That Boyfriend song rules guys. This guy is going to be mad channelling Justin Timberlake in a couple year.
This album is QUITE OK, for Jbiebs, anyway.

pos'd. Very well written good sir, and good to see an actual opinion behind a rating instead of just memetic ratings.

I decided that regardless of the weak intro track/some corny moments and generic "club" parts in this album, that along with the AMAZING bonus tracks (one of them being Michael Jackson-esque almost), this is definitely deserving of a 4.



I have spoken

let it be known throughout the land.

Congratulations Breaking, on two things: 1. Writing a good review 2. Making me finally going from a lurker into a member just to post a reply.

So, well written review but the problem is that your review didn't match up with the score. The problem with the ratings system is that it is used as a yardstick by which every album ever reviewed is measured against each other by Sputnik users. Rating this a 4 automatically compares this to every 4 album ever reviewed. Sure this may deserve a 4 compared to his previous work it doesn't measure against anything else. You need to clarify that or Sputnik needs to have separate ratings for different genres.

So congrats, you broke the system.

Tl;dr: Good review, rating is off.

"How does this read like a troll review?"

Well first off anything about a 2 for Bieber sets off my troll alarm, but more specifically...

" But no one has really ever bothered to look past the voice at the actual music that backs it up."

Yes we have, and it's mediocre at best. "Boyfriend" is one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard, and it's because of the beat and that stupid echo sound, let alone Bieber's awkward whispering.

"Bieber surprisingly shows off a lot of influence from the energy and funky spunk of Michael Jackson,"

Not a comparison most people make lightly. You are comparing Bieber with arguably the greatest performer of all time. Trolls like hyperbole.

"the album really shows off its long list of producers in how strikingly layered and complex the albums gleaming clean production is for a teen pop record."

Hyperbole.

"Bieber doesn’t just throw the guests on a random track, he precisely features them by specifically places them on tracks that work well with the signature aspects of each guests distinctness."

Trying really hard to establish that a simple feature of the album is a major achievement smells of troll.

"while at the same time being a genuinely true pop record with appeal for masses of all kinds."

Hyperbole.

TL;DR: Sorry, looked trollish to me, and next time I'll respond to comments before the whole thread explodes and no one remembers what I'm replying to.

Michael Jackson was a showman of another league that make 4 consistent albums, create some iconic
choreograpies and made succesful collaborations with artists of various genres. Comparing him with
this kid is an insult.

Those of you commenting about this need to understand something, when I clearly state that he "SHOWS

INFLUENCE" from Michael Jackson, that in no way means I'm comparing him to Michael Jackson. When an

artist is showing what their influences in their sound, they can either suck at executing the

influences, or be really good. I said it as an observation of what the music sounds like, it has

nothing to do with quality. It's analysis, and in no way is comparison. The Smashing Pumpkins show a

little bit of influence from Queen at points. Am I comparing them to how good Queen is when I say it?

No.

He does have a point. It seems like you are rating this highly because it actually isn't crap. It may be like a 4 compared to his older stuff (or perhaps in comparison to pop music in general) but the generic club beats in the opener, Boyfriend's awkward composition, and the closer's cheesiness don't make this excellent. None of it is particularly spectacular (although, the closer is my favorite as of now).



Although I found myself enjoying it parts of it, I doubt I'd listen to this ever again.
