    Personality aside, Chris Brown’s ability to succeed artistically at delivering sounds in all three sectors of urban Pop makes this release a great, yet disjointed listen.

    Chris Brown's sixth album is adventurous musically and a total mess lyrically.

    Aside from the standout club banger "Add Me In," which is steeped in arithmetic and trigonometry metaphors, and "101," which finds Brown doing "101 on the 101," the album's lyrics largely eschew mathematical objects in favor of soul-baring like "Autumn Leaves" and sex talk like "Songs on 12 Play," which likens a girl to a song from the titular R. Kelly album.

    X is one of his least ambitious releases.
  5. It's good for Brown that so many stars have rallied around him, despite his troubles. If only the new songs supported him as strongly.

It beats out F.A.M.E by quite a lot and simply destroys Fortune, which honestly was a little bit of a disaster.. This album deserves to be heard and for once, can we please stop talking about him as a person but more so him as an artist? Full Review »
