I love this album. They took some of the greatest solo hits of this super group and included it one on album. I love Ralph T'S "Sensitivity" and Bobby B's "On Our Own" from Ghostbusters II soundtrack. This would have gotten 5 stars but the only had the original lineup of N.E and they negelected to have any of Johnny Gill's solo hits like "MY,MY,MY" or "Rub You the Right Way"

God knows I love New Edition! This is basically a collection of solo hits by the group. Most NE fans will probably have all of these songs, but this is a great collection for a person who just liked their released singles & don't want to buy a whole album just for one or two songs.I see alot you are wondering why none of Johnny Gill's (JG) songs are featured on this compilation. Well let me answer that question for you! JG had already inked a solo deal with Motown Records prior to joining NE. Since this is an album from MCA Records, they would'nt have any of JG's stuff on it. I guess Motown wouldn't allow it. NE, BBD, Bobby & Ralph were all under contract from MCA.

Four things:

1) You know I have to ask...where's Johnny Gill? I'm not a diehard Johnny fan or anything, but if you're gonna have New Edition's solo hits, you should have hits from every member, even if Johnny wasn't an original member.

2) About Bobby Brown's hits...why is "On Our Own" on here? Why not have some of his REAL hits, like "Good Enough", "Roni", or "Don't Be Cruel"? Whoever put this collection together needs to do their homework.

3) With the possible exception of "Stone Cold Gentleman", do you know if anyone was singing along to ANY of these Ralph Tresvant songs? "Money Can't Buy You Love" was the most uninteresting, and the rap was terrible. I've heard better rapping from Ron DeVoe.

4) Most importantly...why was this album even made? For the most part, the songs are taken from BBD's Poison and Bobby Brown's Don't Be Cruel, but doesn't everyone already own those albums? Also, there's already New Edition's Greatest Hits (the only collection you really need), All the Number Ones (self-explanatory), and All For Love (all their love songs), so what the point of THIS?

Let's hope something like this doesn't happen again.

this is Good Overview of the Impact of New Edition.Where are the Johnny Gill Songs?that's the only thing Hurting this Disc from being Very Essential.Still it's a Good Solid Disc of Material that has had an Impact on The Music World Over The Last 20 years.I Don't Believe Any Of The Boy Bands Of Today will Be Able Too FOrm as Many OffSPirngs as this Group Has&Be as Successful at it.that's The Depth Of New Edition.

If you love the new jack swing music or just the great times of the 90s, this cd is great for that. Absolutely love this cd.

A 12-track compilation of four tracks each by spin-off acts of New Edition seems like a strange way to pick up their work, to say the least. Still, if you want some hits by Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Ralph Tresvant, and are for some reason uninterested in scoping out their albums or waiting for their one-artist-only greatest-hits collections, this is a succinct mini-primer of one of the most successful clans in urban contemporary music.

The problem with cd's like this is.People bash them but we all know at one time we loved these song's.C`mon admit it you loved BOBBY BROWN, BELL BIV DEVOE, NEW EDITION,and the rest of the crew.
From the dance songs to the slow jams.If you had good MEMORIES
with these song's like i did. It is a perfect flashback on years past.Without looking at photo album's.
And even if they are not hit's today.Or if NEW EDITION AND ALL THE MEMBERS will never chart again.YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THESE WHERE ALL HITS AT ONE TIME.AND ALL HIT'S WE DID LOVE.Even if you don't love them now.Pick this cd up and give the song's and group members another chance.

This is a Good Cd containing songs from the artist of New Edition. They all did well during there solo careers. They each made songs that will be remembered. I enjoyed Bobby Brown songs the most Every Little Step, My Prerogative and On Our Own. Not Trying to leave the other artists songs unmentioned, but Bobby Brown was the true reason why I brought this cd, Even though I enjoy Bell Biv Devoe, the songs on the cd were not there best. Anyhow it's a Good Buy, Collectors items. P.S where is Johnny Gills tracks. One Love.

As solo artist there the best. Bobby, Ralph, and Bell Biv Devoe are the most explosive artist to hit in the late 80's into the early 90's. Each of them have there own style, flava, and charisma when it comes to producing platinum hits, which is why when they were with New Edition they were one of the best R&B slash new jack groups out there. Also on the grove tip this is one of the best CDs to get the party started.

This CD is an outstanding mix of the biggest hits from NE's artists once they went solo. If you grew up with them, you know that NE was the first and best true "boy band" in pop, and spawned some of the most influential music of the early 90's AFTER their breakup. Overall, an essential addition to the collection of any NE fan. Now let's just hope they can get their act together for another "reunion"... heh.
