    Revolver is not the best work we have seen from T-Pain, but it is not horrible. T-Pain has once again restated that Auto Tune is not dead using it to perfect songs such as Its Not You and Sho Time(Pleasure Thang). Along with that he keeps the listeners going with club bangers like Bottlez and Nothin(Deluxe Edition only). Then he preaches the robot blues in songs like Rock Bottom.

The Auto Tune effect was little overdone and T-Pain was sometime shown up by his guests. Other than that, the album was another T-Pain original trying to push music to great lengths and heights… Expand

    A little too much of Ballads, same lyrical content and theme for greater part of the album make it a little less attractive. Appearances from Detail, Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, Lily Allen, Pitbull, E-40, Bei Major, R. Kelly & Lil Wayne do gain the spotlight and you instantly recognize the impact of these guests. But the solo Songs are the one's you can feel like skipping at any moment.A little too much of Ballads, same lyrical content and theme for greater part of the album make it a little less attractive.

    I agree with BeastxMode, it has too many Ballads. Solid project nonetheless. The stand out tracks are "Boom Boom Pow", "Rock Bottom", "Best Love Song" and "Default Picture".

    It's nice to see T-Pain back. He created good songs but some were not released like, Take Your Shirt Off, Rap Song, Booty Work, and Reverse Cowgirl. The extensive use of auto-tune is another thing. I think, the voice of the old T-Pain (Rappa Ternt Sanga days) is much better than today.

    This is a great album, i highly reccomend it although not as many club anthems as song like Buy u a Drank, Booty Wurk, Rap song, Im sprung, etc etc this is a great album that anyone should buy. As I said, not his best work, but definatly an AMAZING album I like every single track

    As toe-tapping or even eyebrow-raising as some of rEVOLVEr's 17 songs are (overlong at 66 minutes of no skits, just music), there's little to nothing here to put it over the top.

    By the end of these 17 tracks the head is heavy with images of the Smash robots battle-rapping against a crew from whatever planet The Clangers call home.

    If you want the T-Pain you know and love rEVOLVEr delivers that in spades--but he doesn't really EVOLVE at all.
