    Versus, Usher's 
nine-track companion to this year's Raymond v Raymond, finds the soul star no less randy than when we left him.

    For the most part, Versus falls in line with its parent release's mix of detached hedonism and pleading heartache.
  3. Slant Magazine

    Of course, the only people I could imagine getting any pleasure whatsoever from Versus's wretched collection of failed club-sex jams are those with enough bad taste to buy Raymond v. Raymond three or four times over.

    djprinvale is right...this album is just like classics like 8701 and Here I Stand..Raymond v. Raymond was far better than this but is a side dish to what the last album was… Expand

    This album screams classic Usher. A few popular club bangers mixed with a handful of R&B tracks. I like that mix and can appreciate what he is trying to do. I think long time Usher fans will like it but it's way to short. 9 tracks (37 minutes total) means this should have been released as an EP or included a few remixes of the official singles at the end to make up for the lack of tracks.… Expand
