Let me start off by saying this is a classic album and a must have album for anybodies collection. Comparing this to his recent freshmen album Thank Me Later , which talks about embracing the fame and trying to cope with it. In this album he is embracing it in a different way, giving you a different side of what it is to be in his shoes. He gives you that feeling of having gained success but at the same time losing another side of himself. To sum it up this is a best of both worlds type of album. It is hard to tell what my favorite track is but this is the type of cd where you can put it in and just enjoy the new sound that it brings from beginning to end. If you do not have this album I strongly suggest you get yourself a copy.
