    I found this collection of noise (I won't give it the courtesy of even being called an album) generally unpleasant. The first time you hear it, some of the songs are catchy, I'll give Brown that. However, after listening to it a second, third, or fourth time, you realize you've wasted your time trying to convince your ears that this was even worth listening to.

If the songs aren't about sex, they're about how great his life is compared to his haters (which he doesn't even have, might I add); it's just shallow. The only song I found even CLOSE to being written and not just calculated was "Don't Judge Me". Even that song, however, turned me off, being that it's an obvious plea to the listener to forgive what he's done, which honestly, comes off as arrogant in my opinion. Don't ASK for forgiveness; you'll get it as society sees fit. As many reviews have already said, the collection of noise wasn't "written" per se, but rather "computed, calculated, and formulated". It's as if he listened to the radio for hours on end and decided to try and recreate it, which he ultimately failed in doing. The collection is sure to please his blind fans, but to anyone with an ear for good music, this is a piece of garbage. It's simply not worth your time to even consider purchasing this catastrophe.… Expand

    Yet again, critics pick on Chris Brown because of his personal drama. This is a surprisingly good album with a nice blend of R&B, pop, hip hop, and dance. I recommend checking it out.

    Chris Brown's Fortune album is destined to be deemed as a Pop confection and a cacophony of sexual lyrics and sounds. But, this is entirely incorrect. It is, again, an underrated album. Chris Brown's newest studio album shows his journey as an artist, both musically and creatively in the entire saga of Fortune - in art, as a music video director and entertainer. With songs like "2012",Chris Brown's Fortune album is destined to be deemed as a Pop confection and a cacophony of sexual lyrics and sounds. But, this is entirely incorrect. It is, again, an underrated album. Chris Brown's newest studio album shows his journey as an artist, both musically and creatively in the entire saga of Fortune - in art, as a music video director and entertainer. With songs like "2012", "Biggest Fan" and "Sweet Love", he sets the tone for the night in romantic, sweet and sometimes super sexual evenings with his Boo. "Don't Judge Me" and "4 Years Old" look back onto the past and reveal his real emotions about past relationships and possible concerns about the speed at which his career has taken off, reminiscing friend Tyga's "Moving 2 Fast". "Party Hard", "Bassline" and "Biggest Fan" are the most single ready of the yet to be released tracks on the album. "Party Hard" is a song about that girl who you are interested in, but can never get the moment to show how you feel about her, it's total infatuation. After "Party Hard", there is a short interlude which features Chris' favorite female artist, Se7en, called "Cadillac" where Chris and Se7en sing acapella. "Bassline" is an exemplary example of a real music artist using dubstep the correct way - in which many Pop artists have simply jumped onto a dubstep track to try and be on the current trend. Kudos to Breezy for creating a song representative of the actual genre and being creative as well. "Mirage" and "Til' I Die" are two songs for the Hip Hop crowd, with "Mirage" featuring Hip Hop legend Nas and the latter featuring hot rappers Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa. Of course, "Strip", one of Brown's most successful R&B jams to date is on the middle of the album, featuring label mate (CBE) and mentee Kevin McCall. "Turn Up The Music", one of his biggest Pop / Dance songs to date, "Don't Wake Me Up" and "Trumpet Lights" are the Eurodance tracks Chris has become known for the past few years. They feature futuristic sounds, big bass and winding lyrics to get fans and non-fans on the dance floor. "Trumpet Lights" is the most adventurous and unique track on the album, with the sounds of Eurodance, Salsa and Dubstep rolled into one of Fortune's best tracks. It also features new CBE Signee Sabrina Antoinette. Fortune shows a lot of growth creatively both in and out of the studio. It is a surefire hit for #TeamBreezy and should win over new fans and people interested in R&B, Pop or Dubstep. Chris has a lot of jams, no matter which genre you're interested in - and they are all very well produced, written and performed on Fortune. This album shows how he has grown since F.A.M.E. was released in March 2011. I recommend you purchase this album, and even splurge on the deluxe edition, where there is sure to be more "A" grade R&B, Pop and Dubstep to fill your home, car or iPod with this summer!… Expand

The album's singles give a little wrong idea of what the album serves. Why? Because I expected mostly dance, pop driven record and instead I get something that comes closer to Chris Brown's first 2 albums. The album seems much more cohesive than the last 2 records (even though I never had a problem with that). It starts of with "Turn up the music", continues with Dubstep influenced "Bassline" and then switches to the futuristic sounding "Till I Die" but later on, it's R&B and only R&B until the last 2 tracks at the end (unless you count Nas feature on Mirage which is probably my favourite record on the album).

    It doesn't get boring though, the production on it's own keeps you entertained. There is a great ton of detail on each of the songs, making them intresting and often creating a great build up. The lyrics seem to be better than on the last album aswell (most notably on "Don't Judge Me" , "4 Years Old" and "Stuck on Stupid"). When it comes to vocals, the greatest showcase of Brown's abbility comes on "Cadillac (interlude)" which is a nearly acappella song. It leaves you wishing it wasn't just an interlude.

    All in all, Fortune is a great album that is sure to become underrated mostly because of artist's personal life but hey, everyone got their own ears, listen yourself and see if you like it. I highly recommend deluxe version, you wouldn't like to miss out on "Free Run" or "Wait For You" .    … Expand

    Chris Brown is amazing and his 'Fortune' album is great! His passed shouldn't reflect his future in others eyes. People should be forgiven, although to me he was never forgotten. He is a man of his fans and if his fans are the only ones with positive feedback, well that's all he needs. Excited to see what the future of music holds for him. He is an outstanding artist.

    Fortune tries to go back to the future for no reason. It tries to be like those 90s album that strive to have a 21st century sound. It pretty much tries too hard, but at the same time keeps what R&B artists try to get away from. (Making the same song on every album.) This album wasn't from the heart, but from the radio.

    This is the most boring album I have listened to ever. The songs lack any spirit or honesty. It is simply that exudes fakeness. The only reason it doesn't warrant getting a 0 or 1 is because the one exception to the album, 'Don't Wake Me Up.' Maybe Chris Brown should try to develop his music instead of focusing on forging passionless 'futuristic' trash like this.

Some of the new material on Fortune just wasn't in the picture. Although I like "Turn Up the Music" which he performed at the Grammys last February, but I kinda got a little over on the dance scene. I hope Fortune should be #1, but I gotta believe Bieber, Adele, or Flo Rida could be racing to the top.… Expand

    A lot of bland pop music that has no staying power and not much going for it beyond being slightly catchy. And definitely nothing to redeem the fact that Chris Brown is an unrepentant woman-beater(a fact that I refuse to leave out no matter how "irrelevant" his fans think that is).

    Chris Brown is at his best here. "Fortune", extremely underrated, is being cursed by Brown's "Incident" and for having the use of auto-tune. Auto-tune is not bad if used with conscience to improve the song. I can see its use being good and bad to this album. It depends of the track.

I can see its use being good and bad to this album. It depends of the track. Some were really helped by its use, while others were, not ruined but, injured by it. The album opens with its hit dance song and already moves to hip-hop. Not great hip-hop songs, lyrically, but their production are very good. They're really different one from the other. "Mirage" looks like the past, "Till I Die" the present and "Bassline" the future.

    Soon the R&B shows up with its excellence. "Don't Judge Me" is quiet beautiful but 2012 is extremely sexual, so you have a conflict right there. And it looks like the sexual content wins the war because the following tracks are also about. "Biggest Fan", "Sweet Love" and "Strip" should be left far away from the kids.

    When everything appeared to be ready to lose its meaning, "Stuck On Stupid", the best track here, appears to save the day. "4 Years Old" and "Party Hard Cadillac" also help. So there you have: The three best songs are all together in a sea of fourteen tracks. Soon after that, "Don't Wake Me Up" brings the dance genre back to the game. This professional production suffers from the unnecessary excessive use of the auto-tune. Maybe auto-tune should've been used only to high-level the chorus. Not in the entire song. Then "Trumpet Lights", close the album with is exceptionality.

    It's a good album, probably Brown's most diverse effort. Love it or hate it, its diversity is undeniable.    … Expand

Assim como aqueles juicers que são lindos como enfeite? Então, é assim que eu me senti após terminar de ouvir o álbum Fortune do Chris Brown. Depois de quatro boas canções lançadas como single (Strip, Turn Up the Music, Till I Die e Sweet Love) eu comecei a acreditar que vinha coisa boa, mas me enganei profundamente.

    Fortune tem como base um R&B datado e completamente sem graça na grande maioria das músicas. A concepção delas são de uma falta de habilidade inimaginável para um artista que deveria ser um "entendedor" do estilo. Grande produção fica do álbum fica a carga de grupos de produtores o que faz o álbum não ter nenhuma personalidade sólida. O maior e pior defeito são as composições: a maioria fala de sexo. Não falam, descrevem das maneiras mais sem criatividade que eu já vi. Se ele não está falando de sexo, ele está falando da Rihanna como na péssima Don't Judge Me, onde ele precisa reafirmar sua heterossexualidade (houve rumores que ele era bissexual). Como fosse mudar alguma coisa no pensamento das pessoas. Se nenhum dos assuntos está em voga na canção, as composições falam de amor da maneira mais genérica possível e imaginável. Se Chris não é exatamente um grande cantor, Fortune não vai alterar nada a percepção das pessoas sobre sua capacidade vocal. Como disse antes a maioria das canções são péssimas para baixo salvado apenas as já citadas e mais a interessante Bassline e o quarto single oficial Don't Wake Me Up (resenha a seguir). Curioso só as canções boas serem singles, né? Então, não se espante se Bassline virar também. Assim como aquele juicer queria saber se tem como devolver o para da onde veio: o lixão da Mãe Lucinda.

    One of the worst work this year. Most of the tracks can't even be called music. Some can be called NOISE like "Bassline" "Mirage" "2012" and many other ones. "Turn up the music" "Sweet Love""Don't wake me up""Till I die" are the only tracks that are worth listening for a second time while not even one track that is real wonderful.

    I would have to accommodate the name of fortune to torture of all Scopes possible, mediocre melody because it didn't stay on this pathetic album

    This is an underrated album. I think his Chris Brown album and F.A.M.E. are his best albums. Some are pop songs but overall it had a 2012 party late-night vibes to it. A few songs could've been left off but it was really good for that time. He had a more intimate sexual vibe.

    Fortune is another overload of poor decisions.

    "Don't Wake Me Up," a thumping club cut that's irresistible on an otherwise forgettable album.

    Brown brags about his extra-large condoms, and, on "Don't Judge Me," turns a tender love song into a Twitter rant against "haters."
