"When I bought Ideal's cd a while back, I hadn't heard a single song off of it. But everyone was talking about these guys being the next big thing and that the song "Get Gone" was real hot. So i bought this album expecting a little too much I guess, cause when I gave it my first listen I wasn't all that impressed. Some of the songs are just plain, with little emotion, and I feel that Maverick just doesn't have what it takes to be a lead vocalist. However, there are some bright spots on this one. I just love the songs "Creep Inn" and "Jealous Skies". "Get Gone" although not what I hoped for, is still very respectable and I can see why it was a hit. It sort of reminds me of a lot of the songs on R. Kelly's last album "R". I know a lot of R&B fans will enjoy this album, so i really depends on one's taste's. I'm more of a Jodeci, New Edition, Jagged Edge man myself."
