I'm not familiar with Chris Brown's music. I'm sure - due to his fame - that I've probably heard some of his music, but I don't any tracks by name.*


*I've heard "With You." I've also heard "No Air" (ft. Chris Brown) by Jordin Sparks.

Notes:
--20191001--
First listen. Standard.
I like the guitar solo in "Red"
Note for next time: continue with track 25 (this album is so long: 32 songs, 2 hr 3 min).
--20191002--
After finishing the album, I listened to "No Guidance," "Don't Check On Me," "Heat," and "Indigo" again (they are, respectively, 1, 2, 5, and 9 most popular by Chris Brown on Spotify).

Songs which caught my attention: "Red"; "Don't Check On Me" (ft. Justin Bieber & Ink); "Sorry Enough";

Summary:
Until listening to this album, I probably came across forty-minute albums and thought "Why are albums so short?" After listening to this album, I think a reasonable answer is because a long album runs into the risk of sounding repetitive. Perhaps it's just been a while since I've listened to this type of music - a decade ago. Overall, the album was too long without many songs that stood out as distinct. In this sense, the album could work well as background or study music.

Overall Rating: 2/5
Favorite Song: "Don't Check On Me" (ft. Justin Bieber and Ink)
