    On T-Pain's fourth album rEVOLVEr, though, that dampened bravado actually serves him.

    No, his music isn't appropriate for every situation, but when T-Pain is what you're in the mood for, there's still no better T-Pain than T-Pain.

    If you want the T-Pain you know and love rEVOLVEr delivers that in spades--but he doesn't really EVOLVE at all.

    It gives credit to his cheerily assured worldview that Pain's roboto soul sounds like inspiration.

    It's a shame Mr Pain needs these cameos as much as his instrument of choice--without them, the temptation for the listener would be to simply Auto-Tune out.

    Despite the title's promise of evolution, the record mines the same club-banging, shawty-romancing formula of the singer's boom years, to ever-diminishing returns.

    With half of rEVOLVEr emulating his older tracks and the other half making strained attempts to branch out into rap and dance, it appears that the rappa ternt sanga simply hasn't found anywhere else to turn.

    It's nice to see T-Pain back. He created good songs but some were not released like, Take Your Shirt Off, Rap Song, Booty Work, and ReverseIt's nice to see T-Pain back. He created good songs but some were not released like, Take Your Shirt Off, Rap Song, Booty Work, and Reverse Cowgirl. The extensive use of auto-tune is another thing. I think, the voice of the old T-Pain (Rappa Ternt Sanga days) is much better than today.… Expand

    Revolver is not the best work we have seen from T-Pain, but it is not horrible. T-Pain has once again restated that Auto Tune is not deadRevolver is not the best work we have seen from T-Pain, but it is not horrible. T-Pain has once again restated that Auto Tune is not dead using it to perfect songs such as Its Not You and Sho Time(Pleasure Thang). Along with that he keeps the listeners going with club bangers like Bottlez and Nothin(Deluxe Edition only). Then he preaches the robot blues in songs like Rock Bottom. The Auto Tune effect was little overdone and T-Pain was sometime shown up by his guests. Other than that, the album was another T-Pain original trying to push music to great lengths and heights… Expand

    Awful, auto-tune and all. Its not something you should be proud of. The society needs good music, this is not something we can call "good".Awful, auto-tune and all.
