    Ok this is what i call a "half-way" CD. Some songs hit the spot but others you have to wonder what the producers and her were smoking. Is it me or does Ashanti sound like an annoying little singing girl that wont shutup.

    I think here video is great but she just needs to get some new dance movements in there and she need another man such as Jarule.

    This album is amazing. It's significant to the groove and melody of the first, but yet acedes the quality.

    I can't believe that anyone could possibly buy this cd. It was horrible. I didn't know that you could sound that bad on a cd. She tried to hit notes that haven't even been evented. The only thing good about this cd were the beats.

    The CD was slow, boring, and just not that good. I found myself flipping from song to song, hoping for at least one of the songs to show any signs of life. The skits in between were cute at first but they became annoying midway through.

    This is really good, breezy, lightweight pop-soul. A steady diet of it will make you sick, but as an occasional treat, it's great. I am a sucker for the 70's soul sound (lots of wah-wah everywhere) and Fatback Band so it all works for me. Just make sure this isn't the only album you buy this year.

    A horrible dissapointment...There is only one good song (the first single "rock wit u"), and the rest of the CD is filled with derivative, repetitive, and uninspired tunes that lack any of the catchy hooks and melodies of her previous singles...This CD was way over-hyped.

    dont know what the dilly is with murder INC but they havent produced anything worth anything. this is just another example of the talentless "artists" getting by on a nice ass. irv gotti has absolutely no ear for music. I could have done better and maybe even sold more. get beyonce instead.

    This CD needs a rating of -0. She is not a singer but a piece of ass in some eyes. Murder Inc. should be charged with not only being a drug front but for also making some on the worst music in history.

    The album is not bad but its not good it's just what it is. This is how I would rate her album with the other R&B albums that came out this year. 1.Beyonce 2.MYA 3.Ashanti 4.Monica 5.Blu Mary would be # 2 but her album did not come out over the summer.

    This album was so wack. I mean get real. It trully amazes me how people can get by on their looks. And to the people that gave this album a 10 have you ever heard real talent?! Ex: Alicia Keys I'm not a hater I just know talent when I see it.

    the first time i heard this album i must admit i was impressed. then i went and got her first album and i must admit again i was impressed.i can't choose which album sounds better because i like them both.and i want to go on record of saying that in my opinion ashant's album beat out every other female artist's album that came out that summer such as beyonce, mya ,and the first time i heard this album i must admit i was impressed. then i went and got her first album and i must admit again i was impressed.i can't choose which album sounds better because i like them both.and i want to go on record of saying that in my opinion ashant's album beat out every other female artist's album that came out that summer such as beyonce, mya ,and monica.her album was a bit better than those three. even tho i'm givin mad props to her album and music, i'm not a big fan let alone a fan at all of ashanti. to me in my opinion she reminds me of aaliyah and to me i think she's tryin to take her spot and that's not going to happen even on her best day. but in overall ashanti's album is worth your money.… Expand

    The sole outright attraction of her pathologically modest follow-up is "Then Ya Gone."
