Editorial Reviews

Although it is their first studio album in 8 years, multi-platinum group DRU HILL is
reunited to claim all the adoration, curiosity and headlines of the fans who have never
forgotten them or their musical legacy. Upon the release of their last album, 2002
Dru World Order, the group disbanded to explore solo careers.
But now they are back! And SisQo, Nokio, Jazz, and new member Tao (pronounced
Tay-oh), realize that together they equal the perfect blend of soulful R&B, Rock,
Hip-Hop, and Romance.
This ultra talented foursome is armed to take the industry and the world by storm with
sold-out tours and the release of their fourth album InDRUpendence Day which harbored
the first single, LOVE M.D., a sexy mid-tempo ballad. InDRUpendence Day is formulated
to showcase their growth and individual personalities.

2.0 out of 5 stars Medicore album from a group capable of better, July 28, 2010

After an eight year hiatus, Dru Hill returns with their first album in eight and the first album with new member Tao. When I first heard Dru Hill was re reuniting, excitement came into as play as Dru Hill was one of my favorite groups from my high school days, however on their newest CD, the group fails to capture the glory days form their first two albums. First & foremost the group uses the voice coder on every single song which hurts the disc more than it helps. All four members of the group have a natural singing ability and instead of showing off their natural vocal talent the groups tries to keep up with current trends. The first part of the album is filled with secondary Will I Am styled beats that sounded better suited for Justin Bieber or Bruno Mars instead of a group like Dru Hill. The album doesn't really pick up any steam until track 9, State Of Emergency followed by four more slow cuts which are the only real album highlights. Sisqo & Jazz both have a chance to shine on Back To The Future & Love MD, but as whole this is the worst album in Dru Hill's catalog. The CD ends with a filler track where the group covers Tears For Fears Everybody Wants To Rule The World, followed by 3 snippets from Nokio's solo project which shows he needs to keep his day job. If Dru Hill wanted to come back and take the industry by storm they could have, as their isn't one R&B group who is prevalent in R&B today, instead the group digs their career into a deeper obscurity with this disc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Falling Short, August 17, 2010

As most people reviewing this release, I have also been a huge Dru Hill fan. I feel this release was rushed more than anything & like most people think this could have been much better. The album starts with it's faster style club tracks which just isn't Dru at it's finest. As the album progresses (Track 9 onwards) the album starts to feel a little more "Dru Hill" so slowing down the beats & singing ballads. I wish I could say I love this album but this has fallen short of expectations & I find myself skipping most tracks to listen too the last half of the album. Although the guys really haven't fallen off to bad as their voices have matured & still have distinct voices. I also feel they could've had much better production as I think all songs are produced by the same person. All in all, this album is, I HATE TO SAY IT. Average! Still worth the buy for any Dru Hill fan adding to their collection.

Awful CD...wish I hadnt paid full price for it. Everyone needs to evolve but DRU HILL needs to go back to the R&B they are known for. Album was weak didnt keep my interest. I skipped mostly all songs except for 1. Please do not purchase.
