sad to think a record of this quality was kinda the reason common fell off commercially wise

It's different compared to his other albums, yes, but definitely not a bad album. Neptunes went crazy on that album.

Anyone who thinks Universal Mind Control is a continuation of Electric Circus has listened to neither. [4]

This Album is one of the reasons why I have this gun to my head and I have been wondering, WTF happen to Common and Hip Hop?

This is definitely not his best, but it is great commercial hip hop. I listen to this when I take road trips. It fits in nicely with Dorrough, Soulja Boy, Weezy for my fun music and it helps me stay up on those long 6 hour trips back and forth from college. This album still manages to shit on Soulja Boy & Weezy's music, so I don't see the problem.

I'm still on the fence about how I feel about this album. Hopefully it will grow on me, because I've loved all his past work.

is it me or has "make my day" the same beat as "green light" by John Legend / Andre 3000??? Quite a surprise this album. First he only puts 10 songs on there, then it's totally different from Finding Forever, which is ok, I mean if want sth like Finding Forever then I listen to that album. it's different from his past album but is it really new? I've heard my share of Neptunes tracks back in 2006 or so... but it's listenable. His voice and lyrical flow is top notch, but it's not mainstream enough to be a pop-album and not hip hop enough to get street cred, so it'll fade quickly I believe. And an album that I'll keep listening to for years to come that's what I really expect from an artist as talented as Common.

i am not closed minded i enjoyed 808's and i listen to a vast amount of music i love the neptunes producing and common is a lyrical genius but the album gets anoying its too much of the same if i wanted poppy half ass rap i wouldnt choose common i do like gladiator and umc just because it reminds me of afrika bambata its a diffrent and i like it but not the album i wanted to hear

betoonking: you think that liking the album isn't an option. You basically said if you like this album, you're not a real Common fan and if we disagree we should shut the fuck up. This isn't even comparable to any Common album except maybe Electric Circus, just like 808s isn't comparable to College Dropout or Late Registration. Take it for what it is, if you were expecting a classic "hip hop" album from Common it's coming in 2009. People try to be different, everyone hates. Everyone does the same thing, people beg for something different. Make up your fucking minds already.

I love Common and I love N.E.R.D. Thus I love this album. Sure it's not what you expect out of Common but he tried something new and it worked. I think the negative reviews just show that people are terrified of new things. Be more open-minded. Common's lyrics may not be as "deep" as usual but his work here is still pretty darn good and the tracks are tight. "What a World" and "Gladiator" are up with Common's best.

Not impressed, but damn@people saying it's the worst album of the year. LoL I guess we all have different tastes. We should all at least be glad he didn't go auto tune/vocoder on us.
