"I BOUGHT THIS CD THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED BECAUSE I REALLY LIKED THE NEW SINGLE, DONT WANT YOU BACK. COME TO FIND OUT, THAT IS THE ONLY GOOD SONG ON THE ENTIRE ALBUM. THIS GUY TALKS ABOUT HIS BODY PARTS MORE THAN EMINEM. I LOVE R&B AND RAP,BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER THIS ALBUM TO BE. HE DEFINITLY HAS SOME BUILT UP EMOTIONS. HEY EAMON! CAN I SUGGEST ANGER MANAGEMENT!!?? AND CAN I GET MY 13.00 DOLLARS BACK FOR THE PURCHASE?? I'LL JUST BURN THE SINGLE OFF THE INTERNET."

Most Unusual NEW AGE/XMAS Album EVER!

"Eamon has certainly done it again! His sophmore album takes soulful trance music in an entirely new direction. This time around, it's very clear that his time growing up as a white boy in South Africa has directly influenced his musical taste.The album begins with an introspective, yet curious take on traditional Judeo-Christian symbolism, namely the secularization of Saint Nicholas. This is demonstrated on his song, "I Love Them Ho's" as he joyfully sings about all the childhood times he spent on Santa's lap. Interestingly, he follows this up with another Xmas song, "[Fuck] It," in which his growing maturity develops a distaste for the crass commercialism of the season. This is expressed through such statements as "the presents, might as well throw 'em out." And once more, he heaps his scorn upon that ubiqutious 'Ho,' or, in this case, his favorite one-word euphenism for Jolly Ol' St. Nick, known for very often declaring, "Ho-Ho-Ho!"His lyrical expertise, however, takes a bizarre political turn as he begins to defend the policies of ex-president Richard 'Dick' Nixon, on his song, "Get Off My Dick." One could argue that his swift rap skills could be applied elsewhere, yet there is no denying the attention-getting subject matter of his song. All-in-all, this is a worthy follow-up to his last album. Eamon once again proves that he's everybody's favorite lovable hoilday rascal. And in fact, a little wink-and-a-nod, self-deprecation never hurts as he admits himself on the upbeat pop hit, "[I'd Rather Fuck With You]." It's nice to finally see a hit artist who doesn't take his own tough-guy, street-slumming, life-sucks-so-I-gotta-curse-about-it persona so seriously. Fo' shizzle, bro, here's rooting for another #1 hit!"

EAMON CONFUSED CHILD.

"After i heard this album I nearly fainted that anyone could be so stupid in order to sign him to a record company, you dig.

Whoever signed him deserves to be shot when there so many talented peopie out there."
