    Ultimately, Love vs Money is Love/Hate's equal, stuffed with hooks, ceaselessly absorptive productions, and clever and often funny wordplay.

    There isn't a weak song on Money; most of them are unforgettable.
  3. PopMatters
    60
    Cliche love songs, too many similar beats and melodies, and a lack of energy all pull the album down, and when the album is composed in a way that should be fully appreciated in its entirety, the lack of variety affect the album's success even more.

    Wow, we have another mediocre and bland addition to the R&B scene. There's nothing original here. Step 1: Take some heavy synth-based backbeats. Step 2: Add some cliché lyrical concepts. Step 3: Throw in some vocals that have been run through all sorts of ridiculous production tricks. Step 4: Add some cameos by pop musicians we've heard way too much in the past decade. Step 5: Release album. These songs aren't particularly catchy or memorable. I'm disappointed.… Expand
