About Kickin In, I think is fricking awesome!!!! It gives a different vibe and risky feeling to the Album!! I like it!! and he's notes near the end = Perfection!!! but I like it cause it's different and interesting!!!
Also, I think the order of the tracks for the first half are spot on. Because Cuckoo, Never Close Our Eyes and Naked Love sounds "similar" in a way compared to the other songs. So is better to avoid putting them together. So they added a "different" and interesting type of song in between them, and i LOVED that decision, cause i realize it very quick! lol. The added "Shady" a MJ vibe type of song, "Kickin In" an interesting "out there" song, and "Pop That Lock" one of the best of the album and Pop Gold around them to make the album feel interesting and not too repetitive.
And about the 2nd half I liked the order, BUT I would have put "Underneath" as the last song (I'm talking about the standard version = #12), cause it gives a haunting feeling to the album and would have ended with that + killer vocals, and I think it was better to put that amazing song to perfectly close the album, than a random #10.
But anyway the album is amazing!! can't wait for all the reviews and 1st week sales.
Mess.
