First, let me start by saying I was never a New Edition fan. Those squeaky Ralph Tresvant lead vocals were extremely annoying. When the group disbanded and went their separate ways, it was assumed that Ralph and Bobby would be the most succesful. Then "the other three" formed BBD. They had a very impressive start with "Poison". The song was funky and broke away from the boring, safe New Edition sound. It included the truly immortal line "...never trust a big butt and a smile...". They followed that up with "Do Me!" which included the equally immortal lyrics "...slap it up, flip it, rub it down...". These songs were decidedly NC-17. The third single, "BBD" was OK, but lacked the energy of those first 2 hits. "When Will I See You Smile Again" proved that these boys should avoid ballads and stick with new-jack swing. After that, the boys seemed to fall back into the boring, B-grade R&B that they had done as part of New Edition. Such a promising start only to be squandered on unintersting material. The quality of the CD is good, and it includes their 6 Billboard Hot 100 hits. If you are a BBD fan and want all of their hits on one CD, this is the CD to get. But as far as content goes, only "Poison" and "Do Me!" have stood the test of time.

I must say this is the best CD because I have been looking for a wonderful Cd to rememeber the good old days back when I was in single digit age. The quality is wonderful, I could not ask for anything better.
