Agreeing with Haygn- Middle of the Road

Review Score: (8/10)
...this CD is sort of the middle of the road...I'm not really what one would call an Usher 'fan', but I enjoy his music. This CD split me almost straight down the middle. There are a few tracks that are absolutely wonderful- "Can U Help Me", "U Don't Have to Call", & "U Got It Bad" are my favorites -and there are some that are pretty good- "U Remind Me" was way too overplayed -but the worst part is a few of the tracks are so sexual they're almost perverse. Prime example is track 4, "Twork It Out". A wonderful melody was ruined by trying to be sensual. Didn't work. I skip the song every time.

This album is worth the money. Usher is a great artist. But a few of the tracks are also worth avoiding. Four stars.
