As far as Eric B. & Rakim albums go, I probably enjoy this one the most from beginning to end. That is largely due to '92 production being so great when compared to E&R's previous albums. Apart from a few songs in the middle that I don't feel a lot ('Rest Assured' - 'Relax With Pep') it starts and finishes well. A consistent listen throughout the twelve tracks.
Best Tracks: What's on Your Mind, Pass the Hand Grenade, Keep the Beat, Know the Ledge, Don't Sweat the Technique
I get enjoyment out of pretty much everything here, but after a number of spins, I am left with too much of a feeling of familiarity from track to track. The opener is my pick from the album.
Best Tracks: Blessing, Come Runnin', Sunday
A cocky title, but he backs it up. Some really good R&B is present here, and the quality never slips too much. Vocally, he sounds quite similar to The-Dream, but his voice is probably a bit better. If you like The-Dream, Ne-Yo, etc, this is worth checking out.
I played this through to the end, which I don't do with a lot of games, so that probably says that this isn't too bad. It's a run-of-the-mill shooter with some nice set pieces and variety throughout the campaign. I don't remember anything about the story and I don't think I paid a lot of attention to it. I really enjoyed some of the multiplayer maps.

After the up and down 'Because of You', Ne-Yo hit back hard with his third album. It is one of the most consistent R&B albums you'll hear these days with a number of exceptional moments to go with that.
