Underwood’s third album runs the country gamut, from the telethon-ready “Change” to the sweet spite of “Songs Like This,” which feels purposefully reminiscent of “Before He Cheats.” The “American Idol” champ has proven her vocal prowess on live TV and found an audience for her twangy tales via multi-platinum success. But the third time is not exactly a charm, as Underwood’s vocal talent is undermined by lyrics that are almost unbearably simplistic and sappy. Download: “This Time.”
