Common - Universal Mind Control
Anyone else pick up this album this week ?? I've only given it a few spins so far, but it's a huge disappointment. His lyrics and delivery and still really nice, but the production is a major let down. Most of the beats have a cross-over pop feel which don't do much for me. I'd have to say this is the least enjoable Common album I have.

Yeah, when I heard he wanted to make a 'club record' I had really low hopes. Too bad, his last few albums were, IMO, some of his best. I wasn't too impressed with the few tracks I heard..any recommendations for some good songs on the album? Or is it all pretty mediocre?

Anyone who's followed Common's career knows that you cannot classify this guy. Give his "Electric Circus" album a spin and you'll see what I mean. This guy has spent his entire career experimenting with different sounds and styles.
Sure, this album sounds a bit different than his last two albums, but that's because his last two albums were heavily Kanye-influenced.
I enjoy this new album quite a bit. I've been a fan of Common for a long time, and I've come to expect a bit of experimentation from him.
