Album Review: Nothing But the Beat by David Guetta

David Guetta is a French DJ and producer who has made a career out of creating pop heavy house dance music for vocalists. This latest is a two disc set. The first disc is the expected 12 vocal dance tracks with a variety of big named vocalists from Jennifer Hudson to Snoop Dogg, gotta have Snoop. The second disc is an instrumental set of house music from Guetta.

If you are looking for pretty straightforward dance pop for a workout mix or a dance party then you can't go wrong with disc one of this album. As for his instrumental work on the second disc, well let's just say his strength is in working with vocalists.

The biggest knock I would have on this album is there isn't one song on here that had me coming back for more. On a dance pop album you are looking for those catchy tunes that grab you.

Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 1 out of 5 stars for Just OK.
