This is a pretty good album by Usher, despite the fact it only has 10 different songs. Out of those ten, though, I have to say only 2 of them are tracks I really don't care for.

The first track and great single is "You Make Me Wanna...", produced by Jermaine Dupri, is the best song on the album. I was always hearing this on the radio a few years back, but I never new Usher was the artist singing or the name of the song. So when I bought this CD I didn't expect to hear this song. The title track, "My Way", is also top-notch. It's about how a woman would rather be with Usher because "She loves it his way". The chorus can get stuck in your head. "Come Back" is pretty good, too. Usher sings about how he never missed his girl till she was gone and now he wants her back. It's produced by JD and he also raps on the track.

The more slower, romance type songs are also great. "Slow Jam" with Monica tells how two people meet and fall in love on a slow jam. Usher does a great job with this song, and Monica add to it nicely. "Nice and Slow", "I Will", and "Bedtime" are all great ballads as well.

The only 2 songs I don't like are "Just Like Me", and the extended version of "You Make Me Wanna". "Just Like Me" has Lil' Kim rapping 2 verses, but she's a little too dirty at some points. ("If I had a penis, I'd be heartless, for real though, N***as start s**t I'd just flash out my d**do") The extended version of the 1st song is there, I think, because Usher just ran out of song Ideas. I don't know, but it's kinda pointless.

Other than those, I'd recommend you to get the album, if you don't already have it. It's great for any RnB or even hip-hop fans. It's better than Usher's "8701". But I'd pick up this, 8701, and "Confessions". They are all cool CD's.
