B.O.B's anticipated sophomore album Strange Clouds was officially released last week on May 1. Now that it has been a week, the sales have been released. The album sold 74,105 copies. This is lower than his first one, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which sold 84,000 copies.
When reading the posts that people have been making about this album, it makes me wonder if half of those kids know anything at all. Most of these posts and comments that I have been seeing are completely bashing B.O.B for making his own genre of music. The album goes more toward the pop-rap side of it, and apparently that means he sold out. Apparently no one realizes that he's been making the same kind of music his whole career. If any of them actually listened to his music they would know this. "Airplanes" was as pop-rap as it gets. If they liked that song but not anything on this album, they need to rethink their music choices
My own review of Strange Clouds would give the album a 9/10. I loved, LOVED it all. All the songs flow well together with a lot of mid tempo songs as well as slower ones and at the same time, he throws in the up tempo ones like "Strange Clouds" or "Out of My Mind".
A few months back, Bobby Ray promised his fans an album full of unreal features, and he did not disappoint. Of course, Lil Wayne has become a mainstay on most features lately so he was there. Others included Nicki Minaj, MORGAN FREEMAN, Trey Songz, Taylor Swift, T.I., and Playboy Tre just to name a few.
I highly recommend the album Strange Clouds and if you're looking for more B.O.B. make sure you check out his last mixtape E.P.I.C. (Every Play Is Crucial). This may be one of the best album's I have heard in years. Keep on the look out for his rock album as well.
