible made up hero this century, I can imagine her in Watchmen actually...
br /
br /But if your looking for a different but fun album, buy this. And Lady GaGa, The Fame, its the best album, ever.
br /
br /Oh, and also, this is for the reviewer who complained about the American artwork cover being different from ours. The album cover has two covers and on the back of the booklet there is the american artwork, which you can use as a cover!I prefer that one awell!!!
