R.L and his brothers Tweety, T-Low came on the scene in 97 with a stunning debut album that produced three number one hits: Too Close, Butta Love, I Still Love You.. Steamy ballads like Do You Think About Me, Taste So Good, Stop, Drop & Roll.. They are back with stunning second album Welcome II Nextasy this CD picks up where their last one did.. This time much of Welcome II Nextasy put more emphasis on the ballads they turn the heat up a notch higher this is evident on such ballads as Cybersex, Let's Make A Movie(My personal favorite on the whole cd), Call On Me.. When We Kiss .. Next also take on some pretty provocative issues such on the tune Beauty Queen an profound, uncompromising look on Women that will settle for less in life.. Listen to the lyrics very carefully.. It is truly a profound song.. Welcome II Nextasy also has it shares of uptempo tunes such as the current single Wifey that is sure to cause a stir on the dancefloor like it's predecessor Too Close did a couple years ago.. What U Want ( Featuring Beanie Siegel).. The Cd does have a couple of missteps this take place on tunes Jerk, Banned From TV but after you get past these tunes you can just let it play.. Other noteworthy songs My Everything, Splash ..

This is an excellent CD it belongs in everyone's collection pick it up you will not be disappointed !

Next (R.L., T-Low, and Tweety) debuted with the multi-platinum album Rated Next and the hit single "Too Close," Billboard's No. 1 song of 1998. Next is back at it again with the cleverly titled album Welcome II Nextasy. This album is laced with a nice mix variety of tempos and subjects. The underlying purpose of this album seems to deliver smooth, romantic vocals for the ladies; however, this group also wants to please the guys with songs that appear to be vulgar towards women. I was surprised when I heard them screaming profanity on "Beauty Queen" and "Banned From TV." Otherwise, Next holds the album down well with out the presences of several guests and the appearance made by Rockafella Records superstar Beanie Siegel is welcomed. The best love ballads on the album are "My Everything," "Call On Me" (my favorite song) and the hit single, "Wifey." All of these songs are well done and are not monotonous in nature. The song entitled "Jerk" is a song in which the group attempts to rap and it is actually done quite nicely. This song was somewhat disturbing because of the topic, but it was a nice change in tempo. "Cybersex" was an unusual song because its lyrics dealt with computer parts described as a woman. This seemed quite strange and I was not feeling this song; however, the lyrics were quite clever and must be heard. The other songs on the album were not really worth mentioning, "Splash" was quite annoying with the special FX in the background. Overall, Next is on target with this album. However, Next needs to choose whether to please the men or the women because it is too hard to please both.

It's a good second effort. It's not spectaclar but good. The songs are good but the vocals really make this album worth having. This album is not bad just average. This is the last time I buy an album without listening to samples of the songs first. The best song come on the second half of the album. Here is my rating for each track.
1. Welcome II Nextasy(Intro) 4/5.
2. What U Want feat. Beanie Sigel 5/5 (A hot&slick Hip-Hop song.)
3. Wifey (first single) 3/5 (Okay.)
4. Cybersex 5/5 (Freaky in a good way.)
5. Beauty Queen (second single) 4/5
6. When We Kiss 3/5 (A nice love song.)
7. Jerk feat. 50 Cent (also a single) 4/5
8. Call On Me 3/5 (Good.)
9. Shorty 4/5 (Basic Hip-Hip flavoured R&B song.)
10. Minnesnowta(Interlude) 5/5
11. Let's Make a Movie 5/5 (Hot!)
12. My Everything 5/5 (Romantic and Sensual Quiet Storm ballad.)
13. Splash 4/5 (No Comment. The title is self-explanatory.)
14. Banned From TV 6/5 (The second best song on the album.)
15. Oh No No Feat. Red Rat and Renee Neufville from the group.Zhane 7/5 (The hottest song on the entire album!)
16. Hidden Track (The casette version of this album I have has this hidden track that I think is titled "The Freak in Me." It's a really good slow-jam. 5/5. There are some really hot songs on this album buried by some bland filler. Well, I hope this review is helpful to you.

This cd is awsome! The best songs are "Wifey","Jerk", "What You Want". It's a great cd, buy it!

Rap and R&B has always been one to leave me breathless. This is my first time listening to Next. The group consists of three brothers, and on this album there are various artists that are guest appearing. There's nothing else left to say that there is some really good stuff near the end. Next rules! Don't let this one go by.

I think that this is an excellent album, but then I am very partial to one of the producers name Edward Berkeley (Fingazgoal Production Company.) Right away, I was able to pick out the songs that he produced. My very favorite is "WIFEY" because it was written about me! My second favorite is "SPLASH" because it is a song that I could have easily written because of my mind frame. Overall, I can't wait to hear their "NEXT" album. Thank you Goalfingaz for a job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWEET

Those of you who were serenaded by the debut album from NEXT will not be disappointed by their much anticipated sophmore effort. Most will agree that NEXT's debut album was well profuced compared to other debut albums of the genre. You won't be disappointed by Welcome II Nextasy. NEXT has taken their creative talents to a new level. With clever lyrics (like Download your PC/ all over my laptop heard on Cybersex), and exceptional vocals, NEXT has not let their fans down. This CD offers something for everyone...R&B, Hip Hop featuring Beanie Seigel and 50 cents, and even reggae featuring Red Rat and Renee Neufville (of Zhane' fame). My personal favorites Wifey, Cybersex, When we Kiss, and Oh no no. I will eagerly be awaiting their NEXT effort.Meanwhile...Welcome II Nextasy....Enjoy!

The Minnesota based trio comes back with a second effort after a successful debut album that featured their smash hit "Too Close" which earned them fame and notoriety. Aside from that, "Too Close" and even "Butta Love" masked their debut album's lack of quality production on the rest of the songs. After hearing those two, you basically had to stomach through the rest of the tracks. Enter their second album, "Welcome To Nextacy" which contains an overall better production music wise by the efforts of Naughty By Nature's KayGee. All the original Next elements stay in tact with sultry and sensual tracks like "Cybersex", "Call On Me", and "Let's Make A Movie" to dance joints like "What U Want" and the debut single, "Wifey". A personal favorite is track #12, "You Are My Everything" which shows that Next can sing a love ballad just as good as a song about sex. A must have for R&B fans, but take heed on the Parental Advisory sticker and keep this one away from the youngsters. Some of the songs practically make it an audible adult film.

This album is pretty good. Most of the tracks are up beat and do have a good beat. I expected more slow tracks. If you like wifey then you will like the whole cd. For the most part I enjoy listening to it while I'm on the computer. The beats are mellow and I enjoy mellow. So if you like mellow then I think you will enjoy this cd.

at first i didnt really get into the cd, but once i went thru and had a chance to listen to all the tracks im in love. definatly i can listen thru tracks 1-9 and totally be bumpin the whole way thru. great cd if your into next and know their style.
