Title: Buy it... Now!
Review: Their best album, amazing. (Forever My Lady is a fairly close second, and their 3rd album a very distant third) If any of the first 6 (all ballads) tracks came out as singles today they'd all (still) be hits, that's how well this album has aged. The second, faster half, some will pass on. It's not bad stuff at all, but you really have to be in the mood for it, it's very very dark and bassy. Interestingly, Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Playa all can trace their roots back to this album, so it's no wonder it's great. I ought to only give it four stars, I don't think this album is *perfect* but I like the first half so much I gave it an extra star. Like some of the other people who reviewed this album, I wanted "Lately" to be on here, but it's probably a more consistant album without it so I don't mind.
Is the review positive or negative?
