Customer comments on this selection.
 Trust Me
I have liked Ne-Yo ever since he came out as an artist! This album is so good and all of his songs are so realistic and soothing. He most definitely deserved a credit for this album!!!
Extremely listenable album
This album far exceeded my expectations. I bought it for the Top-40 songs and wound up listening to all of it for hours. The love songs must have been written by someone truely in love.
One of 2008's best CDs
There are some CDs that sound good from start to finish but lack the truly standout songs. Others have some hit singles but little depth. "Year of the Gentleman" is like the 2007-08 Boston Celtics -- it has some gems and plenty of depth.
"Miss Independent" is my favorite song on the CD. I also love "Nobody," which sounds very much like it has a Michael Jackson influence. "Mad" is a ballad with a great melody, "Closer" is a fun, upbeat song. "Fade into the Background," "So You Can Cry" and "Part of the List" are all quality R&B songs. The only track on the entire album that I dislike is "Why Does She Stay," and all the others are not only easy to listen to, but they're memorable. This album is packed with hits for the hip hop and R&B lover.
It's not too often that I'll put 9 or 10 songs from one album onto my iPod, but this is definitely one of them. Ne-Yo is a huge star right now.
Ne-Yo CD Review
This CD is awesome. Every song is remarkable. I haven't stopped playing it since I got it.
 3 1/2 stars. "Year of the Gentleman"
At his very best, Shaffer "Neyo" Smith is such a remarkable, undeniable talent. But he can also fall into mediocrity like he did with "Year of the Gentleman." This album is filled with guitar/drumming arrangements, decent tracks and countless Michael Jackson influences. The lyrics, or, content of the songs, are this album's most outstanding aspect. Neyo speaks on topics that no one else does, yet they are so relevant. As a unit, I am certainly not impressed with this album. The highlights are very good, but surely not his most memorable work. For his best work, seek out his debut entitled "In My Own Words."
This album, in its own way, is kind of fresh."Closer" was this album's first single. It took time getting used to. This is the type of song that you'll either love or dread. It's a different approach for this artists and all fans will not like that. This really is a good song, especially the production, hook and harmonies. "Why Does She Stay" is the piano-filled ballad that talks about a man who is in a relationship with a woman who treats him much better than he treats her. I have seen this situation numerous times, therefore, I know many won't have a hard time relating. The lyrics are sure to touch some and make others realize how good their partner is. "Miss Independent" is a track that gives independent women their just due. I really like this song because I am one of the women he is speaking of. The women he is talking about don't need anyone for anything!
The title of the album is especially creative, as is some aspects of this third effort by Neyo. But, it did little for me collectively, though it is a decent album.
