Their harmonies actually have improved from their first album, but what they have to work with just doesn't impress. I know a lot of people may give me an unhelpful vote from my rating alone, but it's not that I don't like B2K I just don't like this album. Not that Jhene can't sing, but the lyrics are dumb and the song is so disorganized that you can barely hear her voice. They start asking if their girls would they be there if they didn't have a phone, and during the bridge they say, "What if I was ugly/And struggling/And crummy", and I'm like, "Who wrote this?" "Boys For Life" sounds like it was written in two minutes, and the bonus track "Dog", which is from Lil' Fizz's cousin Jhene (pronounced ja-NAY), should have been left behind. "Would You Be Here" uses the all-too-familiar subject of not wanting them if they didn't have money, but what really makes this song bad is the lyrics. The rest of the songs on the album sound the same most of them have obvious Neptunes or wannabe Neptunes beats. And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't "Why I Love You" on their first album? "The Other Guy" is too reminiscent of "Last Boyfriend" from their first album, "My Girl" is like Usher's "I Can't Let U Go", and "Back It Up" sounds like a generic remix of "Bump, Bump, Bump". "Everything" is great also except for two things: the fact that they're spelling the word EVERYTHING at the beginning of the song, and when I hear Lil' Fizz's rap I start getting Do Or Die-isms (as in, "Why would you be rapping fast over a slow song?").Ī lot of the other tracks on here sound like songs that other people already did.or sometimes, songs THEY already did. Everyone knows that when an artist releases a second (or in this case, third) album during the same year, it usually sounds like it was thrown together (Nastradamus, anyone?), and Pandemonium! is no exception.īut songs like "Sleepin'" and the hidden bonus track once again prove my theory that B2K are better at slow songs. Why do I say expectedly? Well, when I heard that this album dropped, I was like, "Didn't they already release two albums this year?" Now, I didn't say one I said TWO (their self-titled debut and their Christmas album, Santa Hooked Me Up).
