Editorial Reviews

Ever since that fateful day on August 26, 2007 when Sean "Diddy" Combs announced that Brian, Que, Mike, Willie, and Robert had "made the band," DAY26 has been making their mark on R&B. Their debut album entered the Billboard at the #1 spot, the highest entry for a debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of Soundscan. And now the Bad Boys of R&B are back to reclaim their own throne with their sophomore album, Forever In A Day. With production from some of the best in the game - from Babyface to Jermaine Dupri - DAY26 has delivered another album sure to satisfy their legions of fans and elevate contemporary R&B.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fast Paced Day, April 14, 2009

This year I came out of the closet and told my friends that I was a Day 26 fan. I found out they were too!! The debut album is still in the cd changer so I was very eager to purchase new music from this VERY talented group of guys. I have listened to a few tracks via MTV's leak but I wanted to save the rest for the release date. I'm only on my third listen and the album is good but I would prefer a few more ballads. I guess Que got what he wanted with an up-tempo album but there is nothing like listening to Day 26 harmonize and wreck a slow song.

Best Song: Perfectly Blind is my favorite on the album. Que and Dawn vocally produced a sultry song.

Worst Song: Need That is absolutely terrible. Thank God it is only 2:30 long.

The Good (9/10)
Imma Put it on Her- Brian's ad-libs are amazing

Stadium Music- Best way to describe it is colossal. I like it!

So Good- B. Cox never disappoints. He is R&B through and through. The guys work well with him.

Girlfriend- Tank helped the guys deliver a great song.

Babymaker- Glad I'm on birth control because this is definitely a baby maker.

The Bad
Shawty Wats Up- The song is past the whole vocoder phase. I'm too tired to even listen. Besides, with voices like that, why distort them?

The other songs on the album are non skippers but don't stand out as much as the good, the bad, the best, or the worst.

With the vocal talent that Day has, I wish them all the best. This was a good sophomore effort and I look forward to what else they have in store. While this album is not as great as the first, I feel that it will catapult them into another realm and an audience that didn't take them serious at first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad..., April 15, 2009

I became a HUGE Day 26 fan because of their first album. Honestly..I've never bought a CD where I loved EVERY single track. But..that's exactly how I felt about that 1st album. I still listen to it!!!

As for their sophomore album, I'm sorry to say, only a few tracks caught my attention. Not sure what happened here, but I still give it an "A" for effort.

Out of the 15 tracks, only the ones below caught my attention. Whether it was in a good/bad way.


My absolute FAVORITE track...

Track 11 - Then There's You(Love it!!!!)


Wouldn't mind hearing on the radio...
Track 2 - Imma put it on her
Track 8 -So Good
Track 9 - Girlfriend
Track 14 - Your heels


WHY THE HELL is this on the album...
Track 3 - Shawty Wats Up
Track 12 - Need That

I'll be the first to admit that there isn't one powerhouse group in modern R&B, that could hold a candle to legends like New Edition, The Whispers or Boyz II Men, however with their sophomore CD, Day26 proves their up to the job. After a lackluster & disappointing first album, I wasn't looking forward to another album from the group and I honestly hoped they would fade in R&B obscurity. However given the P. Diddy is a marketing genius, we now have a second album from the group. On my first listen the album didn't start out too promising when it came to the up-tempo tracks. I've never cared for Imma Put it On Her and I'm truly sick of T-Pain who appears on one of the album's weakest tracks Shawty Wass Up. However when I arrived at track 7 with the ballad Perfectly Blind, the CD began to pick up stem. The four songs that follow "So Good", "Girlfriend", "Babymaker" and "Then There's You" are all some of the best material the group has recorded and shows them harmonizing at their best. After some nice slow cuts were treated to the Jermaine Dupri assisted it which is the second weakest song CD following Shawty Wass Up, listening to this song was worse than hearing Kris Allen sing on American Idol. After another ballad the CD closes out with a weakly with "Your Heels" feat. Jazza Pha & un-needed bonus track. Forever In A Day is no where near as classic as New Edition's Heartbreak or Boyz II Men's A Journey Through Hitsville CD's, however the ballads constitute giving this CD a listen.
