    Ceelo did not create this album to appease the critics, naysayers or otherwise. The essence of this album is internal .... despite the publicity setbacks with his legal issues, he created ART. True CeeLo fans will love this album.

    The standard dips largely within the beginning stages, the grooves throughout getting even worse, and Green himself has never sounded this bad before.

    Possibly the best Cee Lo album of all time guy nailed it excitement positivity story and more I like the detailed emotion here that Cee Lo delivers and if he does more like this that would be awesome you go Cee Lo!

    1. Heart Blanche misunderstands what made Cee Lo Green's past hits work: balancing vocal sweetness with something else, whether it is the dissociative lyrics of "Crazy", or the humorous bitterness of **** You".
    2. If you want to put his voice in a modern pop album, make it subtler. Making an excessive modern pop album with a voice with quite a bit of power on it's own is a terrible idea.    1.

    3. How did they make him sound bad? Did they autotune him?
    4. Giving into the album's pleas for pity and compassion is difficult to say the least.    … Expand

    He still has a lot of talent, he just needs to reign in his creative impulses (along with a few others) to make a better album next time.

    His voice remains an effortless marvel, largely wasted on this slick but trite material. [Feb 2016, p.75]

    This new album is as quixotic and wilfully idiosyncratic as his previous oeuvre. [Jan 2016, p.88]
