    This is a dry affair dominated by standard-issue R&B production monotony, and an egregious misuse of resources.

    It's better to be the imitation Ray Charles than the poor man's R. Kelly. [Feb/Mar 2006, p.94]

    Unpredictable resembles another legendary thespian's venture into pop, William Shatner's 1968 opus The Transformed Man, in that you start to wonder whether Foxx is actually serious or not.

    a great voice waisted on boring and sappy love songs, energy lacking up-beats, and upstaging guest appearences. there is one exception to a great voice waisted on boring and sappy love songs, energy lacking up-beats, and upstaging guest appearences. there is one exception to this, the very sexy 2nd single "dj play a love song" is worth a download, but dont waste your time on the rest of the album… Full Review »

    I didn't think much of this album atall, the guy has a good voice but it just sounds like every other cliche R & B album(which i'm I didn't think much of this album atall, the guy has a good voice but it just sounds like every other cliche R & B album(which i'm sorry is getting beyond belief people still buy sh*T like this!), Jamie claimed he was coming up with something different, well I don't see it or hear it! (All F*cking hype like Kayne "lets rip old tunes and spit lazy lyrics over it" West) Stick to the acting and stop f*Cking pretending to be Ray Charles, the film's good but stop singing his hooks and then stupid assed people saying "JAmie Foxx sounds like Ray Charles", People hear me now! He doesn;t sound like Ray Charles and he will never be the legend Ray Charles is, get up off your ass and buy the greatest Ray Charles album and listen! And don't buy this heap of sh*T album… Full Review »
