The album is terrible. I never thought she'd make an album worse than "All For You". Janet has surprised me more with this album than any publicity stunt could. If the songs were not seperated by those laughably cheesy interludes, I wouldn't be able to tell half of these songs apart. How many acoustic leaning midtempo jams do we need? The hooks are barely there and often I'm noticing ripoffs. There's a major Glenn Jones ripoff (Spending Time With You) and Prince ripoff (SloLove). The slow jams absolutely drag and the upbeat songs sound like b-sides or something that missed the "Dream Street" album. Nothing on here stands out to me at all. You know my initial reaction to "Just A Little While" and I have to say it's one of the best songs on here, along with "I Want You". I do not hear Janet getting any major multiformat hits with this album. This sounds like Janet raided Murder Inc's vaults and stole the blueprint to "Chapter III".

Ok so here it goes. I have absolutely fallen in love with Janet all over again with this album. I can actually listen to it all the way through without skipping a single track which doesn't happen very often. song tite grade 1) Looking For Love (interlude) 2) Damita Jo B Alot of people are saying this should be the next single. But I don't think there is anything special about this song at all. It's not bad but it is hardly memorable. 3) Sexhibition A+ This is one of my favorite tracks by far. It's exciting and not like anything she has done before. 4) Strawberry Bounce A- Janets answer to Mariah's "Oh Boy". This is meant to be a fun track and bring a smile to your face. It worked for me. 5) My Baby B+ This should be a single no matter what!!!!!! 6) The Islands (interlude) 7) Spending Time WIth You B+ Very nice song has a very good feel to it. Would be an awesome spring / summer release 8) Magic Hour (interlude) 9) Island Life B Nothing stands out about this song. Nice slow jam but I wouldn't release it. 10) All Nite (Don't Stop) A- Very hot song. She should release this song no doubt about it. 11) R&B Junkie B Pretty cool old school jam. 12) I Want You A Awesome track. Should be urban gold can't say enough about this song. 13) Like You Don't Love Me B+ Good song obviously very sexual. I love that side of Janet 14) Could This Be Love B+ Another solid slow jam from Janet. This cd is pure urban gold 15) Think About My Ex B+ HOT 16) Warmth A EVEN HOTTER 17) Moist A One of my favorite tracks. If I could get wet I would over this song damn 18) It All Cmes Down To Love (interlude) 19) Truly B Not bad but not to memorable either. A little to slow for me 20) The One (interlude) 21) Slolove B Good song not my favorite. Reminds me alot of Kylie Adonis says the same thing so I don't feel so crazy hehe 22) Country (interlude) 23) Just A Little While A+ This is probably the most radio friendly track on the whole disc. I sill think this is my favorite song !!!!!!!!!! Overall Grade: B+ definitely one of the years best cds

Why are there 22 tracks?
That seems a bit much.

Sexhibition 10 - I wasnt feeling this one at first by boy do I love it now. The beat is cutting edge the vocals are right on point. This is A+ pop music folks!
All Night (Don't Stop) 10 - This song is career defining indeed! This is easily in my Top 3 Janet songs EVER! The words, the beat, her voice, WOW! This song is just WOW!
Slo Love 10 - Great Tune! Also in my Top 3 Janet songs EVER list! I hated Together Again but this song is soo soo HOT! This song is soo fresh and smooth. I love driving to this one.
Like You Don't Love Me 10 - I knew as soon as I saw the song title I would love this one and I do! Janet just floats on air in this song. I love this song soo soo much. I like it rough too Janet.
R&B Junkie 10 - I wasn't too keen on this one at first but dayum is this song ever catchy. I don't like 80's songs like this but this one is infectious. The words are HOT! This is such a hit its not even funny.
Damita Jo 9 - This would've made a great first release IMO. It's short sweet and is a nice answer to the media. Either way I hope & pray Janet and Virgin records know what they are doing.
My Baby 10 - This is A+ hip-hop music right here folks. The beat is bumpin'. The chorus is hot. The words really make this song as do the strings bass and simplistic beat. I could do without the meaningless rap but it doesn't hurt the song so I'm not taking any points off. Very good Kanye! Sometimes less really is more.
Strawberry Bounce 9.5 - This beat is so so hot! The subject matter makes this an interesting song.
Spending Time With You 10 - Saying this is going to be a hit is like saying fire is hot. This song speaks for itself.
Could This Be Love 9 - This is probably the best Bonus/B-side track I have heard from Janet.
Warmth 10 - Boy do I love this song. I mean I really love this song. I can't get enough of it. Its like a drug. I like risky single releases after a couple of hits so I would not be opposed if an R. Kelly remix was made out of this song and sent out as a last single.
Moist 9 - See upbove.
Thinking Bout My Ex 9 - I'm not too keen on plain ballads although this is a very good one. Babyface still has some magic left in him.
Island Life 8 - This is a hit waiting to happen. This song is not a favorite by any means but I have to be objective and honest. This song says #1 pop hit to me for some reason.
I Want You 6/8 - This song gets a 6 as a single but gets an 8 as an album cut because its perfectly placed on the album.
Just A Little While 8 - This song probably would've been a top 5 pop hit had it been the 3rd release instead of the first release. People would've said its the oddball and that they thought that it was cute.

People would've said its the oddball and that they thought that it was cute. what is going on that the two worst songs are the single choices? i'm worried about janet's career heading in the way of Mariah, Whitney, and Madonna. "I Want You" is slowing down and "Just A Little While" wasn't a hit by anyone's standards much less Janet's.

The worst album from Janet Jackson ever. All the songs are so cliche and they're all 2 minutes long. 24 tracks and 60 minutes long? WTF Something is wrong there. And I thought "3D" was short.
Its like she didnt get time to finish any of the songs and they all sound like old samples. There is nothing new on this album that stands out.
The only tracks I semi-like are "Damita Jo", "R&B Junkie", "Just A Little While" & "I Want You." They aren't even Grade A to me.
If you plan on buying Janet Jackson on March 30, do us a favor and purchase "janet." instead.

LOL @ the jealous TLC fans! I was worried but I am not because Virgin released all the album fillers already. So....Nothing Ed can say will change my mind! When someone has to put up a banner saying Damita No its pure jealousy. LOL! Everyone I play this album for absolutely loves it. Even fox news thinks that despite the bad promo so far that its still going to be a hit! They are always biased against the Jackson's so for them to say that speaks volumes to me.

Only a jealous TLCfan! LOL! I've just never seen anyone on this board make a banner against a specific artist/album. People just state their opinion and move on. For the record my name isn't Josh.

Learn how to read. And for the final time, It is not against a specific artist. It is against a specific album with generic sounding songs.

I happen to love DJ I think the whole album is a masterpiece but I know alot of other people are not going to share my opinion and that is fine. That is what makes the US great we all can have our different opinions

I think you crossed the line with your banner. You're always crossing lines only becuase you and Josh are friends. Rob is right!

*big shock* This topic remains untouched by moderators because Edf85 is Josh's friend. Ed is obviously instigating for the 300th time. I did it twice and I got banned.

He'll probaly deny it, but there's no point just going on about it here. Eric has the right to express his opinon, but he shouldn't be annoying and rude about it (and he often is). He's been fine in this thread and I don't see why a mod is needed here for locking the thread or banning people or whatever. Again I'm saying it'll all be cool if you people just learn to chill and accept each others opinions...wtf it's not that big a deal you guys.
