    Chris Brown has made a bland, occasionally obnoxious, pro forma R&B album.
  2. The New York Times
    50
    A curiously faceless album that largely thumbs its nose at close reading.

    Graffiti is worth the buy. The album expresses the way Chris Brown is changing as a man. Turning to a different genre in music, makingGraffiti is worth the buy. The album expresses the way Chris Brown is changing as a man. Turning to a different genre in music, making something we've never heard before. I love this CD! I think its worth the money and time.

    This album was not his best nor was it his worst. This album was overlooked by his RIhanna incident and people reviewed the album based on it.This album was not his best nor was it his worst. This album was overlooked by his RIhanna incident and people reviewed the album based on it. It was not a good comeback album but he was not making a comeback he was just trying to restore his career. I like the album, it was mature and he expressed his feelings. I would have given it a 7 but I need to help the score so I'll give it an 8… Full Review »

    I'm only giving this album a 10 to balance out some of the flack he got for the Rihanna incident. Btw, he was genuine about his feelings whenI'm only giving this album a 10 to balance out some of the flack he got for the Rihanna incident. Btw, he was genuine about his feelings when he did "man in the mirror" on BET. I know this because I saw the movie "Takers" and Chris Brown has no acting ability. That said, this was a mediocre album. Certainly not a "0" album ( like Lil' Wayne's 'Rebirth') but no more than a 7 (and that's being generous). Hopefully, when he puts out FAME, it will be a real comeback from the analytical beating he took (and it was only fitting that he took one; anyone who denies that doesn't know how America works). That's my 2 cents and hopefully this review will find an agreeable reader. Thanks.… Full Review »
