I had heard clips online before the album was available, the music was different. It gave a different vibe and was a different sound than what I was use to but it was so good. I bought the album the day that it came out. I was worried that it would be like most cd and only have a few good songs but I was shocked that every song was so good. This is one of the first albums that I have purchased that I thought was worth buying the album rather than just downloading the songs that I liked.
