I'm not really impressed overall with "I Care".
I always hated that track. It's just about the only track on the album I routinely avoid. Every time I hear it I wonder why they didn't try to do more with it. I've been digging in a lot of different musical burrows for quite a while now and RDJ's stuff sounds pretty unique to me. I don't think _I Care_ flows at all as an album, but it's quite impressive as a collection of singles. I've also decided to do my best to ignore anything concerning him in the press, whether it comes straight from his mouth or not. I intend to concentrate entirely on the records, which are fine.
