I just don't appreciate the work they put together. the Timbaland tracks seems boring to me. None of the tracks are good to me. BUT If Tombo can pull a "Loose" quality of music for Brandy. I will be totally fine & happy to hear what they got.

Just because the music is dark doesn't mean it's not catchy. I Tried, Finally, and Should I Go are 3 perfect tracks from her that are dark and fit perfectly with her and her situation at the time. Yeah, its not my favorite personally, but Afrodisiac is recognizably an amazing album sonically. Timbo put his foot in that one and Brandy's voice just rides perfectly along.

"Who I Am", "Say You Will", and "Come As You Are" were the highlights.

"I Tried", "Afrodisiac", "Focus", and "Finally" (especially the demo version) are among my favorite Brandy tracks of all time.

Is the single still coming out today? We don't know. I just want the album, i'm not really about the single. Her entire effort to me always is solid regardless of it's commercial success or hype.

Her BTM special was AMAZING. I cried the entire time. :'( I've been following her music since the beginning after I bought her first album on tape and I used to play it EVERYDAY on the way to and from school. It's also cool that "Never Say Never" shot into the top 10 on the R&B albums chart on iTunes and "Afrodisiac" is top 100! This is only the beginning.

I hope 211 is a sales juggernaut for her so she won't have to throw it under the bus as well a few years from now.

Hell no. Afrodisiac is truly overrated. people keep saying it was her best album to date. The music is way too dark and not catchy. Human is even billion times better than it. Whoa. "Who I Am," "I Tried," "Should I Go," etc. not only have great, personal lyrics and singing, but the production on those songs is layered and sort of epic. Afrodisiac is easily her biggest statement as an artist, in my opinion. Not sure how anyone can listen to the strings, guitar, etc. in "I Tried" and call it boring. That song is epic.

Hmmmm....well, that was...hmmmmm
Well how bout them layered vocals?! I'm gonna need some time, b/c those verses and Breezy's part are kind of a mess to me...the bridge was cute though. Idk, this could be a hit...hmmm maybe it'll grow.

This song is so hot and I was expecting a Diva soundalike. There are minute similarities but it's still fresh and sounds like Brandy. I love how Bran'Nu makes an appearance and Chris Brown sounds awesome. Big fan of this song. It's so catchy and those signature Brandy runs.

I thought I was the only one who noticed a slight similarity to Diva. I am in love with this song. I can't believe Brandy is about to make me like Chris Brown again, lol!

Ugh, and to think Right Here (Departed) is miles better than this, but Put it Down will probably end up doing better
