Be Without You and Enough Cryin’ alone puts this at a .10.

"vocally"???? what kind of nonsense is this 

mjb doesn't have a single bad album vocally. 

but I'll say her last two albums are where she's not trying as much as she used to.

 

'Growing Pains' and 'Stronger with Each tear' were still peak Mary, she moped the floor with the competition

Posted

this album has one of her best covers! also, be without you :heart2:

Posted

it"s an iconic album, well deserved x

Posted

I wouldn't expect anything less from the album that contains the #1 Billboard R&B Song of All-Time :WAP:

Posted

too low

This Rich Harrison joint should have made the standard tracklist

Here you go talking about singles. I wasn't taking anything away from The Breakthrough.

 

I was disagreeing with it being her last good vocal album.

I have to agree. Her last albums are not as vocally interesting as her previous efforts.

 

Back on topic, that album is great, my favourite from her.

she cemented her legacy with this album. if there's anything that we could call a CLASSIC in 2000s R&B is this.
