Editorial Reviews

Credit Sisqó for avoiding the sophomore slump and sidestepping formula on his rugged and soulful latest. Blessed with a powerful, dare one say overwrought voice, Sisqó has the power to make the phone book (or ditties about undergarments) sound intense. But with the help of Teddy Riley, among others, on Return of Dragon he's working with more interesting material. The single "Can I Live" vibrates with a fierce wiggle, while the heartfelt ballad "Close Your Eyes" is pure hankie material. Of course, this being a Sisqó CD, you have to endure tracks (the first two) in which Sisqó essentially pays homage to his own genitalia. Program the CD player. --Amy Linden

2.0 out of 5 stars Should tide you over until Dru Hill's New CD, June 20, 2001

Normally, I would expect better from Sisqo and Nokio(his Producer), but damn. Only two worthwhile tracks on this CD. And before all the teenage girls start making reviews about it being the best CD ever, read this well. Can I Live is possibly one of the best club tracks sisqo has ever made along with Thong Song. This song should be aired more on the radio. Theres a secret gem of a track called Without you, Let me just tell you that I pray this song will make it on the new Dru Hill CD. This track is excellent, everything about it makes it an instant classic. The rest of the CD is lackluster. Nothing memorable or even worth playing on Hot97 or MTV. I made sure this review was first because as a consumer would you really want to listen to the opinion of a teenage girl addicted to sisqo, end up buying the album then spitting on it? My suggestion would be to download the MP3 of those two songs or pray they become singles, dump the rest of the album in the trash.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than "Unleash The Dragon"!!!, June 23, 2001

Sisqo is back with his sophomore effort "Return of Dragon". I loved it after my first listening. The CD is short (about 45 minutes) and most of the songs are very good. This album is not for younger audiences; Heed the parental advisory label!! The only songs I didn't like were "Dance for Me" and "Off The Corner". My favorite of all was "Without You" (featuring Dru Hill). Its loopy strings and harmonies make it sound like a long-lost Broadway musical number. I think Sisqo has proved he can stand on his own on this album. If you liked "Unleash the Dragon" or any Dru Hill songs, check this one out. You won't be sorry. A very promising "Return" for Sisqo!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sisqo once again relives his youth, June 21, 2001

This review is from: Return of Dragon (Audio CD)

Put simply, one cannot describe Sisqo's latest stab at pathos after having listened to it as merely "off the hook," but as off the "hizzook." "Return of the Dragon" is a return to the buoyant years after Sisqo's infancy when his innocent ears first discovered the "adult" language heard here, which he copiously sprinkles throughout each song, much to the delight of the hoi polloi audience who comprise his growing fanbase (this critic included!). Sisqo so convincingly plays the role of a 6-year-old, that one can't help wonder if his true calling is in the theater. Sisqo: part Lenny Bruce, part Noel Coward, part Marvin Gaye, part post-burial 2 Pac, part Carlton Coon Congoid multiregional model--100% THUG!

If you are you still reading this, stop immediately! The longer you read this the longer the lines at Tower Records will be! Get all g'd out, get ya wallet out, and go buy this album now!
