This is mary's best song album yet. Strong vocals from mary. Great production. Very Consistent. The drama is over for now folks.

mary has done it again..this cd is off the chain

This album is Hot...critics are rarely ever right.

This album is clearly oneo f the best R&B albums out this year. It goes beyond the 40 minute clips others have been rushing out since late 2002.

I luv this girl...Go Mary!!!!

This CD is Mary coming full circle! I love the whole thing. She talks to everbody on this one! True Mary fans will know know how much she's grown. This is going Triple Platinum for sure.

Great Album! Lyrics are right on point...it's a classic!

great album. it's real soul at it's best

Mary, We Love You.....God Bless =)

I this is one on Mary's best albums yet.

mary is a wonderful singer. I love her because she keeps it real. Not show biz! keep up the great work & we love you in washington nc.

The most inspiring album of 2005

Loved this albulm. Her best yet, even better than No More Drama!

Uninspired, formula pop/r&b junk. nothing that hasn't been done before. Yawn.

The bomb! 2004-Usher-2005-Mariah-2006-Mary!!!!!!!

First let me say "ZIPPY" is on crack to not think Mary J Blige album is not a masterpiece.. The Breakthrough .. is Mary's finest work .. She is absolutely the greatest artist out in music.

Ultra Ultra Classic. I've said it before and i'll say it again, every track on this album is a killer. "One" is puuuuure excellence, I cry almost everytime I hear it. 10/10

The queen still reigns!! The critics get paid to give their opinion, but like Mary said, "Hate or love it, she is the soul hip hop queen!"

This Album is definetly one of her best. Full of happiness and emotion straight from the R&B Queen herself. Somewhat sloppy songs such as "MJB the MVP" which is a boring remake of "Hate It or Love It" but overall, it's enjoyable.

A graeat album, a great artist, a great career. This album is easily one of her best, may I say, since No more Drama, and Mary. Nice Mixture of Samples, and live instruments. Keep Doin ya thing Ms. Blige, I will always buy your stuff.

Mary J. Blige's voice and music represents the best of the past and the present of R&B. Unfortunetly, "The Breaktrough" does have some fillers (especially U2´s "One" poor and obvious rendition), but the overall result is amazing, with Mary´s voice in top form and a guess list that rarely disappoints. Many hopes on Alicia, but MJB still kicks ass!

Had to run it through the CD player a couple of times, but once it grabbed me, I couldn't turn it off

Ms. Blige's voice is amazing, although on this cd she is happy, we still appreciate her lovely music. She has creates bedroom music and dancing music. Her 1st single "Be without you" is a hit with everyone. Her voice captures the listners and draws them into her stories.

Great Album Every Song is great. A young Aretha in the making on a few songs. Truly the future Quuen of Soul and the already proclaimed Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.

excellent as usual

MAry J. Blige is so good! Be without you is one of my three favorite songs and it probably will be for a long time. She is really the queen of soul.

u go gaal let dem know.i lovrd ur album u really tell it lyk it is.love you xxx xxx (fan)

a great R&B album but missing the signature mary tracks like "No more Drama" but all in all she shows why she's the Queen of R&B soul with golden lungs and a writing style that many new artist admire

I loved the album. tons of great inspirational songs that touched me in the right way! haha! I love it! Go Mary!
