Floetry

My mom always taught me to not judge a book by its cover. But it's really difficult when the cover's name is as dumb as Floetry. If you're able to detach yourself from previous biases and actually sit down to listen to the album, the product is just as disappointing as the name. Just a few days ago, the R&B duo released their third LP, Flo'Ology (an album with an equally dumb name) into the hands of the American mainstream and MTV's TRL alike. But let's not get too mean now. There is one standout track, "Supastar," which features intelligent emcee Common. But the reason for the song's quality isn't Floetry-it's Common, along with his thoughtful lyrics and flawless delivery. The rest of the album, however, falls flat on its face, with poorly made beats and even worse lyrics to boot. All in all, the album isn't worth $15. But I would recommend buying "Supastar" on iTunes, because if you purchase the album, you're likely to fall into a depression and question your ability to find decent music. But hey, what else can you expect from a group named Floetry?
