Some of Cheeks CD's are the most uderated out there. he brings an original sound that no one seems to care about, its not his best work, but still better than most. you need to listen to this cd front to back and the back to the front. This cd will grow on you, a week from now it will still be in rotation in your car or your IPOD. No track stands out as the best, but the all are worth blasting out of your speakers.

Where do I begin when discussing Mr. Cheeks? The Lost Boys frontman was a personal favorite during the 90's and I loved LB's first two releases (both are no less than 4.5 star albums). But listening to Cheeks after the untimely demise of his brother (Freaky Tah) is different somehow. A part of him just doesn't sound as into it as he did back in the day (understandably so, losing family will do that). The end result is a change in his content. Gone are the feel good joints from the LB days. They've been replaced by his personal pain and that may be a bit of an adjustment for fans that are used to Cheeks being the life of the party. There are a few good joints though. I found "Supposed To" to be listenable, but I was a little disappointed in Natalie Stewart's (from Floetry) short verse -- I kind of dig her rapping. She may have been better suited just sticking to the background this time around though. "Brighter" is a nice dedication track. Most remember the lead single (Crush On You) as a nice, breezy cut and "Reminisce 2003" rehashes Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's classic from '92 (both of whom appear on this version) and it wasn't bad at all. The production, for the most part, is solid and even. Not too many "club bangers" and no forced "street anthems."

Where Cheeks messes up is when he enters the realm of corny cliches. Despite great production, "Pimpalicious" is goofy. Period. The title track (Back Again) lacks any real attention grabbing qualities and "The Wire" is pretty much forgettable. That's about it though. There aren't many bad songs on this LP because there are only 11 joints (just over 48 minutes).

The short format works well for Cheeks. He could've easliy took the route of his contemporaries and gave us a ton of filler, but instead he gives us 11 tracks of solid, though uneventful, audio treats. There is room for improvement though. Back Again isn't terrible, but it won't blow your socks off either. I recommend checking this out.

Standout Tracks: Brighter (My Favorite), Crush On You feat. Mario Winans, The Hussle feat. M.O.P., Supposed To feat. Floetry, Hands High, Let's Get Wild feat. Floetry, and Reminisce 2003 feat. Pete Rock, Journalist & C.L. Smooth
