"Bad Boy strikes again seems like they are on the right track in gaining crediablity once again with the release of Black Rob's Life Story .. Now the release Carl Thomas debut Emotional.. So far this year in R n b you might have a cd that you have to continue hittin the fast forward button . There are only two c.d's so far this year you dont have to do it Joe's My Name Is JOE and Carl Thomas EmotionalCarl Thomas has an exceptional vocalist you have heard him on other Bad Boys artist release.. Now he finally steps out on his own with an cd that is sentinemental, Soulful... Carl's style will remind you of the early 70's- mid 70's .. The days when the topic was true love he sings about..If there is a flaw with this cd it's some of the production but over all .. Majority of the songs here will make you forget some of it's flaws.. This still deserves 5 stars.. Stand out tracks I Wish Cold Cold WorldSummer Rain Lady Lay Your Body Special LadyIf you like taste of old-school romantic soul this is the cd for you.. This brother going to be around for sometime to come.."

"I disagree with Rickey Wright. The BEST part of this album is that Puffy is nowhere on there. This CD is definitely for cats who like to listen to good music without all the overdone machismo ("baby, I can do this and that...") and unneccesary rap(pers). He speaks words a man or woman in touch with their "emotions" could only understand. If all you like is sex-you-up, rub-you-down, kick-you-out, pimp tunes, you may be dissapointed. I've listened to this CD about 25 times and I haven't grown tired yet. I bought David Hollister's "Ghetto Hymns" shortly afterwards and didn't get that same feeling I got after hearing "Emotional".From a musician stand point, his voice, his falsettos and the background vocals all go together with the music. Even though the samples could have been more HIDDEN, he still comes off tight over the beats. The Biggie beat in "Woke Up..." kinda fooled me the first few listens.I'll admit I know Carl Thomas through a family member so you know I had to buy the album just see what he sounded like and to listen to it with a very critical ear ...and I haven't been disappointed yet.If you don't have it, try it and buy it. If you have it, enjoy it!-Ken J."

"This new one from Badboy is tight and pushing this up by a month was no mistake. Poeple might recognize a lot of beats and tunes here because some of them are hooks from old songs(as we know badboy for doing). Overall it's half and half between old and new beats and sounds. The ones that he re-did have a new sound or beat to it so it sounds almost like a diferent song. Let me break down the cd for u: Tracks: 1- This track is the gospel intro where he sings thanks to god. Good intro. He is like the male version of faith evans2- Emotional is one of the best tracks on the cd. I think it's the next single. The bass line and smooth beats will have u playing this over a nd over. Tight3- This track is the reason I got this cd. Another smooth tight one where he plays the piano and talks about someone who he wishes he could be with. Lyrics and beats are tight. this will grow on u.4-Another interlude. It could have been a song. Him playing piano 5-This song reminds me a lil bit of the song "poison" from bell biv devoe in the beginging when it starts up. Another tight track..the most hip/hop track on the album6- This is a tight slow jam. Sounds like something from back in the day.7-Another interlude. You can't really understand what he's saying. It could have done without it but it builds up to the next song.8-Anyone who knows biggie will recognize the beat instatly. This is another hip-hop track. It's aiight.9-Another slow jam. It's aight10-This track is a tight slow Jam. Talking about how cold the world is but long as he's with his girl..it's aiight11-Another interlude..sounds like spoken word poetry. U will think of "Love Jones" the movie when u hear this.12-Fastest track on the album. This is another tight one. 13- This track right here? Betas out every slow jam on the album. Tightest slow jam track. This is for getting next to that special somebody and just chillin. 14-A laid back ballad. Makes u think back. It's good15-This sounds like something form sade, but it's a tight track and I think this might be out in the summer for the single. This is another tight track.16- This track is another tight slow jam and the lyrics are deep. My friend turned me on to this track and now we both trip anytime we hear it. 17-This sounds like it could be an R.kelly jam but It goes into a timberland beat. Over all it's a smooth song. Overall this is a smooth album that u could play on repeat. Carl is bringing badboy up again in R+B with this one. Get it!"
