"How many artists can mix Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B and Funk of this way?. When I listen this it's like back to my childhood. I grew up while the radio played these songs. Still sounds really fresh .There is not a bad song on this album. Fergie is the atraction but William as a producer was amazing!"  Reply

"I didn't find this one as powerful as Down with the Sickness. Each song seemed like the last, whereas on DwtS each song stood on it's own legs. That said though, it was still a solid album. Some of the best tracks are the title track and I'm Alive for me. Very good piece of work though. Could hav..."  [+]  Reply

"This is just a beautiful David Gray album, cold and stark and meticulous with great piano melodies and quick-hitting lyrics. The glacier on the front is a perhaps representation of the mood of the album."  Reply

"I ask everyone to give this album a try. It's one of those that I found in my early teen years, listened to it all through high school, and still enjoy it today. Yes it is a bit angsty, but it's honest. Justin Pierre is one of the greatest poets of his generation and every single one of his lyric..."  [+]  Reply

"This is actually a respectable album, people over-look it because too much of the world thinks lil waynes career didnt start until the release of Tha Carter III.
