While T-Pain has never been known for making great albums, he has shown a knack for crafting Autotune-heavy hits for others, and occasionally for himself as well. His last album 'Three Ringz', was the closest T-Pain has come to producing a solid overall album. The question is how does ‘rEVOLVEr’ compare?

 One of the better songs on the set is the opening track featuring Lil Wayne, (who at one point T-Pain was going to record an album with) on 'Boom Boom Pow Pow'. This one finds the pair rhyming about how all his girls are alike, “they put the ho in homonym”. Another collaboration is found on ‘It’s Not You’, featuring Pitbull, with whom Pain previously worked on ‘Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor’. This track is dance club-ready, and will no doubt get much attention, perhaps even more than its quality warrants.

At first listen, the constant use of Autotune is a bit striking, but this gets less annoying over time. It’s best to pick out the tracks you enjoy from the album and ignore the rest. ‘Look At Her Go’, while not the best T-Pain and Chris Brown collaboration, is still a contender for the album's best song. It finds Pain right at home talking about the very familiar topic of drinking, which he has also done on tracks such as ‘Buy You A Drink’ and ‘Bartender’. This time he’s talking about how “that yellow nuvo got me wobbling back to the parking lot”.

‘5 O Clock’ is a catchy hit that mashes T-Pain’s talents with Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen. Its success revived T-Pain’s push for this album after failed singles such as ‘Best Love Song’. The album also features R&B heavyweight Ne-Yo on ‘Turn All The Lights On’. Like the Pitbull track, this is definitely dancefloor-ready with a bit of a Euro feel. Another standout tis the bonus track 'Center of the Stage' with a refreshing feature from a rejuvenated R.Kelly. On the other hand ‘Drowning Again’ is an ambitious ballad, though perhaps it is overly ambitious as the result leaves a bit to be desired.

All in all the album fails to improve on 'Three Ringz' which was carried by rap singles, as T-Pain chooses to go a different route.
