It has been said that it is not humanly possible to live up to the hype generated about Adam Lambert - but he delivers in this effort. 'Intoxicated' is exactly how I felt the first time I heard FYE in its entirety. Your statement that 'once the dizzy spell is gone, one inevitably wants to relive the album experience over and over again' is so true. And the best part of all? This is only his first CD and we will be hanging on the edge of our seats waiting for more from this man, and looking forward to watching him grow and change, and flex his talent to the max in the future. Have to give this one an A and expect an A+ next time!

I agree,I am listening to it over and over again,I have headache, but just can't stop....I can imagine how itis to hear him live!!!He is already considered as controversial, but that's his beauty and uniquness!

I totally agree with everything you said! But here is my problem :) - now I wake up every morning around 3am with the words to whatever the last Adam song I was listening to running through my head. Takes me forever to get back to sleep!!! Adam, I know what I want from you.....another SUPER AMAZING CD and PRONTO!!!! I haven't listened to a CD over and over again since I was a teen listening to Thriller!!

You may very well be right. It may well be a n instant classic already. The songs grow on you over several listens. Its kinda like a wine you haven't experienced before. You've been told it was great but until you've acquired a taste for it on your own, you just dont know. Get a glass of wine, and enjoy Adam's samplings, but do it by yourself, so you can really appreciate its true texture.

Love the Album - Adam definately delivered on his promise and gave us exactly what he said he would. The Glam God emerges!!

Great review, thanks. This album is so complex and beautiful that I think everyone is going to love it. The album is released on Monday and he will be performing on the AMA's tomorrow. Thanks again, I'm glad you get it.

Just received my Deluxe version today, awesome, and agree with reviewer , those of us that thought we were witnessing a super star emerge before us (Adam ) from day one ,can now feel some satisfaction. You are right 10 years from now he will still be rocking and we can say yea told you so. Broken Open is so beautiful , is surrounds you , is mesmerizing, few artists can acheive such perfection. Soaked , well its a track that Bellamy/Muse rightfully felt Adam could bring to life. I just want to jump up and dance to Fever , Strut, FYE, WWFM , Music Again, oh forget it, there all good. Wishing Adam well , you got it , own it !! Strut!!!

wow just wow ..i will say "i was there..& loving every step of it" it's adam's master plan!!!

I agree 100%. Great review. Adam is and will be a superstar. I'm really excited to see what his career will become. He really is the next big thing in music and as a fan it is sublime watching it happen. Thanks for such an in depth review.

This is the best review of all good reviews he got on this album. Everything you said is right. This album is a must listen even if youre not a fan of a glam rock electropop. The songs on this album are addicting, the more you listen to it, the more you get addicted. The lyric and beats of the songs are fun and sexy and enjoyable. I've been listening to it over and over. This is the first time I get excited to the album. This album is the best debut album of all time. I highly recommended this album to everyone and you will enjoy it. Five stars for me.

thnks for a wonderful article about fye, tnhks for being objective and subjective at the same time. and thnks for appreciating adam's talent and the fruit of his hardwork. this album is so much adam. and thnks for seeing its strengths and somewhat weakness. tnhks again.kudos to adam. ur r such a blessings.

I listened to FYE and can not get enough of it. I found myself comparing Adam's voice from Idol to the FYE voice. I felt that the creativity he showed through his singing on Idol could never be topped. This album is gut renching, to say the least. It is dance, happy, get down and enjoy - a feeling that I love. Adam has grown vocally and personally throughout Idol. This album shows his growth from "let me show what I can do" to "I have delivered and I am here to stay and entertain you"!!!
Enjoy the album and Adam's future in the music industry.

After waiting expentantly for something special, I was highly disappointed.
Britney Spears soundalike on 2 tracks, a bad Queen on another with a poor Marc Bolan on one too.
Sounds like sanitised rock/pop and I look forward to his next effort when he's left alone to explore his own talents, or, better still, an album called 'Well Covered' with a collection of his inimitable takes on rock and pop classics - as in the Ameican Idol series.
I'm still a huge fan - albeit a disappointed one!

I agree 100% about this i depth review. Adam's unique voice is the common thread here. The whole album streams like a radio station with an array of great ballads and super contagious beats.Loved your review!

Wow Elena - What a great review of Adam's CD. The music is addictive. It has been quite an experience watching Adam go from AI contestant to putting out this incredible CD. I hope you don't mind if I put a link to your reivew at The Glambert Rock. We are all about everything Adam. I hope the world can "handle what he's 'bout to do". Go Adam!

Thanks for great review. I believe Adam will become iconic. He has it all, looks, sex appeal, an incredible personality and the most AMAZING voice I've ever heard. I just can't get enough of him.

This reviewer just gets it!. I find myself listening and listening to this cd FYE. I find some new sound or nuance every time. Adam will take it "over the top" with his performances. He is also EXTREMELY SENSUAL visually. Gotta mention that!

Great Review, I agree with you 100%..I listened to it on the internet, and had to have it for my car...so purchased the CD pre-order..This guy can sing..there is not a track on the CD that I don't like...GREAT JOB ADAM....Hats off to you Elena..you get it...

Wow, great review, I totally agree and thanks for putting so well how I was feeling about the album. Personally one think I totally love about it is its diversity, firstly he has the talent to do just about anything so why limit himself? Even within each song there is different pacing and and interesting twists, honestly one thing I am so sick of in music today in the homogeneous nature of it all, you listen to a typical album and you really only need 2 or 3 songs to figure the whole thing out and even the artists today all sound alike, you really can't tell them appart anymore. I guess people who like the same old same old will find this too much like the ones who found him too much on the show but I think more will find this a breath of fresh air.

Great review! lovin Adams albumtotally addictive and im annoying all my friends and family as its on ALL the time!!!! (but i think they secretly love it too)

INSTANT CLASSIC!!!!! Yes Elena, you're so right. Adqm's CD will still sound fresh ten, fifteen years from now... It will never be boring. Excellent review!!!!

I don't usually comment on these review boards, but have to with your review of FYE.
You have nailed this album!! Thank you for your wonderful opinions.
This family has watched Adam from the very first time he was interviewed ond tried out for Idol, knowing this man was going to go very far. I am a 50 year old mother that went to many concerts in my teens and 20's. I was lucky to have seen Queen with Freddie Mercury a few times. No one since has had such stage presence, talent, and an amazing voice. Until Adam....
It's great to hear the Music Again.....

Thanks for a fantastic review,since I was rendered speechless by the music on this album,your words reflect exactly how I feel ! Adam's vocals are stunning,the orchestration is brilliant,you feel the emotion while listening,it's a MASTERPIECE !! Standing " O" to Adam and all of his amazing collaboraters

I loved your review of Adam Lambert's article. You expressed so articulately the way this album makes me feel. Adam Lambert is really something special, and you have captured the essence of why that is.

I love reading these great reviews. Though I don't need anyone to tell me to love Adam's music, I can't stop listening, we do want him to be well received and celebrated by the industry and the critics since that will allow him to be introduced to those who may not listen otherwise. DO NOT MISS THIS! He is awesome.

I cant wait for this CD to be released in SA. Thanks for a great review.

Álbum perfeito, Adão é o melhor, pois entram e musicas não saem da cabeça, melhores um dos álbuns que escutei nesse ano, parabéns e felicitações do brasil!

Great album. Even those cuts that initially was not to my liking is beginning to grow on me. I personally love WHATA YA WANT FROM ME, AFTERMATH & ALL THE BALADS (SOAKED, BROKEN OPEN & LOADED SMILE). Among the upbeat tunes I prefer FYE, Strutt & Fever. Whataya want From Me is so radio friendly..hopefully this will be picked as the second single.

Excellent review. I love every song on this awesome new album!!

Steve, AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8 IS OVER. Adams album is called FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. Tha means a little bit of everything, as he explores his new musical freedom. Why would you want him to stick to covers of rock and pop classics? He is Adam Lambert, not frigging Wayne Newton . Adam attemped to include something for everyone, Idol fans included, in this absolutely gorgeous, well executed album. Hard to believe you did not find something to like. You will continue to be disappointed, because I can assure you that you will not be seeing an album called WELL COVERED(!). Adam Lambert is too artistic and excited about all the musical possibilities before him to do that. Besides it would be career suicide. Guess you better go buy the other guys music.

The first time Adam stood on stage on Idol, I knew he will be the next big Star.
Since I have been around for a while, I remember Elvis's start and that is what Adam reminded me of.
Adam is not only a great Entertainer, he seems to be a very nice, polite and very giving person. I root for him and wish him all the luck in the world.

FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT is the best album release so far by an American Idol contestant or champion. He delivered exactly what he promised: he stated that the album would have songs with different vibes and styles that almost everyone would love. His voice completely covers the spectrum, and he can deliver both rock and ballads in such a superlative manner. It is absolutely amazing that he only had 2 months in which to complete his freshman work of art. So called "fans" will continue to be disappointed in him if they will constantly expect him to replicate his style from American Idol (which is basically a GAME SHOW...with one "winner"). He did his absolute best with the cover songs on Idol, but now he is generating original and fresh music so we have to amend our expectations. I LOVE these songs and will gladly wait in line for his second, third, fourth albums and beyond.

I have to say that this is hands down the best album I have owned in the last decade. I think this may go down as my all time favorite. WOW, just, WOW. I hope people give him a chance and just try it out.

ELENA- BROVO TO YOU for the BEST AND MOST TRUTHFUL review!! 100% agree. I am SPELLBOUND by this CD and ADAM that I really believe he put us all under a supernatural spell during AI!! He is MIND BLOWING TALENTED SINGER, OOZES SEX APPEAL OUT EVERY PORE, BEYOND HANDSOME, INTELLIGENT, AND HUMBLE!! WOW!
This CD has so much variety that it's hard to believe. Adam takes you on a journey with these songs. First I'm dancin, then I'm strippin, then I'm inspired, then I'm cryin!!

Adam will undoubtably be tha biggest star in the WORLD!!
LOVE YOU ADAM AND BLESS YOU FOREVER!!!

After last nights performance I change my mind about Adam becoming a huge star.
He will only appeal to a certain group of people and I am not one of them.
He is right about the double standard, but I feel they all go to far with their vile performances.

Adam is such a great singer and after last night, I feel only SADNESS

Ok I was kind of mad at Adam after the AMA's but now that I am listening to this cd, all is forgiven!!! He has put out a beautiful and feel good production. Go Adam!

I'm SO buying this album :)
It's OBVIOUS that his sexy performance at the AMAs will only make sales soar, despite the "scandal".
After that performance he's proved he's such a ground-breaking, earth-shattering star, apart from being incredibly talented and incredibly hot!
He'll be the pop star of the new generation!
YOU GO ADAM!!

I had mixed feelings about Adam's AMA performance.
But, with that said, I love the CD.
There are a few songs on there that I think deserve some radio air-play.
I love Fever.
Mada4Adam

I am a die-hard Adam fan, & of course, I bought the album & I cannot stop listening to it! I really do not have enough words to express how wonderful the album is & how it makes you feel song by song...just blown away! The album is breathtaking & I LOVE every song. I have been skipping over songs from other artists' albums for years now, & eventually, I stopped buying albums altogether, but I certainly WILL buy EVERYTHING that Adam puts out! His voice is captaviting and mesmorizing! I just love him, his performance style & his songwriting! I keep playing it over & over to hear the many different layers of his songs....OMGG, I have not been so excited about an artist in like...forever! Adam did in fact deliver everything he said he would. He deserves the BEST of everything, as this album is single-handedly the most diverse & the best album that I've heard in decades. Well done, Adam! You are the REAL DEAL & a very TALENTED artist!!! I am honored to listen to & be a part of this Adam experience! Hop on board everyone! You WILL NOT regret the ride...Rock on, Adam!☺☺♥♥

I love this CD entirely! The star is born! It is intoxicating!

I can't stop listining to Adam's album ,Its amaaaaazing …wonderfu ..brilliant music , great Vocal out of this world . Adam is really something very special and Unique ,Finally, I can listen to good music that can make me very happy.. I have not been so excited about an artist or album like this in my life and I am 40 years old .. I was desappointed after his AMA preformance but I forgive him because it was only one preformance and I am sure he learned a big lesson and he will not go to that direction again.

Adam, you have it all , we love you ... we love your music .. shake it off and keep going , you are Phenomenal . GOD BLESS YOU.

LOVE IT! GOING TO GIVE IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW FOR STOCKING STUFFERS . (PS. MY GRAND KIDS ARE JEALOUS OF HIM BECAUSE I'M SUCH A FAN.I LISTEN EVERY DAY TO HIS CD IN MY CAR AND ALL DAY IN MY OFFICE AND NEVER GET TIRED OF HIM. YOU GO ADAM.

Love Soaked..Great CD..Best of the best..

Like so many here I have been around a while too. I've seen some come and go, got in on the tail end of the Elvis generation-was a Beatle Fan, back then-- thought all good talent seemed to come from Europe for a good while. Then got hooked on watching the excitement of new upcoming singers on AI. I got super excited about some of them too. But when I first heard Adam Lambert sing, I called my family and begged them to get on board. I went bonkers. I felt that I had witnessed a 1st. And as the weeks turned out, and all was said and done-I was right! So were all us Glamberts. And I believe Adam will acquire trillions more as he comes out with more of his incredible self. When I listen to Adam I feel I can hear him singing out his heart, believing that his words are not just his feelings but they also rock into our hearts and he thirsts to do so. Addicting is an understatement! I love every song. FYE is the finest work of mastery I have ever heard. And it is because of who sings and performs it with the help of his believers-others in the industry that also know they are watching the birth of a new music genre. If you are not yet hooked listen-listen again. I believe this one will make you want to listen to the music again and again and again!

OH YES,I AM LOVING IT!!! IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL ALBUM!! ADAM HAS A GREAT VOICE, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT A NEW MALE SINGER THAT CAN COMPARE TO FREDDIE MERCURY WILL RISE AGAIN IN THIS NEW CENTORY.THIS ALBUM IS VERY ECLECTIC, EVERY SINGLE SONG HAS SOMETHING SPARKLY IN IT. YES, I AM ADDICTED TOO!!! I AM LISTENING TO "FYE" OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ADAM LAMBERT IS MY NEW FAVOURITE MALE SINGER.I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CONTROVERSY, I CARE ABOUT HIM AS AN ARTIST. AND IS GREAT THAT HE HAS THE COURAGE AND THE ABILITY TO REINVENT HIMSELF.KEEP ON SINGING,ADAM!!!!! YOU ARE WONDERFUL,EXCEPTIONAL!!

Adam has an unusual voice which could be great, but his performances leave me feeling violated. I agree with Kareen.
