"1. Get Up - ***1/2 pleasant but doesn't bring much to the table. the bird-whistle production was a fly addition to the track, however.
2. Love U 4 Life - ****1/2 nice melody. it was very familiar to me once I heard it.
3. Come and Talk 2 Me - ***** nice lyrics, composition and addicting to listen to.
4. Stay - ****1/2 slow groove that can totally pass as baby-makin' music. bravo!
5. My Heart Belongs to U - ***1/2 a tad too much oversinging and this song feels like a b-side. pleasant but nothing too great. sounds like one of the other songs i already played on this disc.
6. Feenin' - ***1/2 i like the squeaky swing/bed springs production. but other than that, this song, although popular is just ok...
7. Forever My Lady - ****1/2 definite baby-maker on our hands. i still remember this one!
8. Freak 'n You - ***** a slowed down, sexy entry from jodeci. a true highlight.
9. What About Us - ***1/2 a recycled, slowed down squeaky swing production, chopped differently enough to not be what is heard off of feenin'. in fact, i think there are two samples from two of their songs. where's the originality?
10. I'm Still Waiting - **** a nice vibe, but sounds like another song they've done.
11. Lately - ****3/4 this live version isn't as good as the other one, but this song rocks so it gets the grade it deserves.
12. Cry For You - ***** classic jodeci. the composition is awesome and i almost instantly knew what song it was upon hearing it, initially.
50.25 ÷ 12 = 4.1875
4.19 stars.
end note: i grabbed my mother's cd from downstairs and decided to review it. boy did it take forever to do so. :("
Feenin for more Jodeci!

"(SMH)...when I think back to when Jodeci was HOTT and on the charts. The fun I had! Anyway, I have this cd and it's off the meter. Ok, so, I read the previous review by the lonely Catt who grabbed the cd out of his Mother's cd collection. Player, if you only could imagine what affect Jodeci had on the ladies back in your Mom's era.... anyway, this is a great cd good music and if you are looking for something to make an "Ol' School Slow Jams" cd or if you want to make an "Ol' School" playlist on your IPOD this cd is a must. If you are trying to consider whether or not to purchase this Jodeci cd, I ask, why are you waiting? It's the bomb and anyone who was kicking it hard back in the 90's will agree! As always...YMMV.
