Ne-Yo - Year of the Gentleman

It seems like a gimmick doesn't it? 'Year of the Gentleman'? Well with Ne-Yo's new album he says not!

Year of the Gentleman is full of pounding beats and loving lyrics. And its that and more.

I could not believe (at first) that Rolling Stone actually rated this album 4 out of 5. I thought it was another misstep by Rolling Stone. But its not.

This album puts all his other albums to shame. The lyrics, the production are all top notch. He even at times gives off a Michael Jackson vibe like the track "Nobody". So far its the love record of the of the year. Whatever that means. (Choice Cuts: Single, Closer, Miss Independent and Back to What You Know)

Rating: 78/100 (An album that completely came out of left field)
