    I think the biggest mistake people are making with this album is expecting a hip hop album. It's much more than that.

    If you go into Love Story expecting hip hop, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    Wow, that is probably the worst review I have ever read. Granted, I do not read many reviews and each person has their own opinion but I cannot help but feel whoever wrote this review has pretty unpopular opinions quite often. Not a fan of this at all. Love Story was a great album, and I did not feel like Yelawolf was whiny or Jason Mrazzy (wtf?) at all.

    I felt the same way. He went into the album very closed minded it feels like, and he decided he hated it before it even started.

    Also agree with Wolf, and I think people are expecting hiphop and you can see that people are divided, even lifelong fans however most fans that love his trunk muzik and bumping tunes are also well aware that Yela is capable of much more, and he has shown that with Love Story, and most fans' opinions that i've seen have been positive ... Love Story is one of those albums that rarely come along, that you can pop into your cd player, and thorougly enjoy from start to finish, its got hiphop, soul, funk, he has a beautiful singing voice, and his lyrics are spot on ... and Im a huge Yela fan but I'm definately not biased, if I was dissappointed by anything in this album, I would definately admit it, and yea the first time I played it , I thought to myself "wheres all the bangin tunes??", but on the second listen, I grew into the album, and now I can't stop playing it, Ive even worked out Devil and Flight on guitar (two of my most favourite tunes off the album), and now playing these tunes on open mic nights with a friend.This is not just hiphop, this is pure musical genius, from an amazing artist.

    Correct me if i'm wrong, and I could be because I'm not a reviewer myself, but i think you should not have a biased opinion of an artist which I think this reviewer has already
