5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive Debut & its Way Beyond Typical R&B., September 2, 2008

Very Impressive Debut & its Way Beyond your Typical R&B. Just picked up the album and listened through the whole thing and i must say this is an amazing album. There's probably about 1 or 2 dud tracks, but overall almost every song on the album is a winner. The lead single is a great song but it's such a shame Diddy had to RUIN it and sing along. Diddy can stay behind the scenes but there's no need for him to do a duet on every lead single for everyone from DK, to Day26, and Donnie. He just RUINS everything. Anyways Donnie co-writes many of tracks on this album & even co-produces, he truly is talented and i am glad he has made contribution on his debut album. In a world full of boring typical R&B, Donnie has made himself stand out from the crowd. This album doesn't just have slow jams, its slow jams with addictive beats & blazing up tempo tracks that take things to a new level. There were a few songs on his MySpace page that didn't make the final cut of the album which was a bit of a disappointment. Other then that i really enjoyed this CD. It's one of the few CDs in the world where i can listen to the whole thing without skipping. I am sure over time Donnie will improve as an artist as i feel he was forced into being R&B because he is on the BadBoy label. I must say that i was disappointed with a few R&B CDs this year & it's nice to know this CD breaks the mold & balances R&B Pop very well. Usher, DK, DAY26, and a few other singers released a bunch of boring albums but this one is far from it. I am still wondering why it took Danity Kane almost 5 months before they released their 2nd single, does that make any sense? Hopefully this will not be the last time Donnie fans hear from him and I look forward to him evolving as a singer and churning out more pop songs as well. He has a great voice & should utilize all of his talents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rolling on to Platinum, September 4, 2008

By	DKnight "David K." (Pgh, Pa USA) - See all my reviews

I've been a fan of Making the Band since the creating of Danity Kane...then Day26 and now Donnie! Danity Kane & Day26 both have put out stellar albums (despite what some of the idiotic critics may say). So I already knew that Donnie's album wouldn't disappoint...and it didn't! "Just A Rolling Stone" reminds me of Blake Lewis's "Audio Daydream" in a sense that they both don't just limit their album to one music genre. "Just A Rolling Stone" has some Pop, R&B, Techno-Infused Dance and it works well throughout the album. I can see Donnie as a Main-stay in the music industry with the right promotion. This is a must have album!

My Top 5 Fave Tracks:

1. (Track 14) You're My Idol
2. (Track 6) Pick It Up
3. (Track 8) Catch My Breath
4. (Track 2) Take You There (F/Diddy)
5. (Track 3) Dr. Love

This was an impressive debut album. It sucks that not many people knew about it's release. It would haev definatley been a huge hit.
