Critic Reviews
Example does a great job at playing the one note that he knows how to play, but falls flat on his face every time he tries to explore new sounds and come out of his comfort zone. While "Changed the Way You Kiss Me" is one of the highlights of his discography, the title track is barely listenable.
Skies Don't Lie - 7.5/10
Stay Awake - 8/10
Changed the Way You Kiss Me - 10/10 ★
The Way - 8.5/10
Natural Disaster - 9.5/10 ★
Never Had a Day - 6.5/10
Microphone - 3/10

Not only is this nostalgic as fuck for me as this was huge when I was younger, but these songs will always play at any club and tbh I’m not complaining
Maybe I gave this score to this record, but I see the potential here. I like his rhymes and the songwriting isn't bad on the whole, the lyrics are pretty weak. Overall this is a very patchy album - has some good moments and bad.
