This really ain't that bad. I have to admit I was hating on this album after checking the singles "Muthafucka" and "Hey Now" but those songs aren't really telling you anything about this album.
This is far from his best work but it's actually more consistent that "Man Vs Machine". People should check this album out and not just judge it on the singles like I did, it deserves a listen. The biggest flaw on the album are the singles which don't fit the feel of the album at all.
