What do you guys think of Nelly's sophomore album? While many people think it's not as good as her debut, i still think it's a great album.

I love both her debut and this album; they feel very different in tone. My faves off Folklore are: Try Fresh off the Boat Picture Perfect Childhood Dreams
It's a solid album in general, though; no real weak link.

I was listening to this album today, and it occurred to me that I don't recall reviewers at the time delving into how this album was a real exploration of the immigrant experience in the U.S. The album title of course points to a shared cultural experience. The individual songs then back that up, too; "Fresh off the Boat" and "Powerless" are pretty direct in that message, and then songs like "Build You Up," "Picture Perfect," and "Try" have an extra layer when you view them through the lens of immigrants trying to thrive in a new country. Other songs look like "Island of Wonder" look back at that past life.
