God, Country or the Girl is different, give it a chance. After a few listens I really grew to appreciate it [2]

God, Country or the Girl is different, give it a chance. After a few listens I really grew to appreciate it; don't really like "Is Anybody Out There", though. Love "Hurt Me Tomorrow". Troubador IS holy shit good; agreed.

Come on people give it more listens. It grew on me (^_^) More commercial than Troubadour and Dusty Foot Philosopher but maybe he'll attract a larger audience to follow his cause. Alone [f. Will.I.Am] is by far the worst song off this album imo.

Singles & previously released songs are the worst & most generic of the new album, except "Waiting is a Drug"
-

I'm enjoying the new album quite a bit. very different from his old stuff, but some pretty cool songs too that are different from the EP. Simple, Waiting is a Drug, and The Wall have really stood out the most so far
