The album that elevated Usher to superstar status

Review Score: (8/10)
This album really put Usher as a core artist for both mainstream and urban radio with huge hits like U Make Me Wanna, My Way and Nice & Slow. However, as is the case with many radio artists, does the rest of their album live up to the singles? In this case, almost. First of all, there are only nine different songs on here. I'm not counting the extended mix of U Make Me Wanna. Second, very few of the songs besides the singles are noteworthy. The collaborations are pretty good here: Monica, Lil' Kim and Jermaine Dupri. Surprisingly, it's Lil' Kim's and Jermaine Dupri's raps that give the album the explicit sticker and not anything that Usher says. The major downpoint of the album is the annoying I Will. Overall, this is a pretty good album, but don't rush out to get it thinking it's great based solely on the singles. I'd borrow a copy first.
