Some of this is very R. Kellyesque, particularly track three 'One Man' - feels almost identical to an R. Kelly song I can't put my finger on at the moment. Like other Tank albums, there is some quality but it is spread around, and you have to find it, and as this is his longest album to date, this intensifies those comments. Some of the beats are more hip hop influenced than we've seen on his most recent albums. Tracks such as 'I Wanna Be That', 'Club', and 'Let Me Live' go for something more club orientated, but with producers like Irv Gotti, Mannie Fresh, Rodney Jerkins providing beats it isn't a surprise that has happened. A lot of the ballads lack that build up needed as well to make you want to listen for four minutes. The most interesting thing in the beats is the Minnie Riperton's 'Lovin' You' sample in 'Make Me Wanna Sing'. Not bad, but not enough of these sixteen tracks stand out.
Best Tracks: One Man, Make Me Wanna Sing, Let Me Live, Better Man, I Still Believe
