JessieMMar 20, 2009This album is filled with great hooks, solid production all around and epic R&B-Pop songs that will truly grab your attention from start to finish. Love vs. Money is a early candidate for AOTY. It's that good, trust me.

fraserHMar 13, 2009I'm not normally one for R&B but this album is something special. Its really that good. There's a depth and feeling about it that you dont normally find in this genre.

ChangYMar 14, 2009I loved the first cd. This was a amusement ride in which you have to hold on because the song writing, production, and singing takes you out of this world. It advances on your senses and makes you re-approach your own relationship with caution. i personally think he's trying to give Ne-yo a run for his money.

KellyMar 14, 2009This has to be the greastest album I'v heard in a long time. He has captivated me. I could not only hear, but also feel the hurt from the songs like love vs mone parts 1&2 fancy and Right Side of Your Brain. I am completely subdued by Mr.Yeah. This cd has grammys written all over it.

JerrodL.Mar 12, 2009Jarrell C. couldn't be more right! This album is sooooo good. I didn't see The-Dream delivering an album like this either, but there are so many highs on this album that it sounds like hit after hit.

jarvist.Mar 12, 2009I agree this is the best male R&B album since confessions! I believe he has another cd scheduled for release later this year LOVEKING.

ChristianBMar 29, 2009Holy babymakin' music! Heavyweight start power collaborations certainly don't hurt. Good album all 'round. The Love vs Money dilemma is an interesting one to begin with. Highly recommended.

PatchMApr 29, 2009The-Dream's best album.

ClifCApr 5, 2009Well... If I were mean I would give this album a 2 or 3 just for the pleasure to see this album getting a lower average. Were critics paid to give such grades and reviews? Overproduced work. And Rolling Stone is f*c**d up, how on earth there's no bad songs in this album? Best track(s): Walkin' on the Moon.

AnniceNApr 9, 2009This album is the sh*t!!!! Love it, Love it, Love it! I am not a big R&B fan, but this is one of the best I have heard in a long time. I hope C. Milian's album is just as hot.

BooSep 20, 2009Excellent CD. I love to listen to it. Not better than Love/Hate but a fun CD nonetheless.

JarrellCMar 11, 2009I did not think that The-Dream was capable of delivering an album this good, but he has. It is the best male R&B record since Usher's Confession. Definitely check out "Take You Home 2 My Mama," "Right Side of My Brain," "Fancy," and "Rockin that si**".

OctoMar 12, 2009Love Vs. Money is an amazing sophomore effort from The-Dream. I expect this album to be one of the biggest of 2009.

Aug 20, 2010Its a great album its actually not better than the first which I wonder why it is not on here the cd is so great with superb melodies and great storytelling cause his first cd was about love with a hint of hate but mostly just sex, love and having fun I rate this a 8 would have been excellent if he would not have had a bad ending to a good cd hint hint "Let Me See Your Booty"
-
Jun 18, 2013WOW Great music seriously brilliant masterpiece The-Dream never ever disappoints its a must BUY all his albums are good never released a bad album ever

Ultimately, Love vs Money is Love/Hate's equal, stuffed with hooks, ceaselessly absorptive productions, and clever and often funny wordplay.
-
The-Dream has definitely bypassed the sophomore slump with "Love Vs. Money." The songwriter-cum-singer pushes the envelope production-wise (incorporating more of his Prince influences, among others) as well as lyrically.
-
Unlike his spotty debut, this is a seamless, brilliantly produced affair featuring his unmatched contemporary pop technique and songwriting craftsmanship.
