4. Earth To Mars (2011)
“In terms of lyrics, Bruno is on that late-teens, first serious relationship, puppy-love-but-with-fucking trip. It works. Breathless declarations of love to high school crushes, tearfully texting “omg she dumped me :(” after downing a cup of vodka and coke in your best buddz room, clumsy make-up fingering on prom night… what it do, what it do. (Note: none of that is from personal experience, I’m just an observer.) Seems tailored for dumb teens but really, a lot of music I enjoy can be like that.”
3. Unorthodox Jukebox (2012)
“Bruno Mars is a entertainer but most of all a showman. The song Treasure is a Treasure. Watching his performance of the song on the Billboard Awards identified his talent, topped by those who supported him. If we are going to be entertained, do it by showmanship, not shock treatment. Mister Mars has a new fan because I enjoy a man that doesn’t have to search for his identity, he demonstrates it right out in front for the world to see.”

2. XXIVK Magic (2016)
“Bruno Mars does it again. This is a well-made album with the essence of the old school. If you can’t appreciate where music came from, you probably won’t appreciate this album. But if you’re a true music lover, you would get it. Sure it’s a short album, but quality is great. Mahalo, Bruno for another treasure.”
1. Doo-Wops And Hooligans (2010)
“The songs on this very first album demonstrates the talent of this great new artist. He is soulful at times, pop at another time, and occasionally, he sounds like Michael Jackson–able to hit very nice notes. His voice is soothing at times, rough at others, and easy to listen to all the time. Excellent lyrics with “Grenade,” “Just the Way You Are,” “The Lazy Song,” “Talking to the Moon,” and “Liquor Store Blues.” Some of these songs haven’t hit the radios, but I’m sure they will soon because he did a great job.”
