4.0 out of 5 stars What to Expect from a Great Artist May 1, 2012
Format:Audio CD
B.O.B. seems to have a fan base that over the years have split into two categories of appreciation. There are those who had known of B.O.B. from classic mixtapes like B.O.B. VS. Bobby Ray or Who the F**** is B.O.B, who appreciated the different style that the Atlanta MC had created to differentiate himself from a plethora of new generation MCs (Charles Hamilton, Drake, Asher Roth, J. Cole). And then there are those who had discovered B.O.B. after his massive hits, like "Airplanes" or "Nothing On You" from his official debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray. Those who had discovered him after his debut album appreciated his catchy melodies and choruses that were radio friendly. The mixtape lovers criticized those same songs for "selling out" or crossing over form the mixtape arena to the spotlight of a new generation of MTV viewers. Either way, he is an artists who deserves respect for being a hip-hop artist that is so involved in his music creatively. He not only uses his voice, raps, but he plays instruments too.

Whether or not B.O.B. likes it or not, there is a lot of pressure with this sophomore album to satisfy both the mixtape fans and his newly acquired radio fans...
Track by Track

1.) "Bombs Away" - 3/5. This is a good intro song accompanied by the celebrated American actor Morgan Freeman's (Shawshank Redemption, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves) distinctive voice that builds up the anticipation for the album that follows. The actual song though, seems just over average. B.O.B. does possess energy, but for having an actor like Freeman "featured" I was expecting something with more impact.

2.) "Ray Bands" - 3.5/5 - I sure hope he was rewarded by the brand for creating a song that proclaims Raybans as much as it does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album of Pop-rap that is creative May 1, 2012
Format:Audio CD
Like Nicki Minaj, B.o.B is a rapper that is acclaimed for his skills on mixtapes. But, also one that gained mainstream pop fame with his "debut" album ("The Adventures of Bobby Ray"). It wasn't an easy task for them to satisfy both mixtape and pop fans on their next album. Nicki dedicated half of her sophomore album to hip-hop and the other half to pop. B.o.B's sophomore album, "Strange Clouds", mixes both genres together on most songs, and sometimes adds elements of other styles, including rock, dubstep, and even country. Its production is very pop, yet B.o.B raps in every song. B.o.B is not a typical pop artist or a typical rapper. The beats found on B.o.B's songs are never generic, there's always creativity there. And atypical of most rappers, B.o.B incorporates guitar and drums into his music. B.o.B could be considered an alternative-pop-rapper.

"Strange Clouds" is an excellent album. There is not one weak song on it. The songs include ones of various moods, from party to reflective to lovey-dovey. My favorite songs on the album are "So Hard To Breathe", "Both Of Us", "So Good", "Arena", "Out Of My Mind", and "Never Let You Go". "So Hard To Breathe" is an acoustic song where he reflects back on his past poor life. "Both of Us" is love song featuring Taylor Swift and switches back and forth from acoustic pop to hip-hop. "So Good" is light-hearted pop-rap song about globe-trotting with a lady friend. "Arena" (ft. Chris Brown and T.I.) is a mid-tempo R&B-flavored song celebrating current fame (sold-out arenas!). "Out of My Mind" features Nicki Minaj and is the most hyperactive and fastest song of the album. Of course it is - it features Nicki Minaj! "Never Let You Go" mixes country and hip-hop, and has more country in it than the Swift collaboration.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strange Clouds July 5, 2012
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
B.o.B is a likable rapper. He has a decent flow. He has ambition, something that is lacking from most modern music. He has an ear for easy melodies and has some good punchlines. What he doesn't have, as of yet, is a strong record that showcases his talents very well.
"Strange Clouds" is not a bad record. It is listenable and features a handful of good songs. But it's not a particularly good record either, as it sags in the middle section and never really finds its way again.
B.o.B has yet to find a way to really make a record that sounds like him, and "Strange Clouds" certainly doesn't change that. Too often the record seems to be made by committee, each song meant to hit a different demographic for maximum potential. I would really like to hear a record where the man had the freedom to create something that is really him.
But some of what is here does work. "Bombs Away" is a good track with a good flow and a good hook (though the intro and lead out featuring, oddly enough, Morgan Freeman is a little tacked on). "So Good" lives up to its title, the perfect song to play during summer with your windows down. "Ray Bands" has a good beat, even if the mixing takes away anything resembling subtlety and layers. And "So Hard to Breathe" points to an interesting direction that B.o.B could go in, something a little more organic and laid back.
But following the early stretch of good songs the record sags and never recovers. The title track never feels intentional, unless it was intentionally made to fit a demographic model. There's a track with Chris Brown that I half listened to once and will never play again. "Chandelier" has one of the more irritating hooks I have ever heard. And there's other tracks that don't even register because they are the very definition of bland.
B.o.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's B.o.B
Not nearly as strong as his previous works but no denying it is still him doing what he does. Unfortunately his work was dragged down with all of his (I assume his? Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great From B.o.B
I gotta say this is a great album. The variety of artists combined with B.o.B's raw talent makes this a keeper. I bought it on sale at $2.99, which was a steal. Read more

There are so many hits on this album. Strange clouds is off the hook. Bombs away with Morgan Freeman will blow your mind. So many good collaborations on this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best
I heard a few songs by B.o.B. so I bought this. I was a bit disappointed because there are really only 3 good tracks. If I had it to do again, I would just buy those tracks.
