A you know what's more sad, that this album probably will be nominated for Best R&B album / Best Urban Contemporary album at the Grammys just like Graffiti just because of his friends in the music industry

at Chris fans talking about "biased critics". Guess what guys: critics have ALWAYS been biased, since day 1. That's why i always thought it was ridiculous how people are talking about critics to justify their point. At the end of the day, critics are made by people having an opinion, just like any of us. They're not the Bible of music. And a LOOOOOOOT of them are far from being music experts, no matter how some stanbases try to make them look that way.

If the artist is loved, he will have good critics. If he's not he will have bad critics, that's the way it is. Chris is hated because of his personality and actions so it's not surprising critics are judging himself instead of the music. That alone is a proof that critics should never be taken seriously.

Now i'm not saying the album is good, far from it. It's one of the worst things i EVER heard. But don't be surprised at the bad critics, even if it was a masterpiece it would still have bad critics. Be used to it.

Agreed.

Dang gurl.

NY Times still needs to be added, correct?

Rolling Stone gave him a 2/5 (40):

Brown's fifth LP sounds great on the surface: "Bassline" is based on an elegant dubstep wobble, and his vocal on "Stuck on Stupid" matches its midtempo grandeur. But deep listening means getting cozy with a guy so reviled mosquitoes won’t bite him; Brown brags about his extra-large condoms, and, on "Don’t Judge Me," turns a tender love song into a Twitter rant against "haters." It will have a broad audience.

It still hasn't been added to Metacritic, though.

Aug 27, 2012 Fortune is another overload of poor decisions.

Oh no, this great album is back in the red.

They probably aren't judging the album, instead they're judging him.

This tbh.
