Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This silky-voiced Texan foursome combine hints of the slow, laconic sweetness of R&B mistress Erykah Badu with the tough, edgy pop of TLC. Like other US R&B girl groups, their follow-up to 1998's self-titled debut comes with the suitable glossy sheen and hot, late 90s producer--in this case She'kspere, the dude behind TLC's summer of 99 hit "No Scrubs". His magical, minimalist touch makes tracks like "Bills Bills Bills" and "Bug A Boo" memorable for their insouciance, and deft, hardcore harmonies. Writer/producer Missy Elliot also puts in her several thousand dollars-worth on "Confessing", a low-key love groove. Though teenagers when they recorded this album, Destiny's Child sing convincingly of faithless lovers, e-mail stalkers, and extra-marital temptation, complete with cod-Shakespearean quotes. They also do a gospel version of "Amazing Grace", letting their voices buck and weave a cappella. Apart from a few less than enthralling ballads, it¹s an engaging, sassy mix. --Lucy O'Brien

3.0 out of 5 stars As far as I'm concerned..., 9 May 2000
By A Customer
This is a fairly good album. It absolutely whoops ass over FanMail which I give just 1 ickle star(why do we all compair them?) but I'm not sure that it's the best album on the market.

I got the special edition with 2 CDs, and so that makes up for some really desperate album fillers. Everything starts of extremely promisingly with So Good and Bills Bills Bills and the intermitant Bug A Boo, but then it trails off with about 5 songs that all sound similar. But, alas, as things all begin to go pear-shaped, along comes the absolutely outstanding Say My Name...it nearly convinced me to give this 4 stars. But, as with other people who have reviewed this, there are too many fillers and not enough of the brilliance of Say My Name and Bills Bills Bills...

3.0 out of 5 stars MMMmmmmmmm!!!, 10 May 2005
By Ms. E. J. C. Farley "emsie_2001" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well being a great fan of Destiny's Child I hate to say that this is my least favourite album...There are the good tracks that they released and then a few others that I liked (Temptation and Stay being two of them) but some that I just always have to skip cus there soooo empty and boring...I know others will really disagree with me and thats ok but its not my favourite (altho I hate being negative!!) Although I do agree that there is a good chance that most fans will enjoy this and it does have some classics aside from the fillers. I also like the way they structured the album with the intro and the little rules between each song!!! HEHE!!!
