    His lyrics are vacuous as ever, but those hooks sure are sticky.

    He essays a few fashionably global-sounding electro-club tracks, including an Auto-Tuned one with T-Pain and Akon, and at least four numbers where he swipes guys' girlfriends. Keri Hilson and Kelly Rowland help him stretch out; Plies, Yo Gotti and T.I. add muscle

    Much like Brass Knuckles before it, 5.0 might just be another forgettable release from the St. Lunatic.

    A great comeback for Nelly. This album is on the same level as Sweat and Suit, with some of the best racks he's put out in years. Though there are a few disappointments such as "I'm Number 1", and the half sung "Long Gone", other tracks more than redeem the album such as "Go", "Making Movies", and of course "Just A Dream." One track that stood out in particular is Nelly's "Gone", featuring Kelly Rowland. This song brings back memories from the classic "Dilemma." Overall, this is a classic and distinct album that marks the return of Nelly. A definite buy.… Expand
