Angels & Demons Catfish Broken Record Never If I Don't Have You Makin' Love Love It Must Be Good to You Free Fallin' Sex Over Nonsense
She tried hard to make a mature Love and War, which means there's not a lot of tempo and Catfish is about as ratchet as the album gets. Personally, the "ratchet" records from L&W fit her personality and balanced things out to me but I also understand why so many people wanted them done away with.
I personally foresee a lot of "bland" and "boring" comments coming but her vocals (despite TC wanting the whole world to sing like Brandy) and hooks are her saving grace with me.

"Raise the Bar" is a slow burning sexy number..i love the use of her high notes on that song. The album seems ballad heavy so far
"Free Fallin" is so epic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Near the end of this she mentions that Target, Best Buy and Walmart each have exclusive tracks and there are over 20 of them in total.

The same deluxe tracks that are on iTunes and Amazon. She tweeted to a fan that Let Me Know with Future's full verse would be on the Best Buy version.

Ugh, I hate when artists do that sh*t. If you think I'm getting more than one copy of this, you're delusional Tamar.

Overall, this album is solid. As a complete body of work, I like it more than the "Love and War" album. However, there are WAY too many down-tempos that are back-to-back. I think the album could have been sequenced better, and there are some filler records that don't really need to be there. But she definitely has multiple urban AC hits on it.
On another note, she sounds SUPERB. She's such a seasoned vocalist. That's what separates her from the K. Michelles and Keyshia Coles.

So I'm glad Tamar cleared about the exclusive situation a bit but I still can't believe Walmart, Best Buy or Target do not have ANY of this information on their websites????! Like why?
Guess I will be driving all over town tomorrow to see the exclusives at each individual store.
**EDIT** @songwritertc just confirmed on Twitter Walmart's bonus tracks are "ASAP" & "Let Me Know" featuring Future. He is the producer/songwriter on Tamar's album if you didn't know.

The only keepers for me are "Catfish" and "Must Be Good To You". The rest is like one similar midtempo after another.

This album is like one long ass song. I wish she could've worked with a few more producers who could have broken up the monotony a little bit. And the song sequencing could have been better which probably would have helped too. The lyrics to some of these songs are ATROCIOUS.
But overall, I'd say this is her best album to date. It's like an enhanced version of her [first] debut album.
She sang her ass off on every song; I even like "King" now after hearing the recorded version. Her vocals REALLY save this album from being as boring and awful as it would be if someone with less talent were delivering it. It's like she said "Okay, they only gave me a budget of $57.96, and hopefully Vince calls the bank to get some of those overdraft fees reversed on the record label's bank account, so I can buy some wigs to carry me through the promotion of this album...but I am gonna use the one thing I don't have to pay for as if my life depended on it--my voice! And TC has me doing these Brandy runs, so I'm really gonna slay the kids!"
Highlights:
S.O.N -- Why is this just a bonus track? Single-worthy. Angels & Demons Catfish Never MUST BE GOOD TO YOU -- Instant slay. Should have followed "Let Me Know." And they can even toss a desperate cheap rapper like Fetty Wap or somebody on it for Urban.
