    I liked the sound of this album, almost Outkast-ish with his eclectic use of sound, although a bit too much singing for my taste and not enough lyrical output, sort of speak. I liked about half of the songs on the album tho.' Overall not his best album but better than most of the sh*t out today.

    Yes B.o.B has changed and he has more meaningless songs, but there are still many highlights on this album that make it worth listening to. The songs paper route, nobody told me, one day, coastline, back me up, and John Doe still have great lyrics and message. Songs like read and headband may drag it down a bit but overall it is still mostly the old bob with some added club tracks In there.

    I overall enjoyed each and every song on this album. Its another album with a variety of music and genres. I have been a fan of B.o.B for quite a few years, and he has always put out straight up rap, and he has always put out stuff that isn't as much of hip-hop. People are giving him hate because they haven't seen too much rap/trap B.o.B.

    Personally, I think this deserves album of the year, and should not be slept on.

    His subpar wordplay is easily out-rapped and out-sung by guests like Future and 2 Chainz.

    The rapper/musician born Bobby Ray Simmons Jr. tries to recapture the pop success of his debut with smartly conceived hooky songs while also churning out overly familiar trap-informed grooves.

    There is a lot of content geared towards the party, bullshit and get money topics that are present in rap culture. However, the production (which is mostly done by Bobby Ray) evokes a deeper appreciation for his music as a whole.
