Sensational!
From being the first male vocalist to own 20 Platinum-certified singles to breaking King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley‘s record for most Gold-certified singles (among male singers), Chris Brown is no stranger to seeing his name penciled all up and through the… Read More

Major potential, but most of it is Techno Filler. Not a good look.
I love love love the growth from him and taking chances not being in a box. Album sounds amazing.
Sounds like a winner to me, you can’t really judge on snippets but the snippets only want to make me want to listen to them in full, which can only be a good thing, I will be buying the album, without no question. The different styles of music is great, if your only into one type of sound musically then your boring. Chris always delivers.
Way, way too much filler. Too many songs sound like retreads of over songs on the album. I don’t think it shows growth or a new direction, either. I don’t think this album is making any sort of statement, unless the statement is “I want to be as middle-of-the-road as possible.”
I would have trouble choosing the next single, because every song sounds “just ok” but they’re all basically alike.
“Girlfriend” is a blatant black eyed peas ripoff. A few other songs sound like “Forever”-wannabes, but I guess that is to be expected.
“For Ur Love” sounds pretty cute though – but also like a BEP/Forever mashup of some sort.
Too many songs. I agree that some songs sound the coninuation of some other songs. Too many features too.
I love some songs there. All the best Chris.
THIS CD IS GOING TO BE SO HOT!
Urban music is going through a HUGE change right now. Most popular R&B artists are going very pop/techno (Beyonce, Trey Songz [lots of Prince sounding songs on his cd], Chris Brown, Rihanna, Usher, etc.).
Since Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga are selling the most… it’s obvious that R&B artists that are barely keeping record deals (LeToya, Mario, Amerie, etc.) are going to have to catch up. Even Mariah needs to take notes and realize that pop does not mean 80’s remakees (this coming from a lamb), but from incorporating the new dance sound.
Sounds like it’s going to be a winner Chris!
And to people who think there is too much filler or songs on this album, this is the deluxe edition.. the standard edition only has 13 songs. Just felt like pointing that out.
What the hell? Most of the deluxe tracks sound better than the standard ones? I wanted something NEW and DIFFERENT from him, this sounds like his other two albums but a little worse. I’m not knocking it snippets are so misleading but I LOVE Exclusive and this doesn’t sound like it will beat it… I thought after all he’s been through this year it would push out iconic music meaningful stuff too from him… sounds like retro trash
but I Love U sounds really nice and other songs i can tell I’ll really like
@ Curtis, and everyone else trying to sum up the album, before we’ve even heard it all,
you can’t judge an album based on snippets, until you hear every track in full, save your opinions, so far we’ve heard I Can Transform Ya, Crawl, Sing Like Me, So Cold and they’ve all been great, I think this album will have something for everyone and I do believe his grown as an artist and the more tracks the better, more for your money, so I don’t understand those who complain about too many tracks on album, that way you can find more songs to like then to dislike. Chris keep up the good work.
Paul did you miss when I said… “I’m not knocking it snippets are so misleading”
But still sounds good I’m not proclaiming it trash, but it doesn’t sound like anything new or innovative from him at all. I like the singles off his first album, and Exclusive is an amazing album and I already snippets I know I’m going to love in full but I’m just saying doesn’t sound like something mind-blowing.
I’ve been soaking in Rated R and Rihanna is becoming an artist, she didn’t just do pop records to duplicate GGGB, she actually said stuff this time and it’s huge growth for her, I mean I can’t even believe such amazing s*** like Cold Case Love and Fire Bomb came from her…
I’m just looking for growth out of Chris especially after everything that’s happened you know… I’m waiting for full for sure though I hope it’s NEW not same ol same ol
Question to the people that see no growth. Do you own the Self-title album & Exclusive?? because if you do you’ll see the growth. If you don’t then go listen to those two.
IM SORRY BUT THIS IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAT RATED R ALREADY…..
CHRIS TORE IT DOWN IN THE STUDIO HONEY!!!!!
Rated R. is tooo dark for me. Other then Rude Boy/Photographs/So Hard I can’t deal with that album. Plus that concert in London showed me vocally it was ALL studio. lol I’m sorry, her producer had to know sooner or later should have to perform it life so don’t tweak it much because it was not a good look.
iLike the way it sounds i think it has some potential!
sorry he just cant sing, he sounds like damn 10 and so whiney and hes doing dance and they all sound cheap and similar nope next chris learn to sing and stzop replyin on wanna be mj-moves.
relyin*
+ He liipsynchs too much. hes a studio singert
I don’t bash him for lip synching because he’s one hell of a dancer. Rihanna always sings live (to the dismay of hater b******) cause she does not dance, Rihanna has a LONG way to go before realizing her full stage entertainment she has more to offer and she will fulfill it some day im sure…
but Chris’ voice sounds the same as RUN IT, like f*** i wanna punch his throat in hopes his balls will finally drop.. man its annoying cause hes a good singer but like is that his permanent voice?? hope not man
@Curtis…I read this article awhile back this vocal coach in the industry talked about Chris Brown’s vocals and he said their are alot of young male singers in the industry that get on steroids to quickly mature there vocals…he said you can tell Chris is not going that route…he also stated roids can be really dangerous but in the industry he it’s strongly encouraged…
I believe this album is going to be great…he is stepping outside of the R&B box which is really good because R&B at the moment is not doing well so Chris is trying to evolve as a artist….I want Chris to step up his game and really be like his idol MJ and learn to sing and dance at the same time…Beyonce is proof it can be done…he is growing he’s only 20…
Only feeling 3 songs!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no growth and sounds only a continuation of his last album. FAIL
This album is no competition for Rated R , are you kidding??? Rihannas been getting crazy reviews lol……and Russian Roulette is performing very well internationally and domestically.
Haters fall back.
OMG
I’m feeling every track… except So Cold….
so manypotential Hot100 songs……..
this one’s going to hit hard!!!
whatever he did in his real life……..
I can let it go
these songs making me….
I hate him for beating women but can’t hate the talent
whatever he did in his real life……..
I can let it go
these songs making me….
I hate him for beating a woman but can’t hate the talent
Mmmm seems only 3 people have both the 1st and 2nd album of Chris, because most of you sound bandwagons. There is a lot of growth from the 1st two albums. lol
lol @Curtis the real truth came-out ones Rihanna was criticized on these comments. lol Pretender I see, huh?
Chris got a few OK tracks, but he sounds like he hasn’t hit puberty yet. When is his voice going to start sounding like a man’s and not so nasal? He always sounds like he’s whining about something.
As for R Rated!! That’s my jawnt!!!!! Omg!! People say it dark. Yeah, it’s dark, but I like dark music and it’s soooo consistent. I mean, as a CD it feels “whole ” and cohesive. Rihanna surprised me this time out and I have not like her in the past. But this CD is ORIGINAL. When Russian Roulette comes on the radio it does not sound like all the other songs. And that is why Rihanna will continue to blaze her own lane. I just “Mad House” was a real song!!!!
funny how rihanna stans come here to bash chris and say RR is epic..sit you asses down somewhere…you all sound like idiots…after fours years in the game rihanna cant even work a crowd or penn a hit and you tell me she is an amazing artist..GTFOH>>>>while her vocals have improved b**** was going off key singing her own damn songs..who does that????..you say she has more years, umm how many more years does she need to improve..i thought as per he stans, she is the baddest..y’all are stupid as hell…heard the snippets and its a typical chris album..i am aint mad, its time to have fun and dance..i like the dance tunes he has on here..he needs to start off the new year with one of those dance/ techno tracks as a single.. they are def gonna be hits…2010 baby, here we come…graffit drops, december 8..like what i have heard so far and i will get it!!
ps, if gaga can have 200 versions of poker face which all go to number 1 so can chris brown.. anyways let the numbers speak for themselves to see who runs this s***…i am done!! december 8 graffiti drops!!
Sorry being competently honest this coming from RihRih fan RR is a piece of SH*T minus 2-3 songs. SORRY! I can’t be a stan for that album, vocally and productions wise I see change but final results no…. Kinda disappoint, it just seems like a rushed album to me.
I am interesting to hear the full album of Graffiti from the snippets it sounds promising.
As far as his voice is concerned, you guys must realize that it’s not really something he can help. Male’s mature differently and slower than females, and in Chris’ case, that’s just the way it is. His voice will mature in due time.
As far as the album preview, I could care less. Based on most of the comments, I’m not blowing up my already slow ass internet to listen to the preview of some s***** album I’m not going to buy.
Those who are comparing him to his ex, get over yourselves! They BOTH equally suck when it comes to vocals, so let’s not even go there…
OMG. Two Words: HOT MESS.
Better than that mess Rihanna has and y’all know it. Stop trying to punish him for fighting back and winning!
Graffit >>>>>> Rated R…im sorry i had to say it. Rihanna might sell more because she will get victim sales but her album is not better. CB’s snippets sound better than what ive heard of rihanna’s whole album with the full songs. I must admit i do like Cold Case Love and Rude Boy…but it does not compare to this CB album. I Love it! Oh…I am not a Rihanna hater either. I like Rihanna alot but i just think Chris music thus far is better.
sorry this album is a piece of s*** rhianna’s album shows growth and i’m not even a fan of hers and all the chris brown stans hating on rihanna yall just mad that she had him and he still wants her get over it this album isnt going no where i promise
