   Lil Wayne's most popular album, 'Tha Carter III,' zoomed off the charts, making it the best-selling album of 2008.  As a result, listeners had high expectations for his newest album since he was released from prison.

   With such a high demand for the new music, could this be a sign it's going to be one of the best albums of 2011? Probably not.  

   Sadly, many critics would agree that the rapper's effort fell short of his fans' expectations; his album left listeners wanting more.  Fortunately, Wayne is as lyrically sound as he always has been, giving us a few memorable tracks on the album. 

   However, his songs seem to be either a hit or a miss because of the large variety of song structure.

   ‘6 Foot 7 Foot' feat. Cory Gunz is still a fan-favorite, despite being released months ago; however, not every listener is excited about Cory Gunz appearing on the track. Some say he's great and would like to hear more, while others aren't too fond of him.

   ‘She Will' feat. Drake is a base-heavy track that has 'Weezy' making some impacting one-liners. 

   ‘How to Love' is Wayne's acoustic-driven ballad that has remained on the top Billboard charts for months .

   ‘President Carter' is  fan-favorite with a delicate beat with memorable one-liners.  ‘It's Good' feat. Drake and Jadakiss is the most controversial song because of swirling rumors Wayne pokes fun at Jay-Z.

   The final track ‘Outro' is the ‘catchiest song yet,' according to fans. Especially considering the track features artists Bun, Nas, Shyne, and Bussa-Buss.

   This album will likely reach high on the Billboard charts as well as other top music lists.  No, it's not the best album,  but the few impressive tracks should take this album platinum by the end of the year.
