I've been adding albums to this site, and as I got to Next, it shocked me that I hadn't previously listened to this. It's been a while since I've listened to Next's other albums, but based on what I remember, this is their best album. 'Wifey' is the well-known classic from this, and one of their best songs with 'Too Close', but there a number of other worthwhile R&B songs with the rest never dipping too low in quality. The weakest moments are the bookends - the Beanie Sigel featured 'What U Want', which doesn't develop into anything, and the dancehall influenced 'Oh No No'. The sexual innuendo at times on songs such as 'Splash and 'Cybersex' would make R. Kelly proud. A cohesive R&B project led by the underrated Naughty By Nature producer KayGee.
Best Tracks: Wifey, Beauty Queen, My Everything, Call on Me, Let's Make a Movie, Splash
