Why are you looking for justification and answers to questions that you yourself already have the answer to or should I say disagree with the labeling of essential? So ask yourself what is your true objective? Are you looking to be swayed otherwise? Or are you just being an entitled audio snob who wants to shit on others that don't share the same ear for music that you do? You even gave it a listen and still decided it wasn't right for you which is ok. ' So you stated your piece and your opinion which you are entitled. What's the saying.'one mans trash is another's treasure. They (as in VMP) will never be able to please everyone it is literally impossible but they give us options. You have to remember that this is a human curated service that is based off a panel of folks opinion. The album was expected to follow in Ushers Confessions albums footsteps. But you want to know something that is great we can swap or get credit (or even better don't buy it). Usher became the first artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay with four consecutive number-one singles, In September 2004, 'My Boo', a duet with American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys. I hear you on this because this is how I felt about the Grizzly Bear record.
