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.

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!!

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!

This album sums up almost everything that's wrong with modern r&b: talk-show lyrics, oversinging, and shallow macho posing. Sisqo clearly has the voice, but his ego runs amok on this CD. I didn't care for his last album, but at least he showed some promise. I'm not so sure this time around. This record flopped almost immediately after the release, and one listen is all it takes for you to see why.

Dance For Me ,is just one of many fantastic songs thats on this album. Return Of The Dragon is no disappointed as so people had expected, its more of a continuation of his previous album. My favourite tracks are, Dance For Me, Not Afraid, Homewrecker, Close Your Eyes and Infatuated. This is one of my listened to albums at the moment and if you buy it it will be one of your most listened to albums

This cd does not even compare to Unleash the Dragon or any Dru Hill project. I am really happy that I dubbed a copy but now I am disappointed because I wasted a perfectly good blank cd. This cd is GARBAGE. This cd got a one because they don't let you use that minus sign.

Unleash the dragon was a good album, but this one is a solid album. There are no filler tracks, and it's filled with classic dance rhythm combined with booty shaking sex, but in a classy, musical way that the artists today can only wish to accomplish. Sisqo could also sing and dance great. Definitely check this out and don't write off sisqo for the overplayed Thong Song.

How can you diss on a album like this? The beats are hott, the lyrics are of wut now phatt, and he doesnt have to star blazing artists to get the job done. He stars his own fam and he does it well. I dont know wut records you people picked up, but it must've been the wrong one. He combines RnB with nowday rap, I think he did very well on this album and I wish to here more like this as well as "Unleash the Dragon" style! I think people jes wanted to show him that he needs them to get to the top, well, to defend SisQo, he IS such a great talent and for you people, fans, haters, w/e you wanna call urself to diss on him like dat, is jes pure crap. Take another listen, feel wut music he actually created and tell me the originality of his songs is crap, u'd be lyin'... SisQo, Love Ya Dawg!

I was so excited when I bought this album. When I heard it, the first thing that came to my mind was, "What the ****?"

I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT, I KEPT HEARING SISQO SAY IN DIFFRENT INTERVIEWS, THAT THIS ALBUM WAS TOTALLY DIFFRENT THAN ANYTHING OUT NOW. LIKE WHEN MICHAEL JACKSON CAME OUT WITH THRILLER IN 1982. THIS ALBUM IS NO THRILLER, AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT REALLY STANDS OUT, (LIKE THE BREAK OUT MEGA HIT THONG SONG). THIS ALBUM FEELS RUSHED AND GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC TO FAST. SISQO WANTED TO GET THIS ALBUM OUT FAST BEFORE THE UN STEADY POP FANS OF AMERICA FORGOT ABOUT HIM. STILL IN ALL THERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS ON HIS SECOND ALBUM. "CAN I LIVE" IS DIFFENTLY A HOT ONE, INFATUATED WILL GET YOU OUT YOU CHAIR. THEN THE IS THE THE THONG SONG REMAKE IN "DANCE WITH ME" WHICH SHOULD HAVE STAYED LOCKED IN THE DRAGONS LAYER. FOR SISQO FAN'S THIS ALBUM WILL PLEASE THEM, AS FOR SISQO BREAKING NEW GROUND AND REDEFINING THE POP WORLD AND MUSIC AS WHOLE (LIKE MIKE DID WITH THRILLER)BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
