    Pitbull manages to provide enough variety on Climate Change to at least maintain his position as one of the globe's most enduring peddlers of positive vibes.

    He presides over the festivities like the affable if occasionally annoying host, relentlessly pumping up you and his many guests--ranging from fellow Miami MC Flo Rida to usual suspects Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias--even when the track is tired.

    The guy who promises to "pull a little hair/smack a little oooh" on "Educate Ya" may not always be as charming as his one-world groove, but he knows how to host a party.

    Jubilant but spotty.

    Climate Change is an album about nothing. It hears nothing, speaks nothing, and sees nothing. It could be about partying, but even that subject is given such perfunctory treatment that what’s left hardly rewards participation.

    Pitbull never fails to deliver. If you're in a party mood, Pitbull's albums are the right choice!

    John - I don't really know what I was expecting going into this, but towards the end of Climate Change I was begging for it to end. It's aJohn - I don't really know what I was expecting going into this, but towards the end of Climate Change I was begging for it to end. It's a Pitbull album, and whilst I really like Greenlight, it was just an incredibly repetitive collection of dance/rap songs.The collaborations didn't work for me for the most part, especially the rather odd combination of R. Kelly and Austin Mahone on Dedicated. Having said that, it was nice to hear Leona Lewis on something for the first time in years!

    I was hoping for at least a track that resembled Fireball or Calle Ocho in terms of having some sort of Latin inspiration but there was none. Had there been, this review would've been considerably more positive. Overall then? Mediocre, but give Greenlight a listen if you haven't already. It's a good pop song and the only standout track on the album.

    Tilly - Okay, so this was no way as fun as I'd expected. By about halfway through, I was ready to shoot myself if I heard 'Mr Worldwide' one last time. We've come to know - and love? - Pitbull for his latin party-vibes and crappy rapping, throwing around the silliest phrases accompanied by some okay samples, and an average production. This was all of that as per usual, but I can now see why his albums don't chart very well. His latin background was also very underused here. Where was the Fireball of the album? Because that's where he shines. Unfortunately, as much as I think he's a nice guy, Climate Change was undeniably a dull, repetitive string of dance songs, misogynistic lyrics and a lack of charm. Don't even get me started on the butchering of Pat Benatar's Love Is A Battlefield...    … Expand

    I can't even begin to understand how people take this guy seriously. First he performs at the Miss USA Pageant and now the Home-Run Derby.I can't even begin to understand how people take this guy seriously.
