When I ordered this, I fully expected it would get three or four stars. That is the way most follow-up albums go. The first was best. The second was great (and awfully popular). Not much hope for the third, but it is a surprise. Yes, Marshall has grown up. His lyric roll, like, non-stop (mix of Dr. Dre and David Lee Roth). The album is full at 77 minutes. Much pain shows, more so than anger of the first two albums. Actually sounds like he will make a good dad. Be fore-warned, "Drips" is probably one of the most sexually explicit songs on the charts (and probably one of the worst on the album, unfortunately).  I really like "Sing for the Moment", "Hailee's Song" and "When the Music Stops". Much like David Bowie and Elton John, there is more there than you hear at first.
