| | Usher : 8701 (DualDisc) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | This has been true throughout his career, and remains true on his third album, 8701, a classy, seductive affair masterminded by Usher, Jermaine Dupri, and Antonio "L.A." Reid. |
 | | Overall, the record is probably his strongest yet, but he still suffers from a lack of really memorable material (the singles are usually pretty good, but the album tracks are filler) and a tendency to oversing. |
 | | Because of these two things, 8701 is more mood music than anything else, and while it does work fairly well on that level, it's not memorable outside of that mood. |
