Feb 24, 2023Phenomenal album!
It's just so good. There's a great balance between upbeat tracks and sadder tracks -
Feb 1, 2023Unfortunately, this album is far from perfect. Could be much better. So disappointing.

Dec 5, 2016The sound is true power-pop. The most outstanding part of each track is Adam's voice. His vibrato and range are stunning. Nobody can fault his vocals, it's impossible. He may have had very little involvement in the production or writing (the writing credits are pretty star studded though - Gaga, P!nk, Matt Bellamy), but like the vocalists of old, it's his voice that dominates here.
-
Jan 30, 2015Throughout the album, Lambert brings a real sense of spectacle to his vocal performances. A brilliant power-pop record. It's just a shame it's a little too obvious which songs were written by Pink, Gaga, Matthew Bellamy and so on.

Sep 18, 2013great album full of good songs like for your entertainment,fever,whataya want from me and there is so much glam rock influence in the album you can tell that by listening to the songs

Apr 11, 2013An amazing pop album debut from season eight runner up of American Idol, Adam Lambert. There is not one bad song on the album. Picking a favorite is pretty much impossible, but stand out tracks include: "Whataya Want From Me", "Aftermath", "If I Had You" and "Sleepwalker".

Sep 3, 2012Damn sexy album. Not a single song brings you down and songs like soaked emphasize his high riffs and those like aftermath give u a jol when you feel low. amazing. just beyond something words can describe. although music again was quite uptempo it's lyrics are really wonky.... 10/10

May 31, 2012It is simply impossible to ignore this album. With some of the catchiest hooks around this album really is one of the best pop albums you'll hear. His incredible vocals and obvious pop star qualities save this album from being called 'Adam Lambert Sings', because let's face it, it is a little too obvious at times which songs previously belonged to Lady Gaga, P!nk, Muse and so on.

May 28, 2012Great Choice Of Singles
Great Voice
Great Debut Album -
May 25, 2012A nice debut album from Adam Lambert. His voice is fantastic in this album. But I just like a few songs and the rest falls a little bit flat.............
-
Mar 19, 2012It's not a great album, but it's a good album. When it first came out, I listened to it over and over again, and now I seem to have put it to rest. It may not stand the test of time, but it's got some dance-able hits, nice ballads, creativity, and Adam's incredible voice.

Feb 21, 2011Really good debut album for major debut singer career of Adam Lambert! All songs is Great and can listen ,dance ,sing and scream without doubt! CHEERS ADAM
-
Jan 16, 2011An imperfect but solid debut from someone who will hopefully be one of the faces of mainstream pop music for years to come. What the album lacks in originality and cohesiveness, it makes up for by continuously showcasing Lambert's brilliant vocal ability.

Nov 19, 2010This is a guy that screeches in every song. Every song is a cast off from a real artist's trash bin. Don't waste your money on this cd. Its just a novelty like William Hung's.
-
Oct 26, 2010Some songs i absoloutly dread when i come to them while listening to this album. not naming any names.... *cough* strut *cough*.. but other songs make up this album's weaknesses, and ill be glad to name their names. "For Your Entertainment", "Whataya Want From Me", "If I Had You", and "Fever".

ConnieBJan 7, 2010Wonderful but not as good as it could have been. Next time make sure his voice shines and is not covered up by the background noise, please.

KathyK.Jan 1, 2010More good songs on this CD than most. Some of the songs are very clever and catchy...good to dance to. Some are slow and tender. What a nice variety!

BrandonS.Dec 23, 2009His vocals are superb as one would suspect. However he has a little bit of Mika syndrome here with his tracks chipping off melodies from all sorts of various influences from Radiohead to Queen to Britney Spears. You never feel as though anything outside of the vocals are his. I swear though, once he shakes off the shackles of whatever is keeping him in the box he's gonna be fire.

CarolM.Dec 18, 2009I love every song on this CD! I can't wait for Adam's next CD! He really made me wanna listen to 'Music Again'! (Great first song for the CD!).

LisaB.Dec 13, 2009Loved every single song save 1, Aftermath. I cannot say I have ever found an album that came anywhere near the love I have for this one. If you like pop/dance/glam/rock this is the album for you. And find a better song for standing alone, at the edge of the world, on a grey, cool, drizzle filled day, staring from the cliff over open water, than Broken Open.

LibertyBellDec 11, 2009I started to listen to music again, thanks to this album! Glad there is different types of music sounds and enjoy all the cuts. Favorite is Strut.

The songs sound great but feel strangely stuffy--Entertainment seems like a disc that was overthought.
-
Lambert sounds larger than life on these, just like he wants to be, and if there’s no sense of danger here, at least there’s a lot of pure pop pleasure here, more than any immediate post-Idol album has ever delivered.
-
Lambert’s ambition and undeniable vocal chops make it easy to forgive an occasionally over-reaching record that ultimately feels like a rough draft for an interesting career.
