 Fun CD

| I actually went to see them in concert in the early 90's...they sound as good live as they do on this CD. This CD will make you want to get up and dance. It brings back a lot of good memories for me. |

This should be at least a 4 star album by anyone's standards, I do not care about what your taste in music is. If a person has appreciation for music in general, they will see this was an excellent, well made, extremely fun, danceable, chillable album of it's time (even if they did not prefer this style of music). Yeah, I also make my own words. Not to mention that each artist had great solo careers, which just further displays how much talent these guys have.
Learn to appreciate music.
5 Star this.

| When Bobby Brown left New Edition for a solo career, he released the popular album Don't Be Cruel that was a colaboration with producer Teddy Riley that populized New Jack Swing with it. The fifth original member Ralph Tresvant also released a solo album Ralph Tresvant and so did Bobby's replacement Johnny Gill with the successful Johnny Gill. This left Ricky Bell Michael Bivins and Ronnie Devoe on their own, but instead of completely giving up music they founded the New Edition spin-off group Bell Biv Devoe and made an attempt on New Jack Swing aswell, but instead of completely emulating Bobby they made their own version of the genre, mixing both Hip Hop, R&B with Pop with a tougher edge. Infact, their new band sound very little like the sweet pop/soul of early New Edition. Most of the songs are uptempo here, like the daring "Do Me" and "Posion" both becoming top #5 hits or "Dope", "B.B.D (I Thought It was Me)" "Word To Tha Mutha" all minor singles, but apart from all those sexy uptempo's, they were also able to make good slow jams, especially with "When Will I See You Smile Again" that is the best example and "I Do Need You" is not far behind. The last song was called, "Let Me Know Something" that was another decent uptempo. The album closed with a remix of "Poison" making it just 10 songs which is quite little today. Like many New Jack Swing albums of the early 90's this is another one that doesn't sound like it was made a day after 1990 (the year it was released) but it's one of the more original albums to come out and it feature enough memorable hits for anyone to bother. unfortunately this project didn't do much more then this, but as we all know New Edition re-united again in 1996 with all 6 members with Home Again and had a hit with "Hit Me Off". |

BBD kicked open the 90's with this timeless banger. No one expected these three of New Edition to be this good and dope. The production from Spiderman & Freeze and PE's Bomb Squad set this joint up for success. Many an act would take peices of their style, such as Jodeci, TLC, SWV and others. The smoothed out mental dress in back in style thanks to Usher, Kanye and just about every R & B artist today.

| It was in the MTV era( when they actually played music )when i heard a beat that made me stop...it was Poison by BBD. That was just the begining for me and this album. i was just starting to DJ back then and i was always looking for the next heater for the dance floor. BBD gave me more than one, in fact they gave us all music that to this day is still being requested and played well after 12:00AM...their songs are still heaters!!!"I thought it was me" and " Do me" never got old on the dancefloor. I never played a party without all of the above being requested by everyone back home in Santa Paula,Ca. For anyone who had a taste for the 80's dance music ...this is a mixture of R& b, New Jack, Soul-(When will I see You Smile Agian?) that you need in your collection. It's 2007 and i'm still DJing and i'm still playing these same BBD cuts on the dancefloor on the regular! This album is a prime example of how good the music was back in the 80's...want proof...i'm still playing BBD almost 20 years later and getting the same reaction from the dancefloor...!
