Indeed, some of the songs seem a little bit made for radio but this is no doubt Atlantic Records' doing rather than Fiasco's. Many 'purist' and reviewers alike have been quick to condemn lasers because of its 'pop-y' feel. Sadly, I initially found the album to be a fair few tracks away from brilliance. Before I review the album I think it's important to say that I'm a massive fan of Lupe's work and like many of his followers I found myself praying for a hat-trick of superb albums that would cement Fiasco's work in Hip-Hop history. Apart from the small matter of Dre's album release this year, I think it's fair to say that Lasers was by far the most anticipated Hip-Hop album of 2011 from disputes with the label to fan petitions demanding a release, it’s fair to say Mr Fiasco hasn't had the easiest of 12 months.
