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

    Posner's B-boy sound may be derivative as hell, but the album stands to turn him into the latest DIY sensation.
  3. Rolling Stone

    Mike Posner is at the head of a new genre: frat-house R&B.
  5. Boston Globe

    This short, lightweight disc finds Posner evolving from his hip-hop leaning early mixtapes into a nasal-voiced talk-singer with some serious woman issues. Mostly, though (unlike, say, Kid Cudi), his lyrics barely scratch the surface of real emotions.

    This album may be all beer pong, but the album has skilled lyrics, and definately deserves some sort of standing ovation. My favorites includeThis 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.… Full Review »

    What the **** even is this? It's like a terrible half rap album. Mike can't rap. The lyrics on this sound like he thinks he's a self help guru. Where "I Took A Pill in Ibiza" seemed like a guy struggling with success and wrestling with what it meant in a very identifiable way, this feels self indulgent. Like when a dude gets too much money and too much fame and gets too removed from real life and starts to think they're a guru.

    Also, man are the voicemails from celebrities kissing his ass is really weird. Hopefully he finds his footing again this is garbage.    … Full Review »
