I had to come and give my take on this CD.. im sorry i didnt do my review on Jadakiss' cd.. i heard it too late.. but since this just came out.. im still on time.. Im not a Day 26 fan.. i still havent heard their first cd.. im just cool on all the stuff they was going thru in the show.. but I was advised to give them a listen.. so I did.. so with that being said.. here it is..
1 Just Getting Started
I thought for sure that Puffy would be all on the beginning of this.. talkin shit.. maybe wouldve had some of the show clips playing in the background of something.. but nope... i dont know everyones voice yet.. but i think this might be Robert who started the song off singing.. this nigga sound like Lil Kim on the autotune.. the beat is cool and smooth.. has a nice build up to it.. the chorus is pretty nice on it.. they sound nice on the harmony game.. the verses are kinda cliche esp know that they aint got money forreal.. so all the shit they talkin bout they driving, im not really believing.. but its a nice song tho..
2 Ima Put it On Her
Its an obvious radio and club track.. nice jumpin beat.. and Joc is on anything thats supposed to be played in the club... I still having seen this video.. i didnt want it to taint my view of the song.. Willie sounds good on this.. he is def a good lead vocalist.. he could go solo forreal... him a Robert... IMO.. but once again.. the song is a cliche.. but i aint trippin.. i could see the gurls boppin to this is in the bars.. Diddy didnt really need to be on this tho.. i wouldda been fine with out him
3. Shawty Waz Up (ft T Pain)
This song is cool.. not too bad.. not the shiiiit tho.. i like their flow on this song.. they ride this beat good tho.. its a song that couldve used a lil more to it.. its really no depth to it.. its just a nice song..
4. Think Of Me
This one is a good one.. i like the whole story about it.. I like their vocals and the chorus.. they would prolly perform this one good.. this will be one of the songs that I would go straight to when I listen this again.. without making this too personal.. ill just say that I can relate.. ill elaborate on my personal blog.. They speak on how a relationship or feelings can sometimes just happen, even when u aint trying to or lookin for it.. and they tell their partner that when they are lonely, think of me..
5. Staduim Music
I used to see the title to this and be like, "the fuck is staduim music?" and then I heard the beginning part and used to turn it right off.. my stubborn ass never gave them no chance... but the song isnt that bad.. im not a big rock guitar fan.. but they use it okay.. robert sounds good on this one.. he got the more rock star sound.. i could see Diddy's weird ass doin his dances to this shit.. its cool tho.. I personally wouldnt say my love is like Stadium Music.. but whatever floats ur boat..
6. Bi Polar
CRAZZYYY.. that how it starts off.. not how I would describe the song.. but of course we would think this would be the groups song to Que, right? but its not ::snaps fingers:: Its about a relationship with someone who flip flops emotions and seems mad bipolar.. niggas can relate... feel me? U dont even know what to do when a chick gets on some shit like that.. so thats the song for that.. im sure the babydaddy's will feel that one..
7 Perfectly Blind
This one is sooo smooth.. on some chill shit.. the beat is crazy.. sound like a Ryan Leslie beat sort of.. it took me a while to analyze the meanin tho.. how can u be perfectly blind? Its about how when ur around that "ONE", u cant see NOTHING but them... and thats ok.. "I wanna be lost in you.. feel free to lead me where u want me to go.. and yes im going to follow".. man.. this is my new shit...
8 SO Good
This song is def a braggin song.. niggas need to let the gurl know how much we gonna put it down.. so this is about that.. im sure they will have fun with this one on the next tour.. They speak on how being around her feels so goooood.. make u wanna just be selfish and keep them to urself.. i feel that..
9 Girlfriend
Another one of those songs that I would go straight to.. if this aint my story, i dont know what is.. its just about how men get tired of being around these fake and phony females.. and how when we find that RIGHT one.. that will stop all the looking and searching for a GIRLFRIEND.. or a wifey? Check for Roberts part in the bridge.. this nigga speakin my mind..
10 Baby maker
Thats a song title to give a song.. bc we already gonna expect sooo much from that... This is a good song.. Good to hear Que on the lead.. I like the way the switch the leads on each song with the different feels.. they did this one goood.... "this a baby maker.. after we leave the club ill make u my baby later.. going up and down like an elevator.." I like how they took the beat down during the second verse.. I had to nod to that one.. this is a def must listen and a def pick for a mix cd... u feel me tho??
11 Then There's You
Man.. u ever feel like everything is wrong, like your money aint right, work sucks, friends aint friends, u go to sleep and wake up stressing? But when u see that one person, it makes every problem go away? thats what this song is talkin about.. this is a beautiful song.. everyone needs an oasis.. u need someone to put u on a mental vacation from all of the insanity of the world..Without gettting too personal again, I wish women new how important this is for a man. If u are the solution and not an addition to the problem, it would make things sooo much better and easier.. if ur dude gotta go to the bar after a stressful day or before he comes home.. u might not be the solution... If ur his solution.. all he will want to do is stay with u when the wall start closing in..
12 Need That ft Jemermaine Dupri
When I first heard this song.. i said no homo.. sounds like something Gays would like to poppin it to.. im cool.. its a bad sample.. i dont like the way Que sounds on this one.. they shouldda scrapped this one.. this shouldda be a female groups song.. IMO.. "put ur hands up"? nigga please.. i dont wanna see no niggas in the club with their hands up.. no homo
13 Reminds Me Of You
I like this.. this sounds good to me.. sounds like a Bobby V song to me.. (the beat and topic) and we all know how much I love Bobby V songs.. this is just a song about how everything reminds them of the one they love.. thats how things be.. when u really like someone, everything will make u think of them.. and everything will remind u of them.. thats the way its supposed to be right.. im glad Puffy didnt hop his ass on this one.. cuz i could def hear him talkin on this one..
14 Your Heels
The first thing i thought when I heard this was a Fasion Show or some type of mall shopping motage in a movie.. this song is borderline suspect too.. I mean I like the chorus but the words are kinda gay.. like when they say "DIVA.. DIVA".. they sang it like the gay dude that was on making the band with Danity Kane.. i know you remember their gayass den mother.. that always yelled out "DIVVVAAAASSS".. yeah.. like that.. but this song sound like a fashion show forreal.. def skip worthy..
15 Truth is a Lie
This is a song about a man scorned.. He speaks on how he was a sucka for love..and how the chick knew it and took advantage.. Once he got aware of it.. he knew that he couldnt take it no more.. he figures that everything that he thought was the truth, was a lie.. aint that a bitch tho.. That will mess a good man up.. truthfully, this be happening.. so ladies dont do it.. u gonna mess these good men up..
So thats the whole cd.. like I always say, listen to the cd while reading this and tell me if u feel me.. im still kinda up in the air on this one.. i APPROVE it.. i just dont know how long will I or if i will ike this more later.. it could go either way.. it make me wanna watch the show closer so i can see them make these songs.. I was really surprised that I would actually like it this much... i give the cd a 7.5 out of 10.. thats not a bad grade.. thats really a lot better than I thought.. SO i would tell everyone to at least download it and get your own opinion on it..
WHAT U THINK????

This cd to me is just 'ok'. I've loved Day 26 since they were formed. Now I pretty much agree w/ all of your commentary on this album(from a female pov) but I'm telling you I think you would like the 1st album a lot better. The first album is filled with ballads that are beautiful and speak to everyone. I mean everyone can pinpoint a time and person in their life to identify w/ the ballads of the first album. Maybe you can check it out sometime.
check out the first album. CO-Star is my fav.
