Anyone got this yet? I bought it on Monday and I'm a little disappointed tbh. What are your thoughts?

well i was disappointed with his first album, so im not going to be getting this one. to hear you are disappointed with it, just confirms it.

he has maybe 1 or 2 good songs.

Got it the other day here in Canada, its not bad tbh but could be better...definitely dont think its worth buying really but then over here...its quite cheap CDs that is.

Other than Stronger, there really arent any standout tracks on it...his last 2 albums were much better than this imho.

It's a grower and there are certainly lots of great tracks, just different to his other stuff.

I dont like it my self, there are a few songs of his that I like but his albums are poor, same goes for 50 cents new album

Pretty similar like you say, but Good Life is an awesome tune and it's still a cool video.

I think it's an excellent album, has a lot of good tracks on it. 'Good Morning' and 'Flashing Lights' are ones that spring to mind.

hmmmm it's a grower for sure, I like the new sound its like futuristic hip hop in places I like

I don't like the Jay Z sample at the end of Good Morning, seems a bit pointless to me but other than that great track, in fact the only song that stands out as weaker than the others is Drunk and Hot Girls which is really a bit rubbish.

Thought it might and so I looked back to check, when he holds up the credit card it says "African American Express" ('Last Call' off College Dropout).

Just got this. Really liking "Big Brother" , "Bittersweet Poetry" , "Stronger" is ok but heard it too much for my own good now. Those are the only tracks that really stand out to me.
