    I didn't enjoy this album at all. I wasn't big fan on it. Usher really let me down, but I give him credit for his songs "Scream" and "Climax" they were enjoyable to a certain extent. The rest of the songs didn't met my standard though. My standard was very high, its not the best album he has created.

    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.

    It's more about sound quality and songwriting than the calculated brand-building of his recent releases.

    Where the experimentation often succeeds, the editing fails.
