    31 Minutes' breezy B-boy anthems may keep the man of the half hour around well past Labor Day.

    Think Justin Timberlake's less-talented cousin, or Andy Samberg.

    Mike Posner is at the head of a new genre: frat-house R&B.
  4. The New York Times

    He toggles between petulant cad ("Gone in September") and wounded child ("Save Your Goodbye"), convincing at neither. He has a grating voice, heavily nasal, with a seeming inability to wrap his lips around all of the necessary syllables, meaning that even when he's at his angriest, he sounds as if he's holding back.

    This album may be all beer pong, but the album has skilled lyrics, and definately deserves some sort of standing ovation. My favorites include the second promo single "Please Don't Go", the skilled remake "Bow Chicka Wow Wow", If you're the kind of person who just loves and leaves, pick "Gone In September", and the pop potential hit "Cheated". However "Delta 1406", "Falling", and "Deja Vu" just leaves with disappointment. Though Posner may have flaws, mini-Timberlake is gonna score big with his catchy anthems filled with pure excitement.… Expand
