5.0 out of 5 stars One of their best albums!!!, September 30, 2004

By	Jon Karsen "rochas70" (San, Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This is the best Salt-n-Pepa album ever. It might not have the street/dance/R&B/funk/reggae sound featured from their past work. But listening to brand new shows a more mature esssence to this group. Frankly, I wasn't sure they could update their style of music. But RU Ready PROVES otherwise. The video is even hotter, and features a cleaner and classier group. Good Life is an honest song, and has a 60's pop sound to it. Say Ooh, wasn't credited to a sample, but it sound very familiar to another rap song by another gruop. Which released their album months afterwards. Imagine, is a deffinate soul song, featuring Sheryl Crow. Knock Knock, is reminicent of Very Necessary. It's about having no time for bad men in their life. Gitty up, is a funky song about, "you know what". Clock is tickin', talks about spousal abuse. It's a funny song too. Hold On, is a good ending to Brand New. The epilogue finishes with RU Ready (Remix). That is the best song on this album, in my opinion.

Salt-n-Pepa does a lot of writing and producing on this album. You won't find any tracks from Timbaland/Missy Elliot, DR. Dre., P. Diddy, and other big producers. But they gave some of their best efforts to make this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This is SnP's best album. They have really matured and improved since coming out with Very Necessary. IMO, EVERY track on brand new is easy to listen to and at least above average, RU Ready, Do Me Right, Imagine are excellent, and most tracks are good to very good. I can't say the same for past albums such as Very Necessary where there were a couple hits, but many songs that are so poor that one has to do a lot of fast fowarding...

5.0 out of 5 stars Up there to one of their best CD's, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

I love this album and really think it's up there to being one of their best CD's. I mean I enjoyed how they talked love and sex but I think this is a great CD. Some of my favorite songs are Imagine, Gitty Up, Clock Is tickin', R U Ready, and more.
