They're back after 8 years! This album is a perfect mix of their old sound with fresh r&b. The first half is A LOT better than the 2nd half, but overall it's a perfect r&b album with club bangers, slow jams, love songs and even a cover of 80s classic "Everybody Wants to Rule The World". Simply perfect.
