Tale of Two Dudes, December 6, 2002
TANK- ONE MAN
With the death of Aaliyah Blackground Records biggest draw to consumers is TANK. His first CD "Forces of Nature" was definitely a pleasant surprise. Dude his a talent for slow jams and I was definitely lookin forward to this CD.... The first half of the CD is classic R&B. Great mid tempo and slow jam, Kenny Lattimore smooth love tunes. The second half of this CD is full of Cash Money, Cole Brown silliness. The CD starts good with the lead single "One Man". Track 4 "Supa Sexy" is a nice uptempo happy hour groove. Has some remnants of "Sexual healing" mixed into the cut. Track 5 "My place" might be the best song on the CD. He sings in this cool falsetto voice and the sax solos at the end are tighttttt! Track 7 "Cake and Ice Cream" is a cool cut also. Probably should be his next single. He's singin in like a quick rapid Twista kinda pace and essentially it's about a dude who is successfully maintaining 2 relationships at once. track 8 "Close" is another Tank specialty slow jam. Very sensual jam. track 9 "I'm the reason" goes back to his "Maybe I Deserve" formula of taking the blame for his failed relationships. Track 10 "Make me wanna sing " is a loose remake of Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin U". It features Sparkle and she actually does a good job. It showed some versatility to change that song up a bit without screwin it up royalty. NOW. If the CD stopped here, maybe added another CD filler song I'd say this was a must have CD! BUT NO!... The tracks by themselves are ok. Definitely destroyed by the Baby influence on these tracks. Where was the connection here?? the only track I feel in this mix is a Track 14, "No Why". It's about a dude tryin to get back with his woman after he goes Ike Turner on her. Overall I liked the CD. But he had to mess it up a little bit, had to show his thug side.

What are you waiting for?, May 22, 2003
If you don't have the cd by now, get it already! It's wonderful! It's everything you were feeling and couldn't put into words. If you like some real singing, creativity, great songs and heart-felt lyrics, then you need this album in your collection. If you don't like it, then you just can't be pleased!

Tank- One Man, June 14, 2007
Its really hard to pin point exactly what Tank did wrong on this album. what he did right was make the songs "One Man" and "I'm The Reason", which are two very good songs that he showcases his singing talents on. "One Man" is the tale of Tank showing his woman that he is only what man, and he does not have the answers to everything, but if she will let him, he will love her the best he can. "I'm The Reason" is the heartbreaking tale of a woman cheating and lying to Tank and he finds out. But other than those two standouts, there is not a whole lot of otheer really truly good songs. I mean the party starter "Let Me Live" you could argue as being a standout, because even though i wouldnt consider it a standout, it is still a good track. But thats about it for truly good songs. I mean he should really avoid the thug tracks, where they turn into rap tracks instead of r&b. The amazingly annoying "Makes Me Wanna Sing" is just down right horrible. I mean the high pitched howling woman in the background just drives me crazy. Then there is the "Party Like A Thug" which is just a bad song for an R&B singer like Tank to do. I could maybe see R.Kelly doing this track but definetly not Tank. But this album is not really that bad, there is just not a whole lot of standout tracks, and there is a fair amount of bad tracks, but there is still some decent tracks that are tolerable. If you really like Tank like i do, you will probably enjoy some of these tracks. But otherwise this album is just decent. He can do much better!
