Adam Lambert may be ‘just’ the runner-up of one of the world’s most talked about talent shows, American Idol, but he is far from a second grade pop star. In his latest offering, Trespassing, he delivers one of the best male pop albums of all time, full of exciting dance tracks and a display of some show stopping vocal technique. Adam is not just a man who knows how to put a song together – he can actually sing too! No need for auto tune here.
I think the thing that really sets this album apart from the rest on the market right now is that it does something that nobody has done before. Adam does a brilliant job of blending a multitude of genres together and making them sound great. We have fun and quirky tracks (Trespassing, Cuckoo, Pop That Lock), but also heartfelt ballads (Better Than I Know Myself, Underneath), bringing back memories of how the public fell in love with the star during his time on Idol.
Adam has already achieved a lot in his time. During May of this year, he became the first openly gay male to achieve the number 1 spot on the American album charts, and he is currently touring as piece of arguably the world’s most iconic band, Queen. He seems set to pave the way for a whole new breed of pop star, and I’m all for it. He managed to peak at number 7 in the UK, and I can’t see him going anywhere fast in the near future. Long live Glambert.

Long live Glambert is right!! Thanks for the nice review. Have a great day.
I agree 100% with your review and just want you to know it’s refreshing to read a review by someone who actually listened to the album. I blast it in my car every single time I drive anywhere. It’s an amazing blend of past and present genres which equals a new sound that others in the industry just haven’t managed to duplicate or come close. I still don’t get why Trespassing didn’t sell more and still hasn’t sold what it should in the US maybe it will take more time for people to hear about it or take the time to listen. I also think it hasn’t been promoted by the label like some of their other artists’ albums. Not enough promo equals mediocre sales numbers. But it may take awhile for it to reach GOLD status but it will I just know it.
Great review…love this guy
I think the review was a great one and very accurate. I am a huge Adam Lambert fan and wonder why his songs aren’t played more on the radio? I know that Adam has done a lot of self promoting radio interviews and concerts yet not much radio time. I also know that us die heart Glamberts make lots and lots of requests. I wonder sometimes if his being gay contributes to this? Very sad if this is in fact the case!
I wonder if he’s not being played because of the ’09 AMA’s? Adam has the best voice I have ever heard. Personally, I think he sounded better than Freddie.
Trespassing kick butts! The infectiousness of the first half just makes you feel liberated! And the second half takes you through an emotional journey. The album is pop but yet has a distinct flavor of its own. This is only Adam’s second studio album and he’s already blending and making new sound music. We can expect to see this supertalented young man take the music industry into a new direction. One can say creativity is Adam Lambert’s middle name.
Thanks for the great and true review. Adam is just blown away with the positive reviews this album is receiving worldwide. He deserves every bit of promotion as US radio seems to be ignoring an album that should be nominated for a grammy. Earlier reviews thought at least 4 or 5 tracks would reach the top 40, but sadly, it is not getting the play it deserves. Again, thanks for listening and giving Adam a smile for the day!!
And to think there was once a time when a lack of need for Auto Tune was nothing extraordinary…

Yep, Adam’s definitely a keeper!
His sophomore album, Trespassing, may just be the best pop album ever, IMHO. I don’t even like using that tag…pop…because this album fits in a genre all on it’s own.
You can’t label greatness.
You can only marvel at it and enjoy it.
That’s how I feel about this lush collection of songs on this album. There’s not a song I don’t like, and that’s so rare! I usually buy an album, download 2 – 4 songs that I like, then shelve the rest.
With Trespassing, I’ve tumbled ass over proverbial applecart for every single song, in one way or another, so playing the full album on a recent road trip to see Adam in concert in Indio & Costa Mesa, CA was a pleasure for me!
This album has at least a dozen great singles on it, maybe more…the shelf life is exponentially longer by far than anything else currently out there. Adam has hit this one outta the park!
Good on ya, dude…this album kills it!
Ciao,
Bren
