    This Album got better once it was release. No More Drama was a world needed word that enough was just that with tears falling and relationship fading No More Drama was Mary at her best after escaping the madness Never Been Touched Family Affair Rainy Days. This cd reminds fans of a once Young And Restless in heart that we all share

    Love it more each time I listen. Fills me with emotion. Sometimes it fits too well with my mood. Scary. She is something else.

    This album states that Mary is in control and she knows what she wants.The hot new single called FAMILY AFFAIR also shows that mary is a changed person, she doesnt want no drama. she dont need no hateration or hollaration she wants you to leave your situations at the door and just have agood time.This is from Maryj.Blige's 1 fan.

    Mary J. Blige fully represents the essence of soul music. This album will be the best R&B album this year. Long live the Queen !!!

    Since the first album, Mary's ablums have continued to improve. This album is the "I've gotten through the rough times, and I'm over that!!" album. In the words of my favorite artist.."MARY'S BACK!!"...and she's here to stay...

    Injecting the album with plenty of soul, gospel and throwbacks to that old-school Motown sound, producers like the Neptunes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and guests like Eve help round out what's possibly the best R&B album this year.

    Other than "PMS," a misguided Lauryn Hill cop, the album also gets stronger as it plays, concluding with an impressive trio of songs that show off Blige's gospel roots.

    In the past, that voice has conveyed untold worlds of pain and anguish, but on Blige's fifth studio album, No More Drama, it's put to good use mining the foreign terrain of happiness, contentment, and other emotions seemingly antithetical to the soul singer's tragedy-filled milieu.
