The disc features help from Will.i.am and Bryan-Michael Cox.  Usher put the album together at his home studio in Atlanta with long-time friend and musical partner, Jermaine Dupri. I think he spent too much time watching paternity tests on Maury. On quick listen the album just seems a tad Heinz 57, Usher always comes off as derivative, still trying to sound like everyone else. Listening to the slower “Moving Mountains” a half baked idea that begs the question, Usher could you maybe work a little harder on a freakin’ tune? Stop stealing ideas that were tired 20 years ago.  “Love in This Club” featuring Young Jeezy invents another freeway of imitation.

Here is an artist who has spent so many years trying to shoplift every R&B singer that his own road back to himself has been paved over too many times. He can’t come home, he probably doesn’t even know what that means. One tune after another sounds like a rip-off riff, beat or pretentious “give me a break” cheesy line.
