For once I agree with the spotlight review..

I have been a Jagged Edge fan since the beginning, but it seems like they lose a little something with each album. I mean, this one is growing on me now, but the first time I listened to it, I was honestly thinking it might have been a waste of money. Here are my problems:

1) Their songs would be SO much better if every time the chorus/hook came around, they didn't have the one guy (I don't know them by name) singing in the background over every dang hook. (Example: Hook is "she don't give a damn, she's so amazing.." and the guy goes SO amaaazziiiiing... amAAAAzziziiiiiing.... Whoaooaoaoaoaooohhhh.. oOAOoaaooaoaohhhh....) It's like, dude, we hear the hook without you deciding to oversing the two words that you like from it, over, and over again on every song. If they just took the hook and left it alone, without the extra layering of whats-his-name's voice, it would be SO much better.

2) They used to be more heartfelt about their songs, there used to be more slow jams for the bedroom, etc.. NOW it seems like 9 out of 10 songs is about their drop top on the way to the club.. the whole thing is just too UP-TEMPO for me nowadays.

3) They used to be halfway slow and dramatic, like R&B is supposed to be, but now every song they do has the same crappy drum beats. I REALLY WISH they could find a good person to produce their beats, I think that's been their biggest downfall in the past few years. Slow it down a little bit. R&B is not for driving your car down the highway, it's for the bedroom dangit.

I dunno, if you liked Hard a whole lot, you might like this one too, but if you liked their first couple albums the best, this is kinda like Hard but it goes even further downhill from where that album was taking their style.

I mean, I'm still a fan, but I paid good money for this CD and I think it sucks that I have to skip probably 9 out of 16 songs.

As I started to play the 5th album from Jagged Edge, I was expecting to hear the classic, R&B Jagged Edge we all know and remember. But, as the songs kept going by and track after track I lacked to find standout tracks and tracks that were worth listening to. Don't get me wrong the album still has its strong points with tracks such as "Good Luck Charm" and "Watch You". "Good Luck Charm" is a great song and after hearing it I was expecting more of the ladder on the self-titled album, but didn't quite find what I was wanting to hear. Although with the track "Baby Feel Me", I found that JE music I had been expecting. "Baby Feel Me" is a great smooth track that any R&B fan will enjoy. "Hopefully" also provides that soulful JE music and also is a great track. The "Reggaeton" appeal track "So Amazing (Feat. Voltio)" is a nice uptempo club type of track that will grow on you for the most part. Overall, the album is just plain average, with a standout track here or there, but for me most of the album is skippable. For the most part, it wouldn't be a "risk" buying this, so go out and buy it and support the veterans of R&B.

Favorite Tracks:
1. Good Luck Charm
2. Baby Feel Me
3. Watch You
4. Hopefully

Unfortunately Jagged Edge didn't come hard on this album. This is the worst album of the bunch. The lead singer has a voice that sticks out and most of the songs on this album don't express that. He has the voice to sing more powerful songs. Another thing is the topics on their songs seem to be juvenile. The continue to talk about getting girls cause they're pimps. I think its time these grown men now realize their older and sing songs that mean something.

MAN I LOVE THIS ALBUM
I SUGGEST IF YOU DON'T HAVE THIS TO BUY IT
YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED
THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT
THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU CAN LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN
THE ONLY SONG THAT I DON'T LIKE IS SO AMAZING
THAT IS THE SONG YOU CAN SKIP

Like a lot of reviewers, I have been a fan of JE since I heard their debut. I love the twins' vocals and talents. This is their 5th album, it's good, but not the best of course. They still hold hot and tight beats very well,but I think we need some more changes, such as a few of romantic ballads...

Better than their 3th and 4th album, maybe it's a nu beginning,C'mon JE...

First off being a true fan of this group, I was not impressed with this cd. I was suprised that some of the songs that were marked on the sticker label as being hits turned out not to be hits in my book. The two songs that I enjoy are Watch You and Hopefully. Fourtanely these two songs are one right after another. So each time after they finish I happily eject the cd, so you get my point. Jagged Edge needs to come again, with the Real Deal soon, because this was nothing more than a cd filled with hopeless fillers. I love you guys, but no Cigar this time. One Love.

Jagged Edge shows time after time why they are the best male r&b group out since the Boyz II Men/ Jodeci era. With their fifth album they come with the same Jagged Edge sound but with a twist.

I have been down with JE since their first album and I will continue to be a huge fan. This album flows smoothly and is well balanced from start to finish. I actually love every song but my absolute favorites are Hopefully, Crying Out, Baby Feel Me and the download bonus track Stunna.

Everytime I get tired of the normal mediocre r&b JE blesses me with a breath of fresh air. Keep it going guys, without you where would r&b be!

I have loved Jagged Edge since their first CD. They always have great beats, awesome lyrics and such great harmonies. They can keep it smooth but, at the same time switch on the "street" real quick.

Jagged Edge's latest CD is one of their best in a while. It has the perfect blend of the slower-smooth songs to the street bumpers all while keeping that trademark Jagged Edge sound.

All the songs on here are good. They pack this CD full of radio-friendly songs. 15 (including the bonus track) - that's a lot of great music.

Standout Tracks:

"Ghetto Guitar"
"Watch You"
"Get A Lil' Bit Of This" (Good party bumper)
"So Amazing"
"Question" (A classic JE sounf to it)
"Who U Wit"
"A** Hypnotic" (THE JAM!!!)

This CD is worth the purchase!!! They keep with their same JE flow so any JE fan will like this a lot. For anyone who is not familiar with Jagged Edge - if you like good and smooth R&B with some tight jams - this one is for you!!!!

This is another good JE album. It has a few more up tempo songs (not necessarily party tracks) than ballads. It's good to see them keep R&B music going. Over all if you are a fan of JE and like their other album then you will like this one. I just bought it without reading and reviews or hearing any of the tracks except Lucky Charm and So Amazing. I'm not disappointed at all that I did.

I have been anticipating this album for months now and i couldn't be more disappointed. I love Brian and Brandon and respect all of their work but I cant believe they even put this out. Good Luck Charm is the best thing on here. When I heard good luck charm I expected the rest of the album to be just as great but it definetly isn't. Lots of bad production and filler songs. It is gonna take a spectacular and immediete album to make up for this work. Maybe next time guys. I do not reccomend this cd. Maybe the low album sales will smack some reality into them and make them return to their original great music. Love tthem but hate the album.
