I do like most songs on this album. The ones I like the most are; (4) Nasty Girl, (5) Fancy, (11) Dance with Me, (12) My Heart Still Beats, (13) Emotion, (14) Brown Eyes, and (15) Dangerously in Love.

I bought the album on the first day of its release in the UK, but by then (2) Survivor had been played enough times. I've never actually liked (1) Independent Women, despite all the hype about it. I do like (8) Perfect Man, but I had already listened to it from the Nutty Professor 2 Soundtrack (US), so I don't listen to that any more.

There are more faster tracks on this album than 'The Writings on the Wall'. I don't like the faster tracks that much. They are the kind of tunes that grow on you, rather than tracks such as Wyclef Jean's 'Perfect Gentleman' which I liked straight away.

The ballads are still very good, with (14) Brown Eyes being my favourite, but are not as good as from the previous album.

Truthfully, after buying it, I was VERY disappointed. After listening to it now and again, the tracks are okay, but there aren't any tracks I would call 'classic'.

***My most fave DC Tunes of all time are 'With Me' and 'Temptation'.***
