5.0 out of 5 stars Another Classic!!, January 14, 2003

This review is from: The Next Episode (Audio CD)

I got this CD in the mail yesterday from amazon.com and it was everything i have come to expect from Next. Next stay true to their freaky style with both club bangers and classic slow jams.
1 - Intro: keep their tradition of great intros which was started with Rated Next and followed with the Welcome II Nextasy intro
2 - Your Love Is: this is a standout mid tempo track with Jaheim with some yypically catchy Next lyrics
3 - Imagine That: the first single. Great slower song where Next demonstrate their skills
4 - Do Your Thing: Another great club song
5 - Im Tryin' To What: This song in my opinion is one of the best uptempo cuts ever made. I think it is even better than Too Close
6 - Just Like That: Another standout club track
7 - Feels Good: A song for chillin, talks about having good friends, family and enjoying life
8 - Lights Out: Classic Next slow jam. Reminds me of Splash from Welcome II Nextasy
9 - Hold Me Down: Another solid song talking about the value of a good woman and friends who have your back
10 - That's My Word: Another catchy mid tempo song
11 - Girl, Lady, Woman: Standout track about finding the right one. Very bouncy
12 - It's Okay: Another classic Next slow jam. Reminds me of Call On Me from Nextasy which is one of my favourite Next jams
13 - Brand New: Great slow song about reaffirming commitment to your girl
14 - All Because Of You: In my opinion this is probably the weakest song on the album but the song is really all in the lyrics here.
15 - Freaky Man: Another classic Next slow jam. The beat is reminiscent of a song called 2nd Kelly from R. Kelly's R. album and Cybersex from Nextasy and the hook is borrowed from Taste So Good from Rated Next
There is also an untitled bonus track at the end of the album.
Overall Next has kept true to their style while adding an element of feel good music to their style. They deliver their thrid classic in as many albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, February 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Next Episode (Audio CD)

wow... i love this next cd. i've been a fan of next ever since the song "Too Close". their second album was alright but their third project was marvelous. its a wonder that it did not get enough attention. all the songs are the album are good. the intro and "Imagine That","Do your thing" are all good songs. the mood gets cooler with tracks 7,8 and 9. then track 10 is SIMLPY PERFECT. the beat, the vocals...you cannot complain. i love the piano in the background and i usually play this song cruising down the highway when i'm coming back from work in in the early morning hours with the sunrise and everything... its just the perfect theme song. i like 11 and 12. then comes the song that gets to me most... my #1 track ; track 13 "Brand New". i love that song so much. it is such a relaxing song. it reminds you of a lot of stuff. the vocals, as usual, are great but i just love the beat. the guitar or whatever percussion instrument they used was simply off the hook. 14 and 15 are pretty good and i love track 16 (untitled). i play it at night when coming back from somewhere. like i said before, i play it cause it is the best theme song for that atmosphere.

one thing i noticed about NEXT albums (in my opinion) is that their last tracks are always very good. i can't wait till the next NEXT album. for all those writing negative comments/reviews about them... ALL Y'ALL JUST HATERS!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Next still got it !!!, August 14, 2003

Tierra (chi-town) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Next Episode (Audio CD)

First I would like to say that I was [upset] that Next didn't get too much air play or recognition for this cd because it was very good. This is their most mature cd which shows how much they've grown in three years.When I first got this cd, I must admit that I wasn't hooked on it like I thought I would've been. But when I started listening to this cd on a regular basis, I became addicted! You will never see me without my Next and RL cd's, EVER!!!
My Most Favorite Songs:
My Love, All Because of you, Lights Out, Imagine That, That's My Word,Brand New, and Do your Thing.
My cool Songs:
Your Love Is,I'm Tryin To What,Just Like That,Feels Good,Hold me Down, Freakyman, and It's Okay.
My Moody/sometimes good song:
Girl, Lady, Woman

Besides that one song this cd is very raw and I love Next with my life. I hope they make another cd cuz they are very talented guys and I would hate to see them stop over this one cd because it didn't have platinum status.
