Jan 4, 2013Bruno Mars has delivered an enjoyable, nostalgia dripping sophomore effort that surpasses his first album by a mile. While he still has room to grow (he could at least try to be more original), Bruno has proven that he is a talented tribute act and has much more up his sleeve for the future.

Dec 11, 2012this is the album i waited for well done bruno! many different styles on this album, that it never becomes boring. He has taken the risky path that not many choose to take with a sophmore album, but it paid off big time.
Give this album a chance -

Dec 11, 2012Bruno Mars has proven with this album that he is not a one-trick-pony. If you did not like his first album, I urge you to give Unorthodox Jukebox a chance. There are so many different styles on this album, that it never becomes stale or boring. He has taken the risky path that not many choose to take with a sophmore album, but it paid off big time.

Nov 11, 2013New reviewer reviewing my top cds of 2013 what can you say about bruno mars true brilliance, rock, r&b, etc. he has a prince feel on one song and an old school r&b feel on another rock and sting are present i think he is one of the most intiguing and brilliant artists of our century.

Jul 24, 2013The music is still deliberately derivative yet fun and unshakeable, and the lyrics are still unpretentiously simple and ring with a truth that many can identify with.
With this album, Bruno Mars proves to naysayers that he is here to stay. -
Jan 6, 2013The current king of 'sappy love songs' is back! His songs are infectious, designed to leave girls 'swooning', giving wedding singers worldwide enough material to sing until Mars' next album. His trademark vocal is back, and while it doesn't have as single as strong as his previous effort, it will still be a big hit worldwide.

May 8, 2013Just listened to the entire album. I really enjoyed it. Short and sweet and to the point. Very well done. Every song is worth listening to as there are only 11 songs with such variation and there isn't one that is "skippable". Each song tells a story coherently which is something that Frank Ocean may have lacked for me.

Mar 11, 2013Bruno Mars strikes back with an even better sounding album than before, fans like me should be really pleased.

Dec 20, 2012Is an excellent album that contains a bit of everything does not disappoint bruno, bruno is one of the greatest artists of this time and I hope it is much more some of his songs reminds me of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley shows bruno is heir to the king of Pop

Mar 24, 2013Bruno Mars Has Proven With This Album That He Has The Writing Skills And The Voice To Make One Of The Best Albums Of 2012!
-
Mar 30, 2013Talvez o CD seja muito bom, mas não como o seu CD de estreia Doo Wops & Hooligans, consegui sentir a vibe positiva contida nas letras e no ritmo quase anos 80, pra mim uma pena que Unorthodox Jukebox quase totalmente como uma balada porque músicas como Locked Out Of Heaven são muito vendiveis

Nov 1, 2013I'm no Bruno Mars fan but this album is pretty well done. Locked Out of Heaven, When I Was Your Man and Treasure are two songs that should never be left out of any top songs of 2013 list.

Mar 3, 2014Just a really good album. The beats are awesome. My two favorite tracks: Treasure and Natalie The one I could have done without Show Me. I give this album a 9 out of 10. Thanks for reading.

Oct 7, 2014Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the first. Catchy songs, he got this control in his songs that any artist should have. Keep goind Bruno, we are with you!

Nov 12, 2017This album is fun. Bruno Mars's music has always been just fun to listen to, it's not extraordinary but it's fun. When I Was Your Man was really the only deep cutting song on the album it's a 10/10 but the rest of the songs are again good pool or club music.

Jul 12, 2016Bruno Mejora Cada Vez Mas, Su Musica Es Indiscutiblemente Buena, Tiene Un Gran Talrnto Y Es Exitoso, Esto Merece Mas Que Un 70 Como Metascore, Es Un Gran Album.

Nov 21, 2016a surprisingly introspective album hidden behind interestingly complex yet accessible pop tunes. this is undoubtedly bruno mars at his best.
best songs: young girls, locked out of heaven, gorilla, treasure -
Mar 29, 2017I remember this so long ago. I hated Locked Out Of Heaven, loved Treasure, the songs were all pretty good. I loved it. Thats why I give it an 8/10....
-
Jun 6, 2017I really like the album! It was very good! Songs like When i Was Your Man and If I Knew are the betters of the album. Congradulations. Bruno knew how to take people to another place, a place in our imaginations! Very good!

Jul 26, 2020Great album with mars showing his versatility in his music and love for music.includes all genre from pop/rock to pop/country with some old r&b sounds as well
-
Mar 20, 2021Very wise production,At least it is far better than DooWops & Hooligans productions. Lyrics are good and I'm still listening and vibin with treasure.

Jan 3, 2013His second album is the same conventional mish-mash as his 6m-selling debut.
-
Dec 21, 2012Too many of the tracks seem more like very good imitations of song types than like actual songs.
-
Dec 18, 2012He's an undeniable talent, desperately searching for an identity to claim as his own.
