Listening now. I am up to 'Hard on My Love". Musically the album sounds great, but a lot of it already sounds like The Evolution which is quite disappointing....

I don't think it sounds so much like Evolution but I may need to listen to it more since a few people have expressed the same thing. It's a little too midtempo for me but I like what I've heard. Oh and he needs to stop smoking.

Yeah, actually, I am really disappointed with it. It sounds like a lounge album. Quite boring. I really was expecting "something else" being such a big fan of Mr. Thicke. But there's nothing else in it, except maybe the use of real instruments, which is what RT does anyways.

Yeah a lot of the vocal style and a few of the songs sound just like Evolution.

There's some change in his voice- his falsetto doesn't sound as rich as Evolution and Beautiful World.

Best tracks are Magic and Hard on My Love.

Really pissed off. I was expecting so much more.

CD Universe is selling this CD with a slightly different tracklist.It doesn't include the song "Tie My Hands" (with Lil Wayne) but it includes three other songs not listed above:

"Lay Down"
"Round Two"
"Stranger"

Could this be a special edition? In a recent interview,Robin mentioned that he was considering making "Tie My Hands" a bonus track.

He's doing press junkets on all the radio stations for it. I heard him play some songs live on the Steve Harvey morning show, it sounds pretty decent.

definitely one of my favourite soul realeases thus far this year. i will have to wait for anthony hamilton to also drop. i also like the work he's done on jennifer hudson's debut album with the track"giving myself".

a mixed-bag, the up-tempo stuff is very good and the mid tempo stuff is repetitive for the most part

On first listen, it's good but not great. I don't think it compares to either of the first two albums. "You're My Baby" is a poor man's "Would That Make U Love Me" (my favorite Thicke track), but that alone is enough to make it the album's best song. I still love "Magic," but the only other standout is "Cry No More." That being said, I have a feeling I'll warm up to some of the other tracks upon further listening.
