  1. There’s a distinct lack of personality, meaning that LL Cool J’s eleventh long player is merely good, and his reputation (and bank balance) will be neither tarnished nor expanded.

    There's nothing wrong with this record... Yet it's only on Feel The Beat, in which he lets his ego off the leash, that LL gets into gear. [Oct 2004, p.128]
  3. Mostly the music is sufficiently inventive... Lyrically, though, this is mostly hip-hop by numbers.

    Mostly, he's outmuscled by the production. [Oct 2004, p.122]
