Perhaps the most ridiculous album to release this year, Mr. Wonderful marks Action Bronson’s debut in the album industry. Ambitious and experimental at its best, the album truly shows Bronson’s creative side. His debut has plenty of jazz, unexpected singing, and crazy bars all packed tightly into 13 tracks. The album feels strong, but it just lacks substance half of the time. That doesn’t necessarily make it a bad album however; Mr. Wonderful is actually a wonderful (no pun intended) album to listen to for the hell of it. Bronson’s personality yields for a light-hearted experience, so the album is probably well off without heavy material to digest. As a whole, Mr. Wonderful is easily enjoyable and offers the audience a very entertaining listening experience, but it fails to make a statement, making it forgettable.
