    An album of dull, vocal virtuoso ballads." I agree. This album is mediocre.

    Take away the album's lone misfire -- the cliché-filled "Rock the Boat," produced by Rapture and E. Seats -- and this work is nearly perfect.

    When it clicks, "Aaliyah" transforms the confusion of young adulthood into exhilarating freedom
