Don't really know where to start with this review, so I'll just jump into the tracks. You have the "then" brilliant production of Timbaland, which is showcased on "the Bachelor's" intro. I'm not too sure how much time went into this production, but it doesn't show signs of being a last minute, copy and paste project. Whether it was the interludes at the ends of the songs, the beats, or even the samples, everything comes out sounding excellent, and unique. The producers do a real good job of using samples on songs like "I'll Do Anything," and "G. Thang," where as with some producers like Puff Daddy, it just sounds like they just speed up the original song, changes the key, and adds like a bass-line, or whatever - but the beats on this album come out sounding really nice. Unlike some of the music coming out now, I don't think this album has a 'expiration-date'; the sound of this album wasn't just what EVERYONE else was sounding like at the time---music that can stand the test of time! Now I originally bought this album for the singles, "Pony," "Tell Me Do U Wanna," "I'll Do Anything," and "When Doves Cry," I really don't remember "Holler," and "Only When Ur Lonely" being released as singles, or at least not here in the US. I didn't know about those songs until I bought the album. And after hearing "Only When Ur Lonely" I was happy I made the choice to buy "...the Bachelor," which slowly became one of my favorites. I can't really say there's a song I didn't like on the album, each song is listenable. Though many people feel the remake of "When Doves Cry" was unnecessary, I didn't think it was too bad...it wasn't the best remake, but I'd give an "A" for effort and creative beat. (=-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Track Listing:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pony - 5/5 - I believe it was appropriate for Ginuwine to use this as his first single to the world.Tell Me Do U Wanna - 5/5 - Love the piano intro; nice beat; good vocals.Holler - 3.5/5 - Not to say Mocha was useless to the track, but I don't think her guest appearance really adds much to the song; the song is above average.Hello - 4/5 - A nice smooth beat, but sounds a lot like a long interlude.Lonely Daze - 5/5 +another smooth song, but Ginuwine's vocals are really nice on this one; great beat!Ginuwine 4 Ur Mind - 3.5/5 + can't really say there's really anything special about this song, but its interlude...I really Love (=Only When Ur Lonely - 5/5 - a stand out track in my opinion, the lyrics, the beat, the vocals, I think a lot of people can relate to this song realistically. (I remember the video having Claudia Jordan in it).I'll Do Anything/I'm Sorry - 5/5 - One of my personal favorites, one of his video I rarely see...and the "Stevie Wonder - Visions" sample is nice!World Is So Cold - 5/5 - A sad song, when you actually listen to the lyrics, but Ginuwine does a good job vocally on this track, he evokes so much emotion.When Doves Cry - 4/5 - I personally don't have a problem with the remake, but everyone has their own taste, I enjoy the break-down most of all.G.Thang - 4.5/5 - This is one of the songs that I originally would always skip, but I actually gave it a chance and it wasn't bad, the "LL Cool J - The Boomin' System" and "Portishead - Numb" samples are really nice!550 What? - 4/5 - Actually pretty good for a thank you track, and of course a nice beat!-------------------------------------------------------------------------If you're a fan of Ginuwine, and you don't already have this album, you should get it! If you're a fan of 90's hip-hop soul this is probably an album you'd be interested in, really stands the test of time. Though I agree with many others Ginuwine has matured a lot since his debut album, I find this to be one of his most creative, 100% has some good songs on it, but I don't feel like it was a good sophomore follow-up to this album. I just love how when Timbaland and Missy were able to share this sound with the world, it was so new, refreshing, and different from anything else out at the time, it just upsets me that not too much seems to be original in mainstream music nowadays, and what's different floats under the radar, but it's up to the fans to take things back to where they need to be! Also R.I.P. to Static (Your genius will truly be missed).
