Advantages: Fantastic Lyrics and Ja Rule features! Disadvantages: A couple of the songs were way too average
This 13 track album was Sisqos first solo offering. I've had it for years, and also have the rather predictably named second album "Return of the Dragon". I love them both.
The first track, 'Unleash the Dragon', is one of my favourite on the album. It starts quietly, then the drums enter and Sisqo's voice enters with "Here I come, niggas hold me back,". This tune is catchy and bouncy. Real top quality R n B. It's the type of track that has you ...

Sisqo Unleashed Review ofUnleash The Dragon [ECD] - Sisqoby
coolj
Advantages: Sisqo's amazing and unique voice. Varied tracks. Disadvantages: A few average tracks.
After years of singing, performing and living with his group, and best friends, Dru Hill,Sisqo finally went solo and released his first album "Unleash The Dragon". The first two released songs, "Got To Get It" and "Thong Song" give the impression that this album is full of fast RnB tracks. However, this album bares more resemblence to Dru Hill albums of old rather than than the new Destiny's Child album. This means pop fans are unlikely to take to ...

Advantages: Thong Song, Unleash the Dragon. Disadvantages: Most of the Others.
...impressed by sisqo's new(ish) album, Unleash the Dragon. All of the singles from it; Thong Song, Unleash the Dragon and Got to Get it are all lively and are quite good. However, the rest of the album is all slow and soppy songs telling us how great he is and all the girls he gets - which are probably all lies as no-one gets girls with hair like that. In my opinion he should stick with Dru Hill.
The albums isnt bad enough to throw away although it ...

DON'T got to get it Review ofUnleash The Dragon [ECD] - Sisqoby
the_cheeky_monkey
Advantages: three truly top tunes Disadvantages: the rest are poor
...groove to it and certainly, unleash the dragon (the single) did not dissapoint.
as a result, i didn't need much more persuading to go and get the album for myself, expecting a vibrant collection of wicked tunes which (like the three named above) really get you off your arse and moving. sadly, it was not to be. obviously, i had only heard of these three tunes for a good reason: their the only ones that really stand out in the entire album - the rest ...

Advantages: Few good songs and how could you not get the Tong Song Disadvantages: Gets a bit same-y
After the Thong song how could I not get this. Loads of women in the Video and him with white hair, strange but yeah ok I'll give it go. Got it and ok, not brilliant but then after a hit like that I spose you can't expect the whole album to be as good. There's abotu three others songs on the album that stand out but the rest are pretty normal songs. No doubt he'll release some more songs from the album but they won't do so well.
All in all, the album ...

Advantages: Thong Song, Unleash the Dragon. Disadvantages: Most of the other songs on the album.
Personally i didnt think of much of sisqos first solo effort, although a few of my friends think its good. The songs that he released from it are all lively and are quite good (which is why i bought it in the first place), but on the album, the rest of the songs (except one) are all slow and soppy songs, telling us how great sisqo is and how many birds he gets. They're all probably lies cos no girl would go for someone with hair like that!!!
He should ...

"got to get it" Review ofUnleash The Dragon [ECD] - Sisqoby
emilie2k
Advantages: good music originality Disadvantages: explicit lyrics
'Unleash the Dragon' is a great compilation of Sisqo's finest music. Not only does it include the huge success 'Thong Song', but a whole range of songs to keep one entertained. On a whole, his music is a well balanced combination of pop and r&b. The songs are extremely catchy, and they will leave you reciting the lyrics for hours. I found this album enjoyable and frequently play it over. In some instances however, the purchaser may find some of the ...

Advantages: All good tracks Disadvantages: Track arrangement
When i first saw the album i was sceptical but i bought it for my brothers birthday, however i heard "Got To Get It" on the radio and loved it so i decided to listen and what i found was a mixture of fast moving R&B also some slow soul. He is less of a sooul singer than he is at faster pace R7B, but when he sang "Incomplete" and "Enchantment Passing Through" that basically sealed the deal. It is ful of energy and emotions, this album really was what ...

Advantages: excellent sound track for a romantic early night Disadvantages: may be too explicit for some ears
Of course if you are thinking about purchasing this album,chances are you will have already heard at least one track from this artist. Sisqo MUST be best known for the "THONG SONG"Played in all the clubs around the time of release(a fun excuse for men and some times women to make those thong comments whilst being very drunk on the dance floor!!!)
UNLEASH THE DRAGON / INCOMPLETE two other well known hits from this album. Very soulful/tuneful indeed. ...

Advantages: nice deep songs Disadvantages: gets tedious
I see Sisqo as the ballad king, theres so many on his debut album, although he does produce the odd upbeat track.
The main reason that many fans will buy this is because of the Thong Songs success. Don't let that fool you, the rest of the songs are even better!
Not to forget his crew, Dru Hill, Dru World Order has Sisqo praising his group members and vowing to take over the music industry.
Unleash the Dragon is a great track featuring Ja ...

...only two good songs on Unleash the Dragon. Although it features some big names to mention Dru Hill, JA Rule and Beanie Sigel. The singles released from this album Thong song and Incomplete are the only two worth hearing. The rest is really not worth the money and quite frankly are disappointing.
Plus the single Got to Get it is on this album and was plugged on MTV to the Max. And I mean MAX
I would save your money there are plenty more artistes ...

Advantages: 50% Good Songs Disadvantages: 50% Showing off
...and it's very good. Unleash the Dragon shows of his voice well but, some of the songs are just him showing off his voice with not much going on. I love this album, it helps relax me and it can also get me in the mood to work hard - don't know why.
If your looking for something to chill out to, I'd suggest this. If your looking for something with a bit more beat? I'd suggest something else. But still give this one a try. ...

Advantages: you get to ogle at the pictures Disadvantages: slow songs
Whoever dosent like 'unleash the dragon' i would tink that they either listen to rock, jazz or classical music. On the album my favourite song would have to be the Thong Song and got to get it because you can really get into the groove! Their are hardly any bad points about the album but the things i'm unsure about the album is that there are more slow songs i ean dont get me wrong but slow songs are good but if you are getting ready to go out then ...

tame the dragon Review ofUnleash The Dragon [ECD] - Sisqoby
doggbizkit
Advantages: chillin Disadvantages: not as much fast songs as expected
I recently bought the new Sisqo album and found it to be really quite good. I would have liked it a bit better if he'd added more fast songs but its still a good piece of work .Iwould recommend it to dragon fans and it includes three videos(two thong songs/one featuring foxy brown; and got to get it which is a great song). The thong song remix is much better and foxy brown is pretty hot. This video also features much hotter girls in much better thongs. ...
