So you know the story by now. Chris collaborated with hip-hop/r&b producer Timbaland. The results have been universally panned already. So much so, that I saw Chris on Leno last night. He has traded all of this production to a live rock band again.
The songs aren't even necessarily that bad. He just dials the pop way up on the bridges and choruses, and repeats those hooks way too many times. Coming from a pop guy, this would be fine. But it's a bad fit here. The lone track that I liked, still too sugary sweet for some, is the John Mayer penned, "Two Drink Minimum". A modern bluesy drinking song. (1.5 of 5 stars)
