    The album probably has more features than any other Budden project, but it’s not overbearing. Also, Joe does not move away aimlessly from what he is good at and what he enjoys.

    Budden's raw energy and experience enriche otherwise throwaway pop, even when saccharine hooks (Kirko Bangz) and amphibian croaks (Lil Wayne) threaten to cheapen it.

    With Joe’s distinct style steering every track, No Love Lost is a much more cohesive and focused work, despite similar fluctuations [to Slaughterhouse's Welcome To: Our House].

    The casual listener might think it drifts too much, but fans who wrap it up in the Slaughterhouse universe will find it's a somewhat jumbled effort with plenty of literate, thoughtful writing to explore.

    1/4 of hip-hop super group Slaughterhouse and emerging solo artist Joe Budden releases his 3rd studip album "No Love Lost". Lyrically this1/4 of hip-hop super group Slaughterhouse and emerging solo artist Joe Budden releases his 3rd studip album "No Love Lost". Lyrically this album is great as showcased on songs like "All in My Head" with Royce da 5'9" and "Skeletons" with Joell Ortiz Crooked I. The production for this album was absolutely horrible but thankfully the lyricism shown by the Mood God was impeccable to save the album. All those who doubted Mr. Budden before this release should be proved wrong. Of course there is no 'big single' here to stand with his 2003 hit "Pump It Up" their are some radio friendly songs like "NBA" which features Wiz Khalifa and French Montana, "She Don't Put It Down" with Tank and rap superstar Lil Wayne. Overall, I think this is a good blueprint for the rap veteran's career.… Full Review »

    This album falls flat, especially after his latest mixtape, A Loose Quarter, was so good. While, yes, the production is awful and the songs inThis album falls flat, especially after his latest mixtape, A Loose Quarter, was so good. While, yes, the production is awful and the songs in general are just bad, the worst part about the album is that the best song is "All In My Head", which was released on the aforementioned mixtape. Budden would've been better off releasing his mixtape as the album, especially considering how bad the album is in comparison to the mixtape. "Skeletons" and "You and I" are the only redeeming original songs the album has.… Full Review »
