This is Better than Power, Corruption and Lies !!! Peter Hook steals the show.......2007-04-11

I agree with most reviewers that the track "All day long" is the Best on this album but I Also feel this album has the best version of Bizarre Love Triangle cuz you can Finally Really hear Peter hooks infectious bass line wich Always carried this tune in my opinion !!! The other tracks hold up a lot better than the tracks on Power, Corruption and Lies and this album seems more alternative than that album and Not so Stuck in the 80's as the latter !!! This is my 3rd favorite new order full length album. Peter Hook on bass Really shines and carries this album to its Zenith musically~ Thanks Hooky :)

(three and a half stars) the last of the pre-Substance albums.......2006-06-20

The name of New Order's "Brotherhood" perfectly matches the optimistic nature of this album, probably the band's most buoyant release, and quite a departure from their previous album "Low-Life" (a good name for that album as well). "Brotherhood" weighs in as one of the band's most consistent albums -- really, if I were rating each song separately, I would give each either three or four stars. The classic song on "Brotherhood," is, of course, "Bizarre Love Triangle," but I actually prefer the slightly different version on "Substance," the band's next release, which was sort of a greatest hits album with additional previously unreleased material.

Nothing on "Brotherhood" truly "wows" me, like, for instance, "Age of Consent," "True Faith," "Regret," or "Crystal;" but, then again, I'm not tempted to use my "skip" button on any song (perhaps Bernard Sumner didn't need to giggle quite so much on the closer "Every Little Counts"). The opener "Paradise," has a riff similar to The Cure's "Doing the Unstuck," which simply adds to the obvious connection between these two bands (e.g. "Just Like Heaven" and "All the Way;" "A Forest" and "Sunrise;" "In Between Days" and "Dreams Never End").

I've now reviewed all of New Order's studio albums. Here's my list of most to least favorite:

1. Get Ready
2. Republic
3. Waiting for the Sirens' Call
4. Power, Corruption and Lies
5. Movement
6. Substance
7. Brotherhood
8. Low-Life
9. Technique

Obviously, I'm one of those fans who prefers the lusher more complex sounds of New Order's later albums, as opposed to their earlier Techno/Brit/80s pop. However, even "Technique," though on the bottom of my list, is, in my opinion, quite good. I'm definitely looking forward to Bernard and Co.'s next album, as well as to seeing them in concert.

Worth buying for BLT alone!.......2005-12-28

Having loved the BLT on Substance I had no idea that it would be a different version on this album: Absolutely gorgeous song.

Rest of the album isn't bad: My favourite other track is 'weirdo' the guitar trills and harmony are simple but sometimes humblingly beautiful.

Definitely Worth a Listen.......2005-10-26

New Order had already released three fantastic albums prior to this 1986 release: MOVEMENT (1981), POWER CORRUPTION, & LIES (1983), and LOW-LIFE (1985). All three were potent, revolutionary records. Brotherhood retains some of that experimental/indie alternative/synthrock pop (not one adjective accurately describes New Order's particular brand of music, so several must suffice); one may also consider it a return to roots, so to speak, for it has several entirely guitar, bass, & drums driven pieces. However, BROTHERHOOD has a curious dichotomy that splits the album roughly into two halves, one alt rock the other synth. Stand-out tracks include the well-known and magnificent "Bizarre Love Triangle" (which sounds much better in this simple, heavenly form rather than its hideous 12" mix), the angsty, unrequited "Paradise", the slightly Eastern "Angel Dust", and the synthesized & orchestral "All Day Long" (which would have been far better as an instrumental, in my opinion, for the lyrics are trite and cringe-inducing). The alt rock tracks (from "Weirdo" to "Way of Life") are actually rather energetic and upbeat with decent lyrics--I don't understand why everyone rags on these tracks for being "boring" or "unlistenable." I find them a fresh change of pace for the band. The final track, "Every Little Counts", serves as an example of the rampant drug use Bernard Sumner must have gone through when he penned this album--the lyrics are laughable (even Barney laughs at himself during it!), and the music is only so-so.
In conclusion, I recommend this album to any fan of New Order. Be warned, though, that the majority of this album is not stylistically similar to "Bizarre Love Triangle." Perhaps that's not such a bad thing after all.

Contains my all-time-personal-fav- New Order tune . . ........2005-06-15

. . . and that would be "All Day Long." The track absolutely soars. Getting my vote for New Order's most musical song, it features tuneful guitars and lush orchestral treatments. Bernard Sumner's subdued delivery avoids exposing his vocal limitations.

The tracks I also like a lot: "Paradise" (laid-back rocker, twisty and sexy), "Weirdo" (rocking, cool, even though Sumner's voice is overextended), "Bizarre Love Triangle" (one of their best melodies, great lyrics) and "Angel Dust" (kinda frantic tune with some strange Middle Eastern-style undercurrent). All of them are dance-worthy except "Weirdo," "Bizarre Love Triangle" being the big hit (deservedly so). "Broken Promise" is pretty good/OK. My copy of BROTHERHOOD also has "State of the Nation," not their strongest song but pretty trippy and upbeat. To me, it has sort of an "international espionage" vibe to it. I personally have no use for the rest of the songs, all of which are acoustic. Nothing against acoustic songs, but these particular ones suck (IMHO).

I've always been strangely attracted to New Order, even though I don't always appreciate their "disco" tendencies or dance music in general. Their music often seems cold (in a good way). It's not the most melodious, but it's got cool atmosphere and their rhythms often suck me in. I also like parts of LOW-LIFE, but BROTHERHOOD sounds a little less stuck in the 80s.

One additional note: I actually love good lyrics and I especially love it when the music compliments or enhances them in some way. But I generally don't listen to New Order for the lyrics; sometimes they're good but New Order can get kinda lazy in this department, admittedly (their latest SIREN'S CALL has some particularly cringe-worthy examples). So I don't even care what "All Day Long" is about and I don't hear any words that bother me anyway. Bernard Sumner's singing is usually the last thing I pay attention to. Peace!

Blazing Latin Rock.......2007-01-29

The Del Castillo brothers are fantastic guitarists. Fusing flamenco and rock rhythms, they offer intense and often very dancable songs sung passionately by the fantastic singer alex Ruiz. On this, their 3rd album, they cut back on the instrumentals and feature more singing, some in English. Willie Nelson guests on one song,"I never cared for you".I saw them live last year and picked this disc up after the show. If they come to a club near you, see them! They are fantastic live.They are also featured on the "once upon a time in Mexico" soundtrack and the "chingon" disc.

much more fire, temperament and passion..........2006-11-12

The best what to Latin music at the moment has to offer. Music with high electricity and tension, burning and passionate guitar play, a virtuoso voice and the whole coated with a being intoxicating rhythm. Latin Music of finest ones. Very sadly that one cannot experience Del Castillo in Germany on the stage and not receive your CD.

Amazing, just amazing..........2006-08-22

There's no doubt about it, these guys are about to become a phenomenon. A latin group that sings mainly in Spanish, but that reaches you even if you don't speak a word. That's real passion.

The singing on this CD will move you from joy to tears and back again, the guitar playing will astound you, and the rhythms will touch your soul. Sound too good to be true? Believe me...I haven't done it justice!

Incredible!.......2006-06-17

I had never heard of Del Castillo until a few days ago when they appeared at the Pittsburgh Art Festival. I can honestly say that they are by far one of the best bands I have ever seen. The stage presence is spectacular, the songs are terrific, and the guitar playing is indescribable. I promptly purchased this CD at the show and I love it. I am eagerly awaiting the other two previous CDs. I can't rave enough about Del Castillo. I hope they get the fame and recognition that they deserve as they far surpass the popular bands that we typically hear all over the radio (and television) waves.

who sings "black shadows".......2006-10-11

her voice is so hauntingly beautiful for lack of a better description. who is she? thanks for any info
Judy

Superb music.......2000-03-30

I fell in love with one of these songs included in a Celtic collection and the album has more than lived up to my high expectations. The range of musical styles and virtuousity of this musician is staggering. It's one of my all-time favorite albums. The songs are all traditional, but "tradition" does not equal "stale and lifeless"; Nunez respects tradition enough to give it new life. Highly recommended. I'm eagerly waiting for more from him.

Carlos Nunez: One of the worlds pre-eminent pipers.......1999-02-23

I saw Carlos in concert with the Chieftains in Richmond VA last year, and was absolutly mesmerized. I immediatly added "Brotherhood of Stars" to my (complete) Chieftains collection. Carlos has collaborated on several of the Chieftains CDs, (he is sometimes referred to as the seventh Chieftain). If you are a Celtic music fan, or a Chieftains fan, (or a fan of pipe music in general) then you owe yourself the pleasure of hearing Carlos Nunez's "Brotherhood of Stars", it is truly amazing. Additionally, give Carlos's participation on the Chieftains "Santiago" a listen, I promise you will be completly taken by the mixture of the gaita and uillean pipes, pure listening magic.

Nuñez breathes new life into the celtic music of Galicia.......1999-02-16

Carlos Nuñez demonstrates his skills in this enjoyable album of contemporary Galician music. He is considered in Galicia the best gaitero (Galician bagpiper) in the world, and he showcases his talents using the gaita and also the recorder. His abilities on the Galician bagpipe (gaita) are remarkable, and the sweet melodies are quite moving. "The Brotherhood of the Stars" should not be held as an album of typical Galician folk music. There are however wonderful tracks which do exibit beautifully performed examples of Galicia folk culture (especially Negra Sombra, Os Gaiteiros da Noite, and Cantigas). Definitely a must-buy. Notable as well for the collaborations with many prominent world musicians, including Luz Casal, Dulce Pontes, Kepa Junkera, The Chieftans, Ry Cooder, Wenceslao "Polo" Cabezas, and many more.

Brilliant.......1998-11-10

I purchased this CD at the recommendation of my Spanish friends in Madrid -- they said it was their favorite; it has since become mine. The music recreates an authentic Galician atmosphere - especially track four Negra Sombra -- the voice of Luz Casal deserves to be heard.

Hearing the gaita played is an auditory experience (it is closely related to the Scottish bagpipes but sounds less strident) and the rest of the wind instruments are superb! Talk about dexterity.

Album Description

Music was originally a communal act. It was utilitarian and, in a way, magic - it made work easy. Music was also a reflection of the nascent social order, with one lead voice and the rest responding. The first solo music was therefore a powerful act of liberation, of spirit. This recording contains a great diversity of solos; more than a millennium separates the oldest from the most recent; there are solos for flutes, reeds, brass, lutes, zithers, fiddles, piano, percussion, and voice; the music comes from the Near East, the Far East, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. But despite the contrast of instruments and styles, what gradually becomes apparent is the similarity beneath the surface of these works. Soul Alone: The Art of the Solo suggests that there is some fundamental distinction about the way musicians express themselves in a solo setting - something that defines the Art of the Solo.

This is some of the most personally felt music the world's greatest traditions have to offer. If the act of making music is a personal one, so too is listening. Music was always meant to be listened to - by other people, or by something else, whether you call it God or nature or by another name. And that is the reason for Soul Alone: The Art of the Solo. Because after all, music can be performed alone, and heard alone, but it is still a communal art, meant to be shared. Perhaps it only truly becomes music when it is shared.

Album Description

Reissued 1971 album. One of South Africa's most distinguished Jazz pianist McGregor, an ex member of the Bluenotes, released the LP in 1970 on RCA's neon label. Assisting him on the six-featured tracks were the likes Dudu Pukwana, Harold Beckett and Louis Moholo, in other words the finest jazz musicians of the late 60's.

Customer Reviews:

Gorgeous.......2007-07-10

I can't imagine anybody not loving this music at first listen. Comparisons to Mingus are very apt, as this music not only slashes, bubbles, sings and rumbles: it also also possesses an elegance that comes right out of Ellington. Dudu Pukwana and Mongezi Feza play magnificently, McGregor was a wonderful composer/arranger/pianist and the band includes extremely accomplished soloists, many of whom are content to play a purely supportive role. This is one of the most beautiful - and most important - big-band jazz albums, period. Get it before it becomes ridiculously expensive again!

Stunning.......2001-10-12

This great album by a legendary band has long been unobtainable, vinyl copies change hands at high prices. The music is similar to some of Mingus' work, but with the township jive feel replacing the funky gospel of Mingus. The soloists are 1st rate, Dudu Puckwana and Mongezi Feza stand out. This is passionate music played from the heart by an extraordinary band at its peak. Bravo Chris Mcgregor!

Joyful Noises.......2001-03-17

One of the absolute key documents of British jazz (or indeed post-Ornette jazz of any nationality), this is the 1970 Joe Boyd-produced debut album by the big band formed by the exiled South African pianist and composer Chris McGregor. Basically an extension of his working band the Blue Notes (from whose ranks appear trumpeter Mongezi Feza, altoist Dudu Pukwana, tenorman Ronnie Beer and drummer Louis Moholo, with fellow SA expatriate Harry Miller on bass) utilising the finest cutting-edge British players of the time. The sax section is completed by the "SOS" team, i.e. John Surman, Mike Osborne and Alan Skidmore; from the Keith Tippett Group come cornettist Marc Charig and trombonist Nick Evans; and the line-up is completed by trombonist Malcolm Griffiths (from the Mike Westbrook band, as were Miller, Surman and Osborne) and the great West Indian trumpeter Harry Beckett. The opening track, "Mra," is five minutes of insistent riffing and rhythm (used in fact for many years as the theme tune of BBC Radio 3's "Jazz Record Requests") and cries out to be sampled. Wonderful interplay between the different sections, slightly reminscent of Tadd Dameron. The next track "Davashe's Dream" is a bittersweet ballad feature for the simultaneously caressing and slashing alto sax of Pukwana, combining lyricism and pain in a haunting way (there's also a great, slightly sardonic trumpet solo from Feza). More riffing in "The Bride" with Surman's Coltranesque soprano rising above the ensemble and knitting impeccably with the unbeatable Miller/Moholo rhythm team. "Andromeda" is a terrific, light-hearted avant-Basie swing romp with some outrageous playing from Feza and Evans (Wynton Marsalis would hate it!). The centrepiece of the album, however, is the extended 20-minute workout "Night Poem," an intricately-constructed ambient dreamland with riffs drifting in and out of focus; Indian flutes and African xylophone interacting with the free playing (Beckett, Griffiths and Osborne - on clarinet - being the most discernible). To finish with, the that's-all-folks 200 mph one-minute sign-off of "Union Special." If you dig this you should also seek out "Live At Willisau" recorded in 1973 and reissued on the independent Ogun label on CD in Europe in 1994 (and still, to my knowledge, available). Evan Parker and Radu Malfatti also appear on the latter and drive the music into even more abstract (and sometimes prototype punk-jazz) territory.

Gotta' add this one to your "Soul-Jazz" collection.......2003-12-13

This is great classic Soul-Jazz from Prestige Records in 69'. Two albums on one disc- "The Soul Brotherhood" with Charles Kynard (organ), Blue Mitchell (trumpet), David Newman (sax), Grant Green (guitar), Jimmy Lewis (bass) and Mickey Roker (drums)-this one isn't as funky as the next, but with Grant Green and Jimmy Lewis holdin' it down how can it be bad. The next one is "Reelin' with the Feelin' with Charles Kynard (of course on organ), Wilton Felder (sax), Joe Pass (guitar), Carol Kaye (bass) and Paul Humphrey (drums)- this band gets pretty funky on cuts like "Slow Burn" and "Boogalooin'". I actually checked this out because of Paul Humphrey- he's the funky drummer on Jimmy Smith's Root Down album another favorite of mine. I have a good amount of jazz in my collection and I was hesitant to pick this up, but I'm glad I did- it's now one of my top picks. If you like jazz, funk or soul jazz (funky organ music) you will definately dig this.

Angry Shriek of a Demented 21st Century.......2005-04-15

Now *this* is what I'm talking about.

"Brotherhood of the Bom" is a shotgun blast of black talon ammunition fired across the bow of a saggy, decaying, elderly hip-hop.

Techno Animal has burned out a nasty, ferocious little beast of a CD that welds its sick lyrics, mad tones, wilds shrieks, discordant little symphonies, takes everything you ever thought you knew about techno, industrial, hip-hop, D&B, and assembles all of it, runs it through a band-saw, and forges a classic in experimental noise-revolution.

Seriously: this is the real stuff.

It's all about the reverb: listen to the mad, crazy, threatening noise of "Cruise-Rubberoom"---the crisp, hellish, speaker destroying Reverb, the dissonance, the crackling Feedback: this is the shrieking, brain-blasted soul of the 21st century, the age of machines assimilating flesh.

Distortion.

Sneaky shrieking cross-cuts interspersed with white noise, white noise amped up a thousand times, music you can cruise around to and watch all the decent, scared little rabbit-citizens of the world get all nervous and try not to stare.

"Brotherhood of the Bomb" is good music to crush, destroy, burn, pillage. If Attila the Hun had listened to Techno Animal, he might have left an Empire destined to rule the Galaxy.

Check out "Robosapien", or the culminating track "Hell", or "Piranha": check out any of the tracks. Let the industrial corrosion flow into you. Get polluted. Techno Animal is the most experimental group out there on the edge, and by slicing and dicing the Noise they have captured the birthing scream and caterwaul of a New, Brutal, Violent Century.

This is music to destroy cities to. Enjoy.

Words cannot describe how bad this disk is. I hesitate to write more giving somebody the illusion that this album is worth more the thirty seconds of your time. When I received this cd I played it immediately and to my dismay I could not even get through the entire thing. This is a waste of your time and money.

blow yer speakerz.......2001-11-14

the man with no name travelled the land and no one messed with him. why? he was the meanest dude there was. techno animal are the man with no name of the macro dub/experimental hip hop scene. this album is amazing. i would write a more colorful review, but i don't want to. i don't need to. if you like sick hip hop, you are going to get this album. if you like macro dub, you are going to get this album. i don't even want to appeal to anyone not in on the loop. hey, you never heard of techno animal, go buy an n-sync cd, suckah. i work in an electronics store with car stereo equipment. those car stereo guys, they are jaded as all get out. they know their role. get someone to buy something for their typical boom. oh, you know the boom. the boom is what you hear when you car is at a light. there's always someone who's got a 12" in the back and every so often, it makes its prescence known. with a boom. typical, played out 808 garbage that mainstream hip hop just panders to. well, if you got friends like that, just drop this cd in. at first they will think "WTF" when the noise assaults them. then they will check their speakers. unlike normal cd's, that make the speakers bob ever so slightly in and out, this cd will make the speakers flail like they were dying. i mean, speakers shudder like dying animals when this cd plays. those car stereo guys? they're cringing. they're gasping. they've never seen anything like this. oh, nevermind the fact that no one in the store can hear anything other than this cd. they can't even think. the store manager is walking towards your area with a quick pace, 'cos he can't even think with this noise. the stereo guys are worried a breaker may trip soon. customers are gathered 'round 'cos they've never seen speakers dance like this. it's almost comical how a subwoofer will pounce and bounce to keep up with music like this. so rock on, dudes. this album kicks butt. it also keeps me in the nice position of being the weird dude at work who has better music than anyone else. so don't buy it. i like my position of being able to show anyone up who thinks they have a boomin' system that can handle anything.

Noisy, Angry, Grindcore Hip-Hop.......2001-10-30

Imagine the music of Godflesh and Scorn with agressive rhyming over it. Sound scary? In some respects, it is. This is probably the noisiest hip-hop album i've heard in years, putting the scratches and squelches of Cannibal Ox and the like in check. The whole album just rolls with industrialized rolling dub menace. Drive around with this blasting, and you'll just *wish* people would mess with you. Audio intimidation, this disc is one big angry stare. And there's *no way* it's blinking first.

THE MACHINES ARE TAKING OVER.......2001-10-27

this is a sick and beautiful record, a masterpiece on any number of levels. as an experimental hiphop project it is simply an endgame. this is of course not to say that hiphop needed a bunch of trendy (white) postmodernists to recuperate it (as even the most cursory investigations into Bill Laswell's rather cerebral and empty extrapolations will confirm), but the fact remains that even the best of what is filed under "underground" hiphop is slavishly conservative and ritualized, chained to the the beat and even moreso to the idea of emcee-as-text-delivery-system. where to go from here? do we allow 'underground' hiphop to become as meaningless a marketing designation as 'alternative music' or 'independent film?'

the first of Techno Animal's answers to this question is to stop trying to make electronic music sound like 4/4 jazz or worldbeat. Martin and Broadrick love their machines and do not attempt "lifelike" emulation of conventional instruments. they embrace sounds and textures and idiosyncrasies of timing that are strictly of a machine aesthetic (the over-"swung" beat at the beginning of "Glass Prism Enclosure" is a good example....it has an organic quality to it, but the push on the downbeats is absolutely superhuman, a groove that 'only' a machine could play). the rhythms are thick and dense, constructed from a variety of machines and programs and run through a dizzying array of filters and effects. the bass sounds do not sound like they came from anything remotely resembling a bass guitar or even a keyboard. they sound (quite literally) like test tones pitched-down and pumped at full volume through the smoking wreckage of a blown subwoofer. do we need another hiphop record with sampled upright bass? with analog filter sweeps? moog? nostalgia is a disease, and the day that hiphop producers stop trying to make "proper" music is the day that hiphop will start to evolve again.

and the vocals? the first thing TA throw out is the idea of simply creating interesting backing tracks for their MCs. the music and the vocals are tailored to one another, and the production places far more emphasis on the MC as an instrument than on the lyrics themselves. the standout vocal performance on the record comes early, on track one, from Lumba and Meta-Mo of RUBBERROOM, but you will have to listen to the song five or six times before you start to pick up on what is actually being said. what you WILL notice right away is the extreme sonic character of the vocals and the way they interact with the music. this is the record i WISHED Cannibal Ox or Mike Ladd would have made, a thoroughly forward-looking odyssey that reshuffles the deck and experiments with hiphop at every level, from song structure to the way the various instruments and vocals are arranged in the mix.

The Doobies' Reunion Was Definitely Worth The Effort.......2007-04-25

BROTHERHOOD proves that the Doobie Brothers' reunion was definitely worth the effort. This album includes the hard-rocking "Divided Highway", arguably the band's best song since the STAMPEDE album, as well as the crunching "Dangerous." This CD proves that, despite years of Michael McDonald, the band could successfully recapture the gritty ambience of the early days. The surviving members' belief that the young Auistralian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was unjustly convicted makes BROTHERHOOD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

The Doobies keep on rollin'.......2004-11-04

Before this year, the last album I bought from the Doobie Brothers was Minute By Minute. I was very skeptical to buy anything new because I thought the band was defunct. Imagine my surprise to find that since their breakup, they have put out three new albums! OK, I was still skeptical. Was this another band with a few new people thrown at it to keep the name alive to sell more albums? Well, I am happy to report that the answer is NO! This is the Doobies! An excellent new album by an everlasting band! The sound first caught me off guard because it is different than the original Doobies sound. However, after listening closely, I would rank Brotherhood with any other Doobie Brothers album. I love it! There is a lot of variety in the music on this album. From the pulse pounding beat of `Dangerous' to the very soulful `Rollin' On'. If you are a Doobie Brothers fan, you will love this album. Just don't expect to find the old Doobie's sound.

A Sonic Delight.......2004-09-08

As a thirty year fan of the Doobies I'd been a bit dissapointed by "Brotherhood" and "Cycles" from years back. I pretty much figured that the Doobies had run their course. Boy was I wrong. Sibling Rivalry is one of their best efforts ever. Crisp acoustic guitar, sweet fiddle, perfect percussion and overall groove remind me of the DB synergy of old. The grey hair may have slowed their tempo a bit but they have put down some great tracks on this one. As an added bonus for those audio snobs out there... this is absolutely the best recorded Doobies album and ever, probably one of best sound recordings so far this decade. They've got me looking forward to their next record. Safe to say... the Doobies are aging well.

Remember when they were a rock band?.......2003-09-27

Capitalizing on the success of 1989's "Cycles," the Doobies followed with this set. While "Dangerous" made the only real inroads on radio. There are enough worthwhile tracks here to justify this as a completion to your Doobies collection. It may take a couple of listens before you're fully into this one, but take the time, it's well worth it.

Next Gen of the Jacksons.......2005-10-16

Tito's sons are the 3 T's of this project. Duet with Michael Jackson on Why.

I wanna listen it a lot of times a day.......2005-09-22

I bought "Brotherhood" when it was released (10 years ago) and I still listen it almost everyday (And when I do it I listen about 3 times a day!!).It's impossible to bore. It's a wonderfull album.
I wouldn't sell mine by $10.000.000

GREAT R&B ALBUM!.......2005-08-09

I'd originally bought this album for the song "WHY", which is just a drop dead gorgeous soulful ballad written by Babyface. It features 3T's mega star uncle, Michael, who's soft sweet voice makes for great background vocals, but the rest of the album was actually very good too. This a good soulful R&B album & it's gem here are it's ballads. "24/7", "sexual attention" & "tease me" are great for getting you in a passionate mood. There vocals are smooth like silk & together, sound even better! In "Anything", they plead that they would do anything to keep a lover by their side. "I Need You" is a heartfelt tribute to their mother & Michael also shows up on this track toward the end with a gospel like intensity. The vocals are excellent & they're some downright great songs here. I would definitely recommend this album to R&B lovers!

Great album!.......2005-07-19

This is such a great, classic album! The songs demonstrate the soulful Jackson vocals that 3T has inherited. The songs are a nice change from all the other R&B songs which talk about sex and women degradation. Great! You got to get this!

GREAT!.......2005-06-21

cop this asap, mj does well along wit the 3 T's!, tito children on fire on debut want more do !keep it up guy'z
