    Not being a big fan of Brandy's, I was quite reluctant to pick this one up. I am SO glad I did. Her life is maturing beautifully, and it shows on this disc. Underrated is definitely the word of choice to describe it. "Wow" and "Come a Little Closer"glow sublimely, "All in Me" is pure sexiness with its groaning bassline, and her ballads such as "He Is","Nothing", and especially "Love Not being a big fan of Brandy's, I was quite reluctant to pick this one up.

Music rarely forces me to tears, but "Love Wouldn't..." does everytime I listen to it. I sincerely hope she continues on her path to true happiness. Expand

    It could have been better if the remake of I Die Without You wouldn't be included, but in closure, she's definitely showcasing her womanhood on this record.

    Yea, Brandy's cd is excellent, the soft key Ballads truly eximplify her strong voice. For more info visit http://www.brandyconnection.com

    Great album. A lil too much of Jerkins'electronic hops-skips-and jumps, but it keeps you funky and the ballads really shine. "When you touch me" is the best Brandy ballad ever!!

    One of the very best R'n'B albums to date, Brandy is the best vocalist/entertainer of the naughties. No album fillers, you can tell Brandy and her team put real genuine effort into each track.

    I think the CD is awesome, from start to finish. I think she's a bit ahead of her time with some of the beats, so people who are not used to change might find it hard to handle. I love the way she shovles her brother in all of HER work, what love. She's dynamic,edgy,groovy,and those vocals on He IS are to die for. Luv it nuff said..

    Full Moon is definitely the best Brandy album. I can't understand why some people say there is a lot of slow material. The only low-tempo material is: WHEN YOU TOUCH ME, LIKE THIS, HE IS, COME A LITTLE CLOSE, AND LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT. WHEN YOU TOUCH ME, COME A LITTLE CLOSE, and LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT are excellent, and I can listen to LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME Full Moon is definitely the best Brandy album.

WHEN YOU TOUCH ME, COME A LITTLE CLOSE, and LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT are excellent, and I can listen to LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT forever, it in my opinion, is the best song on the whole c.d. I love the up-tempo stuff too. The only thing I don't appreciate on this album is that there are pro-tools used on this album, but only on the up-tempos, the ballads however aren't pro-tooled, which is really good because that is when she really has to show her vocals. My favorite up-tempos are All in Me (I especially like how she raps at the end), It's Not Worth It, What About Us?, and the mid tempos Wow and Full Moon. Expand

    This is old of Brandy's best albums to date. It's very creative! I love that about Brandy. She always pushes herself to do different things with her music and voice. This is my favorite Brandy album!

    Whew! It is now 2022 and I still can listen to this album without skipping a single track. It was rare in 2002 and especially rare now a days. Wish Brandy would’ve gotten her full flowers for this album when it came out but it seems like it’s a sleepy masterpiece kinda. The vocals, the background vocals, the way she stacks and layers them…..whew! My favorites on here are (4, 6, 12, 13 andWhew!

  1. Brandy gets an A+ for effort, even if Full Moon falls slightly short of that grade.
  2. Her deep, warm voice now has a scratchy, evocative edge that suggests maturity and the high price that often comes with it.
  3. Frantic, faceless, fake-sexy R&B.
