My favorite song is still "Bombs Away", lush you can probably initiate an album barely. This track bombing a literally off or leaves an at least speechless because this power has become a rarity in the often unimaginative range of the music industry, to the hip-hop genre occupies today. The mix of strings, choral singing, short synth sequences, a bursting Beat and Simmons unique flow is legendary and makes immediate mood for more.
However, with the next song comes not disappointment, but the same as the next big hit: "Ray Bands" lets the whole though something quieter, the opener is at its casual style but in no way inferior to - completely different but just as good.
With "So Hard To Breathe", "Both Of Us" and "So Good" three more successful rock and pop numbers are still offered with sophisticated Rappassagen and the party track "Strange Clouds" with the "Man on the Moon" white to convince.
Most of the following songs is me then but too soft a bit, especially "Circles", "Just A Sign" and "Castles" in my opinion simply lacks power and innovation. For the patient listener will be rewarded in the end even with the autobiographical "Where Are You" in which Bobby Ray schlidert his daily problems with the celebrity existence of several views - even if the building is reminiscent celebrated on Eminem's hit "Stan".
Overall, an album that is fun and the excitement can climb Simmons next trick - because good as it gets eventually always.
