Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

Why is Janet Jackson's Janet the best Michael Jackson album since Thriller and the best Madonna album since..., well, since ever? Perhaps it's because Michael's kid sister is the only one of these three aerobic video stars with enough smarts to realize that sex, hooks, and beats are all that matter in this field of lightweight dance pop. Or perhaps it's because the sexuality Janet radiates through her sweet melodies and hip-tugging grooves is so much more credible than Michael's arrested prepubescence or Madonna's nothing-personal-just-business comeons. After her embarrassing posture as a sociocultural analyst on 1989's Rhythm Nation 1814, Janet has returned to her strength--using her odd mix of girlishness and maturity to make dance numbers about personal relationships ring exceptionally true. Even so, the 75-minute, 27-track Janet doesn't really work as an album; there's too much filler and the between-song transitions quickly grow tiresome. The album is full of killer singles, though, starting with such proven cuts as the extremely slinky "That's the Way Love Goes" and rock-guitar-driven "If," and featuring such future hits as the Prince-like "This Time," the Motown-like "Because of Love," the breathy ballad "Where Are You Now" and the inspired Stax cover, "What'll I Do. --Geoffrey Himes

5.0 out of 5 stars Growth, Maturity, and Evolution, July 31, 2002
"Janet" heralds a new Miss Jackson who's come a long way from her cutesy days as Penny on "Good Times." Gone are the robotic dance beats of her last two records. Say farewell to those all-black costumes she constantly wore in her videos. This album shows Janet at her most relaxed, and it features her most mature work at the time. Janet once crooned, "Let's Wait Awhile," but it now seems that she is willing to explore her sexuality, as evidenced in the hot singles "That's the Way Love Goes" and "You Want This." Elsewhere, she dabbles with house ("Throb"), non-drippy ballads ("Again," which is one of her best singles ever), rock ("What I'll Do"), and straightforward pop (the hidden track "Whoops Now"). For all that's good, I have to complain about the handful of unnecessary interludes that pop up in between songs. If they were removed, "janet" would have been a near-flawless record. But as it is, it's still a winning release that shows growth and depth from the most exciting and musically consistent member of the Jackson family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Change of Pace, October 17, 2005
This album marked the end of "Miss Jackson" and the debut of "Dominatrix Jackson". She mostly forgoes her funky dance beats, social commentary and personal statements of past albums. Instead stressing R&B, sensuality and straight on dance grooves. It's quite a startling change but she mostly pulls it off. "That's The Way Love Goes", "You Want This", "If", "Because of Love" and "Any Time, Any Place" are the best of the bunch with much of the rest being either average or filler ("Funky Big Band" is neither funky nor interesting to listen to). Still the entire album comes together and presents the most honestly sensual Janet Jackson we've yet seen. The crass and almost pornographic Janet Jackson of late is barely noticalbe on this album. The closest she gets is the sexually charged "If." Of particular note, tracks 20 through the end of the disc make for great music for romantic get togethers.

Although unexpected after her funkier first two albums, "Janet." is a nice change of pace and one of her strongest sets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Janet aims to please, October 11, 1999
By A Customer
Janet has made a winner here. Unlike her previous cd's, Janet drastically changed her image, for the best. The songs still have the heavy beats that we've expected from her. Each of the songs are awesome, but some of the "weaker songs" could have been left out, and been replaced by those wonderful b-sides of the album "One More Chance", "And on And On" and "70's Love Groove"

Each song is different, there is a different style for each song. "If" is the standout of the album because there is no song like it, and it happens to be my favorite too. "Where Are You Now" is an awesome ballad, like One more Chance (which is available on the If single), Where are you now should of been a single, it is one of Janet's best songs and her voice really shines on it.

Janet has done it again, I highly reccomend this cd, all the songs are awesome.
