    Nothing mind blowing, some tracks better than others, but overall I dig it. It's a much different flavor than previous albums and Kellz pulls it off. This guy could sing about takin a shit and it would sound good. R. Kelly is awesome.

    i give this album an 8 some songs are good like the duet with usher and of course the hit im a flirt.I think his lyrics are explicit though.He is still most talented male singer in the world.He has been around for years and he still fits well into the music industry of today.I will say his best to date is still 12 play.The album double up i s not that bad .There are some good songs on the album even apart from his duet with usher.the ludacris duet is very good.we all need to agree that R-kelly is very versatile and talented.That is why everyone wants to work with him.… Expand

    I give this album a 10 for the line "Girl, I got you so wet it's like a rainforest, like Jurassic Park, but I'm your sexasaurus." GENIUS.

    Great album to ride to. Beats are booming and Kels brings the freaky lyrics. if you plan on writing your thesis paper on complicated, socially uplifting lyrics then you may want to listen to something else. If you just want to hear good sexual music this is it.

    This is plain horrible. who wants to know if he's a flirt? who cares that he's looking for good sex? could someone please chop him from their recording label, so that it would be one less untalented artist for radio stations and music channels to play.

    R.Kelly is undeniably the king of R&B. Every album he releases changes the genre and moves it up a notch to amazing levels!! A genius is defined by making his own styles, for example, songs like "real talk", "best friend" and "same girl" are just classical. These songs makes you feel like you're watching a highly addictive drama. In one track his breaking up with his 'naive'; girlfriend, the next (with Usher) he finds out they've been seeing the same girl. The "best friend" cut (featuring Keyshia Cole & Polow da don) he is in prison and his wife and friend come to visit, where he realizes his friend is wearing the shirt his wife had bought him. The way it's sung is just amazing, makes you actually see the situation. Kellz is absolutely the king of R&B without a doubt. Stand out tracks (with those 3); Leave your name, Sweet Tooth, The Zoo and Sex Planet.… Expand

    Anyone who listens to and admires this criminal should double up in the same jail cell in which this guy belongs, if not for his money and station in life. A true example of the idiom, "Life just isn't fair," this guy should make fans with female children truly lock up their daughters.

    Double Up? Double bag it, double dip it, double dump it! Another R&B Cd that sounds the same as every other one in the last 15 years. Can you really tell the difference between an R. Kelly song or Chris Brown? I didn't think so. They are just packaging these artists like Pancake Mix. There's no difference in any of the styles or originality.

    It's a very sexually explicit R. Kelly who greets fans on this outing. [2 Jun 2007]

    This is a nutty album, but a pretty single-minded one.
