    Musically it’s a gloriously tacky mix of dance pop and hair metal, and we mean that in the best way possible....The only problem is that he doesn’t go far enough, likely the result of the label trying to tone down his flamboyance.

    The songs sound great but feel strangely stuffy--Entertainment seems like a disc that was overthought.
  3. The New York Times

    This is an overwrought, clunky, only sparingly entertaining record, constantly in argument with itself. Worse, 'For Your Entertainment' isn’t an ambitious flop, it’s a conservative one.

This is a great album, and I highly recommend it.… Full Review »
