5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE NEXT, August 13, 2003
By Tierra (chi-town) - See all my reviews
I love this cd just as much as I love NEXT!!! Next is by far my most favorite group! Here is how I rate this cd.

1.intro- I really hate intros but this one is kinda nice. 8/10
2.too close-this is a song that puts me in the mood for...! 9/10
3.butta Love-I love this song to the f**kin' fullest! 10/10
4.my place-I'm very big on interludes and I really like this. 10/10
5.cozy-This is a really good song. I like how RL and T-Low respect the girls they are with to not pressure her into having sex. 10/10

6.Penetration-I get very moody with this song. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. 6/10
7.You Are My High-I've loved this interlude since the first time I heard it! 10/10
8.I still love you-I have a passion for the way RL says "Cuz every time I close my eyes, I see you/And how I wanna is with you!" This song is raw also. 10/10
9.Stop,Drop, and Roll- What can I say but "I'm on fire!" 10/10
10.Represent Me- I really fell deep into this song because I can really relate to the situation. 10/10
11.Next Experience- I really like this song cuz I'm a freak too!!! 10/10
12.Problems- I get really moody with this song too but it's still a good song. 8/10
13.DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME-GOD I LOVE THIS SONG WITH A PASSION! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE CD! 10++/10
14.Admit The Rat- I love this interlude cuz it is sooo funny! 10/10
15.Sexitude- how could I not love this song? It was wrote for me!10/10
16.Taste So Good- I don't do the oral thing but I lay back and fantasize about getting it listening to this song! 10/10
17.Phone Sex- I love the part where T-Low and RL(ooooh, baby!) go back and forth. That's another good song. 10/10
18.Rock On- this song really had to grow on me. The first time I really listened to it, it became one of my favorites. I love Tweety part(ooh,baby)10/10

Despite how mediocre people say this is, despite how too sexually explicit they say this is, despite how much talent they say Next has, I'm behind them forever. People will love you one day and hate you the next but only true fan-friends gonna be there through whatever. I LOVE NEXT 4-LIFE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this cd form beginning to end., November 5, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this cd because of TOO CLOSE, but when I bought it and heard it, I was taken over by the entire cd. My favorite song on the cd is DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME. This song I'm constantly playing over and over. I just love it to death. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes NEXT.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album sure does bring back the memories, January 4, 2007
Next first burst onto the scene with their risque single Butta Love back in 1997 my sophmore year of high school. Their is one central theme on this album and that's SEX. The fellas are at the best at slow jams and this is apparent on the tracks Cozy, Phone Sex, Stop ,Drop & Roll and my favorites Do You Think About Me and Taste So Good. While this are very sexually charged,lead singer R.L. is so smooth and charismatic that he can seduce unwilling FEMALE listeners.
