Summary: It is an amazing album
Comment: This is an amazing album!! John Legend has one of the best voices of our generation. I love this album so much. Every song is really good vs. some albums that only feature one or two really good songs. I think the rhythms are amazing. "Green light" is witty and clever. I love the depth of the multiple chorus play with the lyrics. I highly recommend the album. It will make you feel fantastic!!!

Summary: Terrific Follow-up for Legend
Comment: I love John Legend's new CD. It shows reall artistic growth, and proves that he can do more than just well-crafted ballads. From beginning to end, this is a CD worth listening to.

Summary: Love this.
Comment: I love John Legend, but wasn't a big fan of his last album. I do, however really like this one. It has a more relaxed sound, not as in 'adult contemporary' but like he, as an artist, has slowed down and made something he really believed in.

"If You're Out There" is the theme song on 2008 for me, and I played it all day the day after the election :)

Summary: Disappointing at best
Comment: Being a big fan of John Legend's previous two albums, it's really hard to imagine this being his third album. Whatever happened to the passionate piano pieces that were found in "So High", "Ordinary People" and "We Just Don't Care"? The cheeky themes and lyrics found in "She Don't Have To Know" and "Number One"? The smooth tunes of "Save Room" and "Slow Dance"?

'Evolver' feels like a manufactured compilation of samples and beats which play in the background while Legend tries akwardly to fit in with his soulful crooning. While the previous albums lacked the big name collaborations featured in this album, this album lacked the originality and passion that made John Legend a star. And that, at the end of the day, is really what music is about.

The album title may be named 'Evolver', but this seems like a step back towards manufactured Pop/R&B that's playing on the radio. Stick with Legend's previous albums.
