評点(rating)		（5点満点 fullmark :5）
Usherの5作目。メガヒットとなった前作"Confession"より４年を経て、満を持してのリリースである。旬なProducerや大物Producerを自在に起用し、今回もQualityの高いアルバムを送り出してきた。サウンド的にも新しく、キャッチーな曲が並ぶ前半にくらべ、中盤以降はしっとりした曲中心に構成し、Usherが"唄える"ことを証明していて、４年間の成長を聴き取ることができる。MichaelやPrince, Stevew Wonderっぽい曲もあり、またTrackのほうも80年代からの影響が感じられ、この辺も時代の流れをうまく読んでると思う。
