Best pop album of the year!!! March 16, 2008
R.Thorn (UK)
This album has three things going for it that none of the other albums have. br / br /1. Jennifer REALLY singing. She has the same thing with her normal 'talking' voice that Michael Jackson has. I.e the texture of her natural voice doesn't sound good on record so the singing needs to be given an edge (lots of 'wildness' and 'growling' and more importantly, 'emotion'!) she has really grown in confidence and the singing is now up to the standard you would expect of a pop singer. br / br /2. Diversity. Each song (barring a couple of decent fillers) has something that stands out and there are many different musical influences here. br / br /3. Depth to the lyrics. Although the album concentrates on the same things that every other album from pop stars covers- love etc, it's done well this time. You really feel that Jennifer is getting personal and this of course means you're more likely to relate to her (something needed for longevity- Mariah take note!) br / br /Song by song- br / br /Stay Together. Very good opening track. A personal song with clever lyrics and catchy hooks. A bit amerie-like in places though. 4/5 br / br /Forever. One of my favourite songs on here. A hip hop vibe but pop enough to appeal to the mainstream. The only annoying thing is the blatant mistake of not putting 'home' after the first few 'follow mes' in the chorus. However, it's a classic and needs to be a single as I can imagine a seriously good dance remix for the clubs! 5/5 br / br /Hold It Don't Drop It. A certain Spice Girls song comes to mind...hmm.. catchy chorus and Jennifer expanding her vocal range yet again, something she used to chicken out with on previous albums; leaving it to the back up singers. Not on this album. 4/5 br / br /Do It Well. Yet another stand out track. Has the potential to become really annoying but the break-down in the middle has a catchy enough hook to separate the choruses so you don't notice..! 4.5/5 br / br /Gotta Be There. Considered a filler by some. Yet I feel 'subtley good' is more appropriate as although it's not the most original track (the type whose lyrics are hidden in the music) it still has great production and a lady (don't think it's Jennifer) singing 'ohh' in the background which is either gonna annoy people or hook them. It hooked me. 3.5/5 br / br /Never Gonna Give Up. First 'slow' song on the album. Not my cup of tea but has enough nice melodies throughout to make sure you don't get bored. If I was putting a playlist together it probably wouldn't appear on it but if I just put Jennifer's album on repeat I would leave this track in, despite not usually listening to these kinds of songs. 3.5/5 br / br /Mile In These Shoes. Up there with Forever. There is a slightly annoying 'talky-rap' bit before the almighty chorus but this can be ignored as a minute distraction due to the fantastic verses and chorus. Jennifer really goes for the high notes. However, I don't necessarily think it should be a single as she'd do well to leave at least one amazing song for a first-time listener to discover! 5/5 br / br /The Way It Is. Hmm, this will clearly be a concert power-anthem (like Kelly Clarkson's 'Breakaway') it's considered a filler but again, it's subtle. With the right video (i.e. no back up dancers, just her acting in the video) I can imagine it being a hit. It just depends on how it's perceived while you're listening to it. 3.5/5 br / br /Be Mine. Another 'subtley good' song! Nothing wrong with it. Takes a couple of listens. R'n'B tinged. Like a really good B-side to a single. A non-memorable verse is the only thing that lowers the rating. 3/5 br / br /I Need Love. Nice enough verse. Then the chorus suddenly dips which I wasn't sure about at first but then came around to it. It separates it from the other songs and has a 'heady vibe' for the summer. 3.5/5 br / br /Wrong When You're Gone. The only proper ballad on the album. Again, I wouldn't normally listen to it but to not be biased- Jennifer gets personal on this and the verse is memorable. The last line of the chorus (wrong when you're gone) is a great hook which is very important for ballads. It's not slushy either, there is a beat throughout so again, I'll listen to this when playing her album. 4/5 br / br /Brave. Another top notch upbeat track with hooks a-plenty. The only thing that lets it down is the fact that she sings 'I am brave' in a voice you'd reserve to sing 'I'm a coward'. She should have been growling more in this chorus but sings it using a ballad voice. I suppose she's taking it one step at a time but still it's a shame..still..5/5 br / br /Do It Well (remix with Ludacris) I don't especially love raps but I do like Ludacris' voice. Nothing is really added to the song, other than another gap between the potentially annoying chorus', yet nothing is taken from it either. Wasn't necessary but at least Ludacris gets some more exposure, or Jennifer does or..whatever. 4.5/5 br / br /To summarise- when the singing improves, the quality/diversity of songs you can add to your album clearly improves too, as Jennifer has proven. This is easily the pop album of the year which can be listened to from start to finish, something usually reserved for the likes of Shakira and (let's face it) Britney. Well done Mrs Lopez-Anthony. This is definitely the right direction for you. No doubt. br / br /Overall rating. 53/65 (82%) br /

Brave and Brilliant! November 23, 2008
Sam (UK)
I bought this album only on a whim-I have never been a serious fan and didn't even particularly like Do It Well, but it was cheap and I thought hey ho why not? I am so glad that I did-in my opinion this is an absolute masterpiece and J-Lo's vocals sound sensational on every song. There is not one track on here I dislike or skip past-they are all phenomenal in their right! br /1.Stay Together-Great start to the album, and one of my favourite songs on here and indeed of all time. 10/10 br /2.Forever-Extremely catchy song. 8/10 br /3.Hold It Don't Drop It-Very rb track, very good, but not as good as the others on here. 7/10 br /4.Do It Well-Grown on me, and it is damn catchy. 8/10 br /5.Gotta Be There-A really funky song. 9/10 br /6.Never Gonna Give Up-A great instrumental and a brill song! 9/10 br /7.Mile In These Shoes-A powerful song. 9/10 br /8.The Way It Is-Another of my absolute favourites-sensational! 10/10 br /9.Be Mine-A bit of a whiny track, but its still addictive. 7/10 br /10.I Need Love-Catchy and upbeat. 9/10 br /11.Wrong When You're Gone-A superb ballad only surpassed by the final track. 9/10 br /12.Brave-A fantastic ballad-didn't like it at first, but now absolutely love it. 10/10 br / br /Leave aside any prejudices you may have you absolutely won't regret it-it truly is a fantastic album, the best I've bought in a long time!
