    Derulo's clubby hooks are infernally catchy, and he adds a touch of freshness with buoyant forays into rock and salsa.

    All said and done, Tattoos is a pleasant album with some bright moments as well as some average ones.

    Perhaps Derulo has grown as a person since his previous album, but it's hard to call this one a step forward.

    Ultimately, it’s a failure of imagination--reflecting either a deficiency of talent and/or invention on Derulo’s part or his complete contempt for the listener.

    Metacritic does not have his current album Talk Dirty in the library of music, so that is the album that I am scoring.
    Derulo's last album    Metacritic does not have his current album Talk Dirty in the library of music, so that is the album that I am scoring.
    Derulo's last album Future History had a few catchy tracks that were dance worthy. Sadly Future History did not keep up Jason's standards like his debut self-titled album. Talk Dirty is a major improvement from Future History. This album could possibly be one of the greatest R&B/Dance albums ever made. Every song is perfect. Highlights of the album for me are: Talk Dirty, The Other Side, Trumpets & Marry Me.
    Derulo has become a mega contender in the world of music, thanks to Talk Dirty.    … Collapse

    personally i think that it's his best album relased yet, because it's original, and it has a style. He has abandoned his previous publicpersonally i think that it's his best album relased yet, because it's original, and it has a style. He has abandoned his previous public image, for be a sex symbol, and the lyrics of the album show it, yes i know that are really stupid and silly, but they gives to the album a style. The best songs are surely "Talk Dirty", a original R&B/pop track where he shows his ability of make an original song, yes because the trumpets gives to the song an originality, "Bubblegum" a catchy 'dirty rap' song, "Marry Me" a sweet pop serenade, and "The Other Side" a catchy dance track. The album is trivial and sloppy, but his originality make this album the best ever made by Derulo yet.… Expand
