According to
Aaron Hall,
Adults Only is not a comeback (fair enough), is very different from his past work (not exactly), and is his final album (we'll see). It's
Hall's third album in 13 years -- not counting the
Guy reunion affair from 2000 -- so it's possible he wasn't all that enthusiastic about his solo career to begin with. So is there any reason for
you to get worked up? Not really, unless the sound of
Hall's voice turns you on in any context. Lyrically,
Hall is raunchier than ever, though he's never flat-out vulgar. Almost all the up-to-date tricks are attempted, and the sequencing of the tracks doesn't make the album sound any less messy (a cover of
Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" immediately follows a song about
Hall's endurance in the sack). ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
