Lately, my tastes have been drifting into Neo-soul and so forth but Usher's cd is still good IMO. He has a little bit of everything, my faves tracks are:

U Remind Me - Big hit on the charts, I mean who can resist the infectious beat.
U Don't Have To Call - That's my track! I really like the music in the background and just like me, all he wants to do is party.
I Can't Let U Go - This is probably the hottest uptempo. Reminds me of "My Way" with it's thumpin beat and witty lyrics.
Twork It Out - Is the best ballad/Mid-tempo on the album. It has such a laid back vibe and the lyrics make it even better.
Can U Help Me - Has single potential.

Then there are the clunkers which muddles the album and goes to show that Usher really hasn't grown that much since "My Way".

Good Ol' Ghetto - Yeah right!!!!! I can't buy it.
TTP - Too fast and jumbled.
U-Turn - I kinda like this track but who's gonna actually follow the instructions.
Pop Ya' Collar - Sounds like a rmx version of N'sync's "Pop".

In Summation, Usher sure knows how to pick the singles. Because there are alot of clunkers..including the ill fated spanish ballad, "How Do I Say". I give the cd a C because it is good and he shows vocal skill but some of the songs are soooo cheesy and MJ styled. Hope he shows more growth next time around.
