    When Usher puts out an album he is among the few artists that are on my "must listen" list. His voice is pure and very versitile.

    This is still a record pushing the boundaries of what modern R&B music can be and still keep its audience. Usher sounds and looks good out on that cutting edge.

    Where the experimentation often succeeds, the editing fails.
