    Don't get me wrong, i do love Janet , I've been a fan of hers for 10 years and have all but one of her albums but with the exception of so much betta i don't like this album - she needs to stop using sex to sell her records and use her talent. i will keep it because its Janet but if anyone wants a Janet album go and buy control or rhythm nation.

    Janet Jackson tries to have a great album like "Control", but she just arrived to the toes of "Control"!! This album has good songs like "Feedback", but moaning and masturbating is not so good for an artist.

    Like any pop singer who had to try to go back to the mainstream, Janet surrenders to electropop, Discipline shown a frustrating album, ''Feedback'' is a catchy track, but the album sounds overproduced, it's smart to use samples of Daft Punk in songs, but Janet has made ​​things better.

    Despite a couple of promising tracks the music generally befits the absurd lyrics.... Dupri, Ne-Yo, Rodney Jerkins, The-Dream, and StarGate often drown out Jackson's breathy vocals with soulless beats.

    Just lie back and enjoy the sensations as pure aural autoeroticism.

    At 22 tracks, Discipline is anything but disciplined, but it's also Janet's most cohesive album in a while.
