But now for the album!
After quite a lot was promised me from all sides that this album is better than Confessions and his was the best ever, my expectations were very high. In my opinion, this album is not better than "Confessions", "Here I Stand" or "8701". The Slow Jams keep the album highly, and were also the reason that I had to think a long time whether I give the album 3 or 4 stars. The Slow Jams on this album are very strong and "Mars vs. Venus" is for me the highlight of the album! But the up-tempo songs (at the Usher eigendlich always a bank) go for me too much in this mainstream area where unfortunately too many good artists have landed (eg Neyo). "She do not know" is still the best among the uptempo songs, and I would have liked more of this variety. But the best example is "Hey Daddy", this song could have been 50 other singers so mainstream it is and "OMG" was created by Will-i-am produzeirt of which I no longer believe a lot since the last Black Eyed Peas album ( any more than by the band). Unfortunately, the genre RnB goes too far in the POP area and no longer has much to do with "Rythem and Blues". What is the features Ludacris As the only one who convinced me on this album.
Conclusion:
The album is a good album, but never his best album, and no better than his last three albums (fairly weak). But it is the trial heard quite value and then everyone must decide anyway. There are probably many who are celebrating this album more than I and many Usher fans who will read this Rezi and probably want to tear my head off.
But I am honest and have to say that I am celebrating the last three albums still more than Raymond vs. Raymond.
That's why 3 stars !!!
