Sehr starkes Debüt Album vom "Newcomer" B.o.B, der ja ewig gebraucht hat, bis das Album mal fertig wurde.
Leider aber sind die Tracks allesamt bereits auf Youtube zu hören, wodurch ich auch diese Rezension verfassen kann.

Highlights: Airplanes // Ghost in The Machine // Airplanes Part 2
eher schwach: Bet I // Lovelier Than You

Gesang und Rap in einem, gute Mischung!
#1 in den USA mit 84'000 Einheiten in der ersten Woche.
Seine beiden Singles "Nothin on you" und "Airplanes" sind beide in den Top 5 in den USA.
Was für ein Durchstarter! Weiter so!

Great, great album, every song is fantastic. One of the finest of 2010. A shame that it flopped.

Amazing album. Basically every song is great, especially Nothin' On You, Airplanes, Magic, Past My Shades, Bet I and Don't Let Me Fall. One of the best of the year.

Für mich eine Überraschung, echt gutes Album mit viel Abwechslung und guten Featerings!

Nicht gerade was neues. Die beiden Singles haben mich schon eher überzeugt. Eine Brise weniger Mainstream wäre wünschenswert.

Ein erstaunlich gutes Abwechslungsreiches Album. Das liegt zum Teil sicher an den Features die B.O.B hatte, aber sicher auch an sein können.

Ich bin überzeugt, die Zukunft gehört B.O.B wenn dann mal David Guetta nicht mehr angesagt ist

To be fair, I didn't hate this album as much as I thought I would. Most of it was just extremely average and nothing special, and it's a shame for B.o.B. that he's released some of the "safest" (read: more bland and uninteresting) tracks as singles, because it put me off listening to the album as a whole for quite a while. The major problem with the album is that B.o.B.'s rap is not very good. All of the songs rely heavily on having a catchy hook or chorus and featuring a guest artist to do most of the work. The standouts were Magic, Nothin On You and Ghost In The Machine.

Nettes Debütalbum von B.o.B., phasenweise vielleicht noch zu nett, es fehlen Ecken und Kanten und irgendwie Persönlichkeit, aber das kann ja noch werden.
Highlights sind "Airplanes" und "Airplanes Pt. 2". . .

Super Album, vom chilligen Airplanes über das rockigen Magic bis zum Raplastigen Bet I hat dieses Album für jeden was zu bieten. Weiter so B.O.B

One of the best albums of 2010, this album has a little something for everybody. It is very eclectic in style and genre, as B.o.B. flits between rapping, singing (which he does quite decently) and guest apperances.

The more pop moments shine as the major hit singles, 'Airplanes', 'Nothin' On You' and 'Magic'. Most appreciated of all is that B.o.B. performs meaningful rap lyrics and doesn't just talk sex and nonsense like most of his contemporaries.

The more urban moments will appease the younger hip-hop fans, 'Bet I' and 'Past My Shades' are perfect examples of how to do hip-hop and how to do it well.

Finally, the more meaningful moments which are the personal highlights for me. Atmospheric and serious tracks like 'Don't Let Me Fall' and 'Ghost In The Machine' prove B.o.B. is ahead of the game as an well-rounded artist.

The album would get a 6, but there are a couple of filler moments (see: 'Fame', '5th Dimension').
