3.0 out of 5 stars Destiny's Child , March 25, 2005

By	Geminigirl (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Ok so I pulled out debut albums of my recent favorite girl groups and wanted to add my 2 cents about DC's debut. I completely agree with Rara Estilo's comments about the enjoyable parts of this disc - namely the harmonies, the melodies of the songs and how well the vocal production is on this album. That's because at the time, they were obviously a GROUP, that's because it was a time before the "DianaRossification" of Beyonce and her elevation to lead singer (I wish I could take credit for that term but I stole it from someone else and find it hilariously accurate).

The standout songs to me on the disc are:

Second Nature (very ambitious taking on the Isley Bros but the vocal production is beautiful)

No No No - Pt 2 (should've left part 1 on the cutting board)

With Me, Pt 1 (catchy, displays all members' vocals)

Tell Me (beautiful ballad)

Illusion (another catchy Wyclef production)

Sail On

It's definitely a disc that fans of the group should have and appreciate because it's a great starting point and reference to see how a group can & did change in just a few short years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where it all began, July 13, 2004

By	Somebodyukno2 (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews

I don't see why this cd didn't sell that well. Believe it or not, this is DC's best cd (vocally at least). There harmonies are tight and the music was excellent. I guess people saw these young girls sounding at little to grown for their own good and dimissed this album for some bubble gum pop that they were expecting from DC back in '98. Honestly, if this was released now, it would be #1. Anyway, the best song on the cd would have to be the opener, Second Nature, because it's so good. No No No Part 2 is aight, I just listenin to the music, the singing was a little off besides the chorus. With Me Part 1 was by far much better that Part 2. Illusion is my second favorite song on the album. It's really the only club banger beside No No No Part 2 and With Me Part 1. If your looking for the best singing from the original DC, this is for you. If you expect something more like Survivor, stay away.

3.0 out of 5 stars mmmmmmmkay..., August 10, 2000

By A Customer

I would have rated this album with 5 stars but their second album is sooo much better. well, amyway...

Second Nature--the guitars in the beginning are nice but other then that, it's boring.

No, No, No - (with Wyclef Jean, part II)--you all heard this so you decide

With Me - (with Jermaine Dupri, part I)--a favorite. the beat is phat!

Tell Me--kinda boring

Bridges--a cool song. The beginning is awsome. For some reason, reminds me of my kindergarden years but it's still cool.

No, No, No - (part I)--you all heard this so you decide

With Me - (with Master P, part II)--funny! I first heard the chorus to this song I was laughing hysterically but it's still a favorite.

Show Me The Way--ehh...

Killing Time--a pretty ballad

Illusion - (with Wyclef Jean/Pras)--a favorite. It's more upbeat then the others but the chorus is spiffy.

Birthday--not really a favorite but I still like to listen to it.

Sail On--a pretty ballad.

My Time Has Come--another pretty ballad.

If you're thinking about getting this album, be my guest but the second album is soooooo much better.
