    If you can forgive the album’s concessions to the musical innovations of the last decade or so, like the Timbaland-assisted production on “Incredible,” it’s a logical, if slightly aged, continuation of the group’s music from its prime.
  2. The tension between the singers’ voices does the tradition of classic R&B harmony proud.

    This is a confident, refined return--a necessary one in a field starving for group harmony singing. It's as solid as a reasonable longtime fan could expect.

    In truth, they display a confidence in declining to chase or win over new fans that is exceedingly rare in legacy acts.

    The Past, the Present, the Future fits right in with the previous three Jodeci albums, and will certainly be responsible for at least some members of the next generation of R&B babies. But it’s also front-heavy, and ham-fisted in spots.

    When the lyrics don’t sound old, they come across as eternally gross.... A lot of lyrics are just corny.

    The Past, The Present, The Future has rebooted more of the bad tropes from that era than the good.
