My first impression.. I'm not impressed. There's too much filler here. Nothing stands out other than "Powerless". How disapointing. There are a couple of good songs, but I was bored listening to this. Maybe it's a grower, but as of now, I'm not impressed. Nothing is radio-friendly on here. :'( Doesn't look like this'll spawn any big hits. This is nothing compared to her first CD

I haven't listened but she seems to me exactly the type of artist to become a two hit wonder.

I haven't heard the album, but I heard clips of some of the songs on her MTV2 special. I liked what I heard, but not enough to buy her album.

I was going to pick this up on friday but ended up picking up the Dixie Chicks new double disc live cd instead. I will have to pick up "Folklore" sometime this week.

This is one of the best albums of this year!
WOW...this album is amazing. I didn't expect for it to be this good. This is Nelly's best work...I have no complaints so far on any of the songs.

To those of you who bought it, what are some of the standout tracks?
Also, does the album have one of those stickers that hint at what the next singles may be?

"try" and "Explode" are on the sticker... I don't remember the exact names of the songs (the cd is in the car). "Forca" (something like that) is a good song to download

I'm waiting for it to cost $2 at Amoeba. It probably never will, but maybe I'll get lucky.

One word... FORCA!!! That song is hot... I like the album but agree... aside from Powerless, Forca and Explode, the album doesn't really stand out. I like it a lot tho... the "filler" is good stuff... I would recommend buying it

I totally agree with you. This is by far the best cd I have bought all year!!!!! As for standout tracks "Try" is probably my favorite. I didn't expect that type of song out of her. "One Trick Pony" is also a very good song. I don't see too many radio friendly tunes on this cd. But like I said overall it is the best cd this year. |

I just DLed 2 songs, "Try" and "Forca."
Here's what i think:
"Try" - this is SO good. What happened to her voice? it sounds completely normal here, not annoying at all! The lyrics are great..I like the melody a lot too. I don't see this being a hit though :( Not radio-friendly enough at all. But it's a GREAT song.
"Forca" - I love this too! It's so catchy... and I LOVE the Portuguese elements of the song. I always love songs that kind of mix world music sounds into them.
Anyway, the 3 songs I've heard from Folklore are all way better than any of the songs I've heard from Whoa Nelly. Most of all, her voice seems to have improved a lot.

I love the album-my first thought when I downloaded the entire cd was, my god, she did even better than on Whoa Nelly!
I do like it better than her debut and I was seriously confused to see people saying it is not impressive at all.
I think its a good fun cd without being too fluffy and has a wide range of elements that make it great.
Try is my favorite-I love Explode, Forca, Fresh off the Boat, the last one (forgot the name), One TRick Pony, and Powerless the best I believe.

The last track is "Childhood Dreams". I don't think there is a track on this cd that I don't like. I think "Fresh Off The Boat" has a awesome beat but should be remixed like I stated in the poll. I could see her and wyclef doing an awesome job.

Now that I have had this album for a couple of days, my new word is OBSESSED... yes every song on here is now my anthem. It's so melodic and well crafted, I really love it and it is my vote for album of 2003!!!
I recommend purchasing this one!
