Described by Cyrus as a "good [record] to blast in your car", Can't Be Tamed represents a musical departure from her earlier work, which she had grown to feel uninspired by. As executive producers, Tish Cyrus and Jason Morey enlisted partners including Devrim Karaoglu, Marek Pompetzki, Rock Mafia, and John Shanks to achieve Cyrus' desired new sound." (summarised well in the lead) Major Point 2: Release and artwork "Described by Cyrus as a "good [record] to blast in your car"" (not a concise summary of the corresponding section in the body) Major Point 3: Composition "Their efforts resulted in a primarily dance-pop record, with lyrical themes that revolve largely around breaking free of constraints and expectations."

Its title track "Can't Be Tamed" was released on May 14, 2010, and peaked at number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and performed moderately worldwide. Follow-up single "Who Owns My Heart" was only released in selected European countries, failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and charting poorly on European singles charts. Promotional efforts for Can't Be Tamed began to associate Cyrus with an increasingly provocative image, an effort continued with her fourth studio album Bangerz (2013). The record was primarily promoted through a series of television appearances and Cyrus' headlining Gypsy Heart Tour in 2011." (summarised well in the lead) Major Point 5: Critical reception "Upon its release, Can't Be Tamed received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards perceived lack of musical focus and Cyrus' maturing public image."

I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

• I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. WikiRedactor, please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 03:33, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I've added some more information to the introduction that I think does a better job of summarizing the article than the previous version. Thanks so much for your review! WikiRedactor (talk) 20:34, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
