    Ok this is what i call a "half-way" CD. Some songs hit the spot but others you have to wonder what the producers and her were smoking. Is it me or does Ashanti sound like an annoying little singing girl that wont shutup.

    A horrible dissapointment...There is only one good song (the first single "rock wit u"), and the rest of the CD is filled with derivative, repetitive, and uninspired tunes that lack any of the catchy hooks and melodies of her previous singles...This CD was way over-hyped.

    The album is not bad but its not good it's just what it is. This is how I would rate her album with the other R&B albums that came out this year. 1.Beyonce 2.MYA 3.Ashanti 4.Monica 5.Blu Mary would be # 2 but her album did not come out over the summer.

    The sole outright attraction of her pathologically modest follow-up is "Then Ya Gone."

    A startlingly generic effort. [Sep 2003, p.120]

    Wears thin long before its halfway mark.
