I was hoping for something not so generic.

After several listens of the preview, I feel really underwhelmed. It's just very blah. I would have to listen to the full version to form a complete opinion. But it's just really boring.
As much as I don't like artists doing covers so close together, I would prefer that he cover something that is a bit less well-known or obscure and then do it with his style and production to introduce that song to the mainstream.
I think he should team up with Bloodshy & Avant, Brian Transeau (BT), Calvin Harris, or even RedOne. I think they may be a better fit for him. BT did a couple of tracks with J.C. Chasez formerly of N Sync which turned out pretty good. I thought those tracks turned out better than most of what was on his first solo album.

That's hot? He looks like a killer male nurse. That's about as hot as a buried potato.

I think he might have better luck with this album, so long as he's not beatboxing all over it. His style of electro/dance pop is hot right now.

I am mildly excited. I love End Of The World and the other electro ballads on the debut.

I think this CD might do well- I don't think he'll sell over 300,000 like the last one but it might be received better. The dance club scene has sort of accepted him- that's his best bet. If he does that stupid beatboxing on the album, well, it'll be his fault if that's the last we hear of him, I mean, c'mon, get with the program.

Yikes! "sad song" is terrible- awful lyrics and music- how funny is it that he has "battlefield" in the lyrics like Jordin's new song- weird coincidence. it's well-produced though- but the song itself is horrible. If this doesn't prove he has no songwriting or singing talent, nothing will.

I thought ADD was a really good album. Surrender, How Many Words, End of the World, Know My Name, I Got You and Here's My Hello were all really good IMO.
"Sad Song" sonds like an Audio Day Dream reject. I don't think that it's a "new sound" at all, it's really just a rehash of the sound on his first album, but not as good.

I still firmly believe that How Many Words was a top-40 smash waiting to happen!

I always love Blake's artwork, but never the pictures they use of him. I loved the colors used for "Audio Daydream," but that headshot was horrific.
On this one I love the background and all the red, but that picture looks like another mess as well. Two strikes.
I'll probably buy the album because I respect his hustle and I don't believe his first single is the best on the set.

Yeah I don't like the pictures they've used of him either.
The tracklisting looks interesting. :) Although everything seems to have been revealed somewhat prematurely (I mean the album doesn't even come out for more than two months.)

LOL, I give up on his style. The man looks TRAGIC.
The performance was... okay. He didn't sound bad, but the low budgetness of it all ruined the dynamic. He needs to perform in a place that will allow a live band and not just an instrumental.
Ugh, I just want so much better for him, but everything keeps turning to shit. I see his potential, but I don't see his label taking him very far.
