Flo Rida releases an Excellent CD
11 April 2009
Format:Audio CD
I have to say I am very surprised to read the bad reviews of this album. I buy lots of CDs, lots and lots of them, and this is one of the very best I have bought lately. This album rocks and moves from the beginning until the end. There is no bad song on here. I have to wonder what people were wanting or expecting from it. Are they taking the title too literally and expecting a boring album with Flo Rida talking about the bad things of "overcoming the struggle" instead of realizing that maybe he is speaking of another "route to overcoming the struggle?" There are after all different routes available. I expect that more good reviews will come in as more people hear it. I for one highly recommend it. I have listened to it all the way through several times now and I expect to listen to it several more times. That is not true of many of the CDs I have in my large collection of various types of music. Also while the song "Right Round" is a takeoff of the old song by Dead or Alive I don't think the two need to be compared. They are different songs and if you want the Dead or Alive song, then go buy the Dead or Alive CD. Hey, I have it. Don't buy Flo Rida so you can make a comparison where there is none. The main thing I have learned from the reviews of this album so far is to not depend on these reviews for my purchases of CDs in the future.

Filled With Great Hooks and Hit Singles
4 April 2009
Format:Audio CD
Given the heavy sampling of past hits and the endless parade of all-star guests, it is tempting to write this album off as nothing more than a guilty pleasure. But really, that would be selling Flo Rida a little short, because he accomplishes what he intends to do here - create about an hour of hooks, driving beats, and melodic jams that will be tearing up the airwaves and get heavy rotation in clubs all summer long. There is nothing new or innovative here, and actually, in some form or another, you've probably heard all of these songs before. But man, this guy can bring the hooks. He may not be original, but this album entertains, and it is impossible to sit still while it is playing. My only real criticism is that, by looking at the album cover, one would be inclined to think Flo Rida would elaborate a little more on his roots and the struggles he has overcome. He plays it a little too safe at times. But hey, lets face it, everything in music has been done already...and if you are not at all concerned with trying to reinvent the wheel, why not create an album that simply rocks? What I'm trying to say is that Flo Rida is not Prince, and he knows that. And rather than trying to stretch his talents too far and letting down his longtime fans, he does what he does best here and it works.
Whatever Flo Rida lacks by way of innovation, he makes up for that with a stubborn consistency and a knack for huge, killer hooks. 3.5 stars.

Best Full Album in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 May 2009
This is the best album from top to bottom that we've heard in a long time. If you love beats and just down right off the chain cuts, this is the album for you! There is about 10 songs that could be singles off this. R.O.O.T.S is a 9.0!
