Summary: Lloyd - Lessons In Love
Comment: This is definetly Lloyd's best album. But honestly thats not say much. Because Southside was a terrible attempt to get some street cred, and Street Love's production was pretty bad for the most part. But i have always liked Lloyd because of his buttery smooth vocals. Lessons in Love is definetly not bad, but in all honesty, this album is really only good for one thing, and thats Baby Making. This whole album with the exception of the mid tempo ballad about heartbreak "Heart Attack", and the lame excuse for a dance track "Im Wit It", is about sex. But there are some great baby making tracks on this album, like the silky smooth Eric Hudson produced "Year Of The Lover" which could definetly be put on repeat in the bedroom. Or take the Polow Da Don produced "Party All Over Your Body", where he gently glides over the very sexual beat. Both are great tracks and show that Lloyd has alot of potential. But then corny sex songs like "Treat U Good" and "Touched By An Angel" tend to detract greatness from the album. But then again Lessons In Love did give us one of the best R&B songs of the year in "I Can Change Your Life", where Lloyd just gently sings over this amazingly produced mid tempo track about how he can change a girls life. Its truly a classic song. And then on "Love Making 101" Lloyds sounds like he is trying to channel his inner R. Kelly the way he croons over the accoustic guitar in the intro to the song. But the biggest problem with this album, is that it feels like he is missing something. And i dont know exactly what that something is, but there is a big part missing in this album. Its missing that song that holds the album together. Even though "I Can Change Your Life" is amazing, its almost feels like it doesnt fit on the album because of the reaccuring sex trend the album tends to have. But the one thing that is definetly better about this album is the production. The production on this album soars over the production of his previous albums. Overall, the album isnt bad, but it leaves alot to be desired from Lloyd because i know he has the talent and the voice, he just needs to figure out how to use them correctly.

Summary: Lessons in Love IS DA SHIZNITT! A MUST HAVE!
Comment: I am only 26 years old and I don't like alot of music thats out now. And I sure in the Hell don't write reviews but this album... I had to! I listen to alot of old school music & tend to stick to my favorites like Mary J. & Jill etc. But this album is REALLY GOOD! I've listened to Lloyd's other albums and they're alright, not bad at all. But On this album I can hear a maturing Musician. A evolving Musician. The feeling behind his lyrics can really be felt. The last track (1 of my favorites) on the Album "Heart Attack" sounds like a Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis production. I'm feelin it! "Treat You Good" is sooooo good! And "Sex Education" ( I'm ready to be schooled!)LOL! "Year of the Lover" is FIYAH! I'm really proud of him on this album. I can tell he took his time, had lots of fun & put extra love into the creation of this album. This is what I call REAL MUSIC! Great JOB LLOYD! KEEP IT UP!

Summary: Present for Lloyd's Lessons
Comment: Having NOT been a fan of Lloyd since he first stepped on the scene with "Southside" and "Young Girl", my idea changed after having purchased Street Love. It was Lloyd's sophomore work that convinced me to give him a chance. To my delight, I was pleased and not too fretful in purchasing Lessons in Love.
The hit, "Girls Around the World" caught my ear and I knew that I had to find out more about the album that would soon follow this song featuring Lil Wayne. Typically I tune into AOL's Free CD Listening Party the day an album of interest drops but I was not fortunate this go-round. Eventually I found a website that provided snippets of the album and liked all but one track-I was sold!
This CD is the quintessential "baby making" disc. He does not disappoint with the sexy-laden sounds of "Sex Education", "Year of the Lover", "Have My Baby", "Love Making 101", and "Party All Over Your Body". While the production of the album is considerably strong, I did take notice that the lyrics are somewhat weak. The strongest song lyrically is "Heart Attack", which also happens to be my favorite because it was strong delivery-wise and instrumentally.
All-in-all this is a nice CD to listen to but don't expect an out-of-this-world theme or lyrics. I'll be tuned in to see if Lloyd has engaged in taking some lessons of his own for a stronger album-lyrically-for his fourth release.

Summary: Excellent, Lessons at it's best
Comment: With all of the teachings Lloyd gives on this album I would surely love to be his student. Lloyd comes correct once again with a mature R&B Album that was definitely needed. What I continue to love and respect about Lloyd is the fact that he never goes into this gangster type of crap or try to portray something that he is not. He continues to deliver good R&B and his voice is perfect for the songs that he comes out with. I can't stop playing this album, even when putting in another one while driving the car, I end up taking it out and putting in Lessons in Love. The album starts with Sex Education which is a song on how he'll teach you to fall in love. "I wanna get an A" is what his student says over and over and as the bass goes in and out the song sounds just right. Treat you Good is another nice track, makes you wish your man would say these things once in a while. Two of my favorite tracks are Heart Attack and Have My Baby. Lloyd sings his heart out on both of these tracks. Lose your Love is also once of my favorites due to the fast tempo and upbeat feeling to the song.
The album although is missing many leaked tracks that I was able to find online like "I need Love" feat. Dream and "Project Window". Hopefully these tracks will be eventually released if he decides to do a re-release on Lessons in Love. The album is worth it, go support Lloyd.
