    This stuff might not add up to a great album, but Wild Ones could at least win second prize in a beauty contest.

    He has numerous potential chart-toppers here thanks to a well-tested formula.

    Buy it, enjoy it, and forget it. It's a fun bit of fluff.

    On his fourth album, Wild Ones, there's a distinct Flo Rida-shaped hole where his personality once was--and it's been filled with other people's songs.

    Here he largely defers to producers (including Dr. Luke) and guest stars (Sia, J. Lo), and watches the cash roll in.

    If you play this album really loud – and leave your brain marinating in formaldehyde on a shelf for a half-hour – it's crudely effective. Play it a second time, and you may want to kill yourself.

    Wild Ones has two of Flo's top 40-obliterating recent singles, "Good Feeling" (in which he hijacks Avicii's "Le7els") and the title track....The rest is serviceable work for the clubland meat grinder.

    I'm not even a fan of hip-hop or Flo Rida but this album has so many strong tracks for fans of House and Dance Pop genres. Dance musicI'm not even a fan of hip-hop or Flo Rida but this album has so many strong tracks for fans of House and Dance Pop genres. Dance music producer Axwell has outdone himself producing this album. So much creative energy has gone into this production leading to so many outstanding remixs from other artist. Everyone hating on this simply isn't a fan of electronic dance music.… Expand

He's not an artist who's made to make albums. The songs don't vary on subject matter; they all are about partying and sex. But that's why anyone likes Flo Rida. 'Good Feeling' seems like it came out ages ago, but it's still a fun, great song, and every other song is basically a variation of it. Nothing strays too far out of the formula, which is why this album just comes up short in all honesty. Don't buy this album expecting deep stuff - it's radio fodder. But it can be fun radio fodder, so it's up to you.… Expand

    Is Flo Rida good at making catchy, irresistable hit singles? Sure. However, is he capable of making a memorable studio album? Not at all. I'mIs Flo Rida good at making catchy, irresistable hit singles? Sure. However, is he capable of making a memorable studio album? Not at all. I'm convinced at least 95 percent uses the same bassline and hook. The songs are generic; using basic dance-pop elements without any kind of innovation. Flo Rida's rap vocals are decent, however, they're mediocre when compared to serious rap artists. If you're looking for a fun time and nothing but, I'd recommend certain singles. "Wild Ones" features a beautifully sang hook by Austrailian recording artist Sia, who makes the song a hit in its own right. "Good Feeling", the album's lead single, practically steals Etta James' retro hook in Avicii's "Le7els" and turns it into a formulaic pop radio jam. Even $6.99 is overpriced when it comes to this wannabe dance-pop album.… Expand

Yes!This is the most annoying, repetitive and weak album I ever seen, all singles with featuring, this guy can't make a music by himself? Yes!
