Sisqo is probably one of the most overrated and overhyped recording artists in the business. He hastily produced an "album" that was not only too short (12 tracks, barely 40 minutes long), but was also yet another clone of the same sickeningly tired run-of-the-mill American R&B dominated by oversinging and Jerry Springer-style lyrics. Besides, Thong Song was the only reason his first album, Unleash The Dragon, sold six million copies. This piece of [garbage] is the reason why I will petition to Amazon to allow zero-star reviews!

Put simply, one cannot describe Sisqo's latest stab at pathos after having listened to it as merely "off the hook," but as off the "hizzook." "Return of the Dragon" is a return to the buoyant years after Sisqo's infancy when his innocent ears first discovered the "adult" language heard here, which he copiously sprinkles throughout each song, much to the delight of the hoi polloi audience who comprise his growing fanbase (this critic included!). Sisqo so convincingly plays the role of a 6-year-old, that one can't help wonder if his true calling is in the theater. Sisqo: part Lenny Bruce, part Noel Coward, part Marvin Gaye, part post-burial 2 Pac, part Carlton Coon Congoid multiregional model--100% THUG!

If you are you still reading this, stop immediately! The longer you read this the longer the lines at Tower Records will be! Get all g'd out, get ya wallet out, and go buy this album now!

Normally, I would expect better from Sisqo and Nokio(his Producer), but damn. Only two worthwhile tracks on this CD. And before all the teenage girls start making reviews about it being the best CD ever, read this well. Can I Live is possibly one of the best club tracks sisqo has ever made along with Thong Song. This song should be aired more on the radio. Theres a secret gem of a track called Without you, Let me just tell you that I pray this song will make it on the new Dru Hill CD. This track is excellent, everything about it makes it an instant classic. The rest of the CD is lackluster. Nothing memorable or even worth playing on Hot97 or MTV. I made sure this review was first because as a consumer would you really want to listen to the opinion of a teenage girl addicted to sisqo, end up buying the album then spitting on it? My suggestion would be to download the MP3 of those two songs or pray they become singles, dump the rest of the album in the trash.

Sisqo is back with his sophomore effort "Return of Dragon". I loved it after my first listening. The CD is short (about 45 minutes) and most of the songs are very good. This album is not for younger audiences; Heed the parental advisory label!! The only songs I didn't like were "Dance for Me" and "Off The Corner". My favorite of all was "Without You" (featuring Dru Hill). Its loopy strings and harmonies make it sound like a long-lost Broadway musical number. I think Sisqo has proved he can stand on his own on this album. If you liked "Unleash the Dragon" or any Dru Hill songs, check this one out. You won't be sorry. A very promising "Return" for Sisqo!!

This album sums up almost everything that's wrong with modern r&b: talk-show lyrics, oversinging, and shallow macho posing. Sisqo clearly has the voice, but his ego runs amok on this CD. I didn't care for his last album, but at least he showed some promise. I'm not so sure this time around. This record flopped almost immediately after the release, and one listen is all it takes for you to see why.
