Overall, this is a pretty good album by Bruno Mars.
The album starts off with ‘Young Girls,’ and I absolutely love this song. Next is ‘Locked out of Heaven,’ which was one of the leading singles. Even though it is only about sex, it is still very catchy. ‘Gorillas’ has more of a primal and simple feeling, but a good beat that grew on me a lot. ‘Moonshine’ is decent song with an R&B feel, and I’m mentioning it in my review, which means I like it enough to write about it. ‘Treasure is actually the only song that I did not enjoy. “When I Was Your Man’ is very beautiful slow song. It really compliments the album and is my favorite song of the album. At first, ‘Natalie’ was not in my favorite 5 songs of the album, but it really grew on me and now it is one of my favorite Bruno Mars songs. It tells a story that I haven’t heard in music before, and the chord change in the last fourth of the song is delicious! ‘Show Me,’ yet another song with sexual implications; to me it gives off a cool tropical vibe. Now that I think about it, I like how much variety the album has, even with only ten songs. I love the synthesizers in ‘Money Makes Her Smile,’ and it’s got a catchy chorus that grew on me. ‘If I Knew’ makes a great conclusion to the 35-minute album, it has a similar feel to ‘If I Was Your Man.’
My favorite songs off Unorthodox Jukebox are Young Girls, Gorillas, When I Was Your Man, Natalie, and If I Knew.

Something you'll like a lot Playing Unorthodox Jukebox Clean

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013

I have the amended or clean cd and download which says more about me than it does about Bruno. Just like "Hooligans and Doo-woops" his previous cd this has 10 songs.
Unlike the freshmen offering this actually has a 1960's style song reminding me of Sam Cook's "Bring It On Home To Me" in melody, if not message called "If I Knew". "Treasure" in subject is similar to his "Just The Way You Are" with a different style and beat. This has a few she took me on a roller coaster ride of love song which seem to be his favorite genre and he lesson seems to be be in the low times remember the highs. The highlight is the hit,"When I was Her Man" he makes sound heartfelt. You may ask why only 4 stars? I am partial to songs about love not sex. But for those who like sex songs and people that live love only for the moment those songs are here too. If you loved the first cd, you'll find something you like a lot playing the Unorthodox Jukebox.
An important reminder I have the AMENDED CLEAN VERSION.

Don't by the vinyl

The music is wonderful, great songs, but do not buy the vinyl record. I received the album and it was riddled with defects on the second and third tracks of side A and side B. I sent the record back and they sent me another album. The replacement was worse! Side A was alright this time, but side B was atrocious. I think out of all the songs on side B, one song played correctly. I thought maybe it was my record player, but I tested several records and then tested the record on another player, same problems. The quality of the record is poor, it wasn't produced on 180 gram vinyl. I'm sending the replacement back, and not having it re-replaced. Not worth it.

BRUNO HAS ME LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013

This album is just brilliant! I have not played anything else but this album for the last month because im so addicted to it & love it that much!

Bruno Mars is one of the few generally talented artists of the modern era in my opinion. (music nowadays is autotuned and just someone singing over a dance beat most of the time). With Bruno, comes a whole other story. He has so many different styles and genres on this album, which is one of the things i love about the album. Theres a bit of pop, 50s style, 60s, 80s, reggae...very broad...AND HE CAN ACTUALLY SING, write, produce, play the instruments..VERY TALENTED! :)

I also love that he has used the "old" way of recording which is recoding his tracks with live instruments etc and not with computers. this just makes the album sound fresh and that more real.

The only bad thing i would say of this album is it is only 35 minutes long. I need more Bruno! Enter "Unorthodox Jukebox Target Deluxe Edition" This edition (exclusive to Target) has 5 bonus tracks:
1 new song, 2 demos (of Gorilla & Young Girls. basically acousticy as this is Bruno and a guitar. Alot of things are stripped away in the demo versions), 2 remixes. These bonus tracks really give you an insight to the process Bruno went through making this album and just makes it that much better!

Most modern music is what i say "for the moment" meaning that they are good for that first couple years they are out and then they just fade away. However unlike most modern music and like the classics that are from the early 90s/ 80s and before, this album is timeless. I know ill be listening to this album is years to come. Bruno really has got me "Locked out of Heaven" with this!

All i can say is GO GET THE ALBUM!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

New Fan at 67

Bruno Mars is a entertainer but most of all a showman. The song Treasure is a Treasure. Watching his performance of the song on the Billboard Awards identified his talent, topped by those who supported him. If we are going to be entertained, do it by showmanship, not shock treatment. Mister Mars has a new fan because I enjoy a man that doesn't have to search for his identity, he demonstrates it right out in front for the world to see. I hope that he will never have a label which says "he is this type of performer; this type of music." He returns us to the era of the 60's, where performers were showman, talented, and sending a message in every song; to Disco sound; and ballads that says what every heart feels, better yet, should have felt. Best of all he makes this old man want to rock!!!

Listen to the whole thing

I would suggest just sitting down and relaxing and turn the volume up
Hear all the tracks all the way through as a complete body of work - then it all makes sense
By all means enjoy the ones you already know - Locked out of Heaven - which to persons of a certain age
sounds like an escapee from an early 80's Police album.
How about When I Was Your Man - inspired song writing and sublime keyboard playing.
You will want to do it all over again - and you will enjoy it every time.

Bruno still at his best! shame the albums not longer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2012

like most of the other reviews i was already a bruno mars fan and loved his first album which still gets listened to very regular. i think this is another great album with the usual catchy songs. i agree with others about the swearing, esp in gorilla, which is one of my favourite songs but has to be turned down if the kids are around!!!
the only reason i did not give it 5 stars is that its simply not long enough! with only 10 tracks the whole cd only lasts just over half and hour which seems a very short time, and jst as you are enjoying each track the album ends!
so great album, shame its so short!!!!

Likes, Have heard some of this before but didn't know who it was by until the band played Treasure as part of their set list. Bought initially to get familiar with the groove / feel of some of the songs . Then I opened my ears to the rest and just enjoy the album.

What a singer Bruno Mars is...it's hard not to fall in love with his voice.
This album is amazing..has one or two beautiful ballads, the hits 'Locked out of Heaven', 'Treasue' and my favourite 'Gorilla'.
It also has a cool reggae song. It is definitely unorthodox but isn't that what make Bruno Mars?
I love his honesty in his songwriting and like I said before I love the song 'Gorilla'..it's so raw and passionate and sexy!
Love you Bruno!

Wow. Bruno Mars exceeds all i could ever imagine the music he produces is amazing , unique and up beat. Never thought i'd like the lyrics to songs as much as i do. How he expresses himself in the music and lyrics is amazing. Wish there were more people like him who express themselves in music. The Deluxe edition is great and love how it gives the clean version of Gorilla and re-mixes of the other songs.
