Sean Paul has been as ubiquitous as oxygen for much of the 2000s, and he seems maniacally determined to maintain his pop dominance. Paul said in 2007 that his next disc would focus on youth violence in Jamaica, but there's little sign of that on the party-hearty Imperial Blaze, which is full of snazzy electro beats and tunes that sound like pale versions of past hits. Songs like the lascivious "Bruk Out" — where Paul orders his lady to "spread it" for him "like a queen-size sheet" — are just too slick to be much fun.
