I'm definently buying this ****; hell MIKE (who should give her a listen cause I'm sure he'd like some of these songs) would even like it. I seriously reccomend this if you "CLAIM" to like R&B. I know Brian, NG, Will, & pyroforce will prolly be listening cause they have good taste lol if I forgot you.

But seriously, every song (Even "Torn") has been re-recorded. And none of these songs (Except "Mo more" & "What Love Can Do" are filler-material. Beyonce; I love you but if your album isn't thios good I wont be downloading it

Songs to look out for on the CD:

"Obvious"
"This Song"
"She Don't"
"I'm Good"
"Torn"
"Tear Da Club Up"
"So Special"

My Rating: 9/10 (Cause honestly "No More" could have been eiother BETTER or taken off lol)

Buy the album (well have fun downloading it anyways) July 25th! She will be one of the two artists I upport by buying the album (along w/Lupe Fiasco)

I think the album is OK. All the tracks kind of sound the same.

I wonder how much she will sell? I think she will maybe go Gold.

I will DEF. be getting this album... "I'm Good" is REALLLY good, "She Dont" is hot, I have her mixtape so i've heard some of these songs... I just wish she woulda added "I'm a Queen"

Pyroforce, she doesn't have the legal rights to "I'm A Queen" because that's originally based off a T.I song ("I'm A King"). But "I'm Good" has been improved on too lol.

And "All Eyez On Me" needs to be that thirs single if it isn't "Obvious", "I'm Good", or "Tear Da Club Up".

Opps. I didn't realize "I'm a Queen" was from "I'm a King", makes sense though cause she has "Outta Control"... Oh well =) i'm listening to the album now

I might check this out.

i have to check that up, letoya <333

My Official Album Review. Feel free to critique it.

I have listened to the album through and through. Go cop it. Seriously. It's out July 25th so support her because she's bringing heat. And here's my disclaimer:

90% chance says this is/will be better than "B'Day" so Beyonce better bring heat with 10 tracks cause if not I'm not buying

Onto The Review:

Track 1: Intro
--Who actually listens to these? Not I <_<

Track 2: U Got What I Need
--I think this is OKAY. Nothing special. It's soulful but there HAS to be a reason that when she ATTEMPTED to release this, it didn't get anywhere. One of the few songs I'm not particularly in love with.

7/10

Track 3:So Special
--Great lyrics, great beat and great vocals. But I dont reccomend this in continous repeat cause it can (AND WILL) Get annoying fast. This was one of the first songs that leaked I believe (Besides "AEOM, GG, & UGwIN) so I'm glad it's been re-done.

8/10

Track 4: Torn
--Hell yeah. The song has been re-done with a altered beat so iut sounds more fufilling. One of the definite highlights of the album.

10/10

Track 5: What Love Can Do
--Umm yeah. This sounds liek a faster, less quality beat, better worded "Torn". I don't like how this and "Torn" are like the same concepted songs and are back to back. At least it's a really good "FILLER" song.

8/10

Track 6: She Don't
--This is the summer jam. like "So Special" it can get old when played repeatedly. Not really vocally demanding but it's a good song with a nice concept and also; yall KNOW that beat change in the second verse is slick as HELL.

8.5/10

Track 7: Tear Da Club Up (H-Town Version) F/Bun B & Jazze Pha
--WTF? did I ever mention that I absolutely HATE this version? J/K. It's hot as hell but I dont reccomend it if you hate "chopped & screwed" music. And Jazze Pha did a okay job of producing this but his stuff seriously always sounds the same nowadays.

9/10

Track 8: All Eyez On Me F/Paul Wall
--Paul Wall's verse is slick (but would have been beter suited for Chamillinaire. i know yall heard his verseon Ciara's "Get Up <3333). Anyways, this songs has been online since fire was invented and should have been a definite single choice but I think because they tried already, it's out of the running. It's a shame cause this song could really cross her over on Pop Radio.

9.5/10

Track 9: Hey Fella H/Slim Thug
--Slim Thug has had a very BORING year with him being on Bee's "Check On It", being on THIS song, and being in the "She Don't" video. This song is okay, but it's JUST as boring as "Slim Thug's voice " I love this beat cause it's so relaxed too lol.

7/10

Track 10: Gangsta Grillz F/Mike Jones & Killa Kyleon
--One of my favorites. the bass <333, the chorus <333. Toya has a few hits up her sleeve and this is a great song. I prefer it over "She Don't" as a single choice cause it's a summer jam. Should have been a single but there's still a chance. And Mike Jones delivers a okay appearance along with a unknown Killa Kyleon. The ad-libs during the chorus are ot too.

9/10

Track 11: Something 4 Ya
-- *sings* ' I got something 4 ya so won't ya come over'. Nice song though it leaves something to be desired.

8/10

Track 12: Obvious
-- This is the best song oin the album. PErioud. At one point this better be a single. Hell, I wold have picked this over "Torn" cause the lyrics and vocals are on point as hell. And this single handedly puts "Deja Vu" to shame even though it's a slow song. This was one of the 3 songs that never leaked until the full album did and I'm glad cause I actually think a slow songs like this COULD be the album highlight. Mid/Slow tempo R&B could be her niche cause this **** is nice as hell. Easily on my Top 4 songs list for this album.

10/10

Track 13: I'm Good
--Another banger with a point? Thank GOD that awful Ebony Eyez rap is gone cause it was pure ****. The beat is fire along with the vocals. Definentkly the most undderrated song on the album cause it never gets a mention. And they new lyrics are wAYYYY better than that last version. Definently up there with "Obvious" and "Torn".

10/10

Track 14: This Song
--Janet Jackson better be pissed because Jermaine Dupri definently did LeToya a favor and screwed Janet by giving Toya a hot production like this. Another great song and I really think thi would be a nice single but Pop Radio wont eat this up like R&B would. I really think this another great song.

9/10

Track 15: No More
--Did I ever mention that this isn'tmy favorite song? Well, I had a change of heart. It's not chopped and screwed anymore and the horns at the beggining. The story of the song is sad and you can feel the emotion. For some reason, this reminds me of a Aaliyah song.

7.5/10

Track 16: Outro
--I listened <3333333. Nice vocals and a nice way to close out the album. And her voice is SOOO country.

N/A

Track 17: Tear Da Club Up (Other version, BONUS Track) F/Jazze Pha & Bun B
-- I like this way more than the other version and it's a nice little touch to the album. Potential single choice?

8/10


Overall

8.5 Which is a VERY solid debut album <333

Where can I dload it???

*Sent link*

I'll download it tonight. AND buy it. I support DC3 members <333

Wow she kept this from downloading until 6 days before her album is released. Who's her manager, because THAT is awesome. Madonna couldn't even do that :-s

Thanks!!!!!

And you know what, this album is a very very good R&B album, very very solid debut!

send me link too please

You know, some of the album has TWOTW vibe, and woohoo thats good!

I'm thinking "Obvious", "All Eyez On Me", or "Tear Da Club Up" as third single choices. Anyone else?

I dont really like.

Wow this is a really good album.

! = potential single/hit

Track 1 | Intro
Track 2 | U Got What I Need
-I remember going crazy over this one when it was first released. I didn't expect it to do much, only because of the time period it was released in, and I was right. I wish it was never released originally because it could probably work in the Urban market this current year. Anyway, it's an nice R&B that's just as good as "Torn." 5/5
Track 3 | So Special
-Yet another track I heard a bit ago but it's been re-done and it sounds even better this time around. It falls a bit short (lyrically) but I'm loving this Teddy Bishop production more than I have originally. 4/5
Track 4 | Torn
-The album is so cool to hear. It actually makes me like the song even better. I've already expressed my love for this jam so no need to go on. 5/5
Track 5 | What Love Can Do
-I'm not really feeling this. I'm not sure if I can classify it as filler because it appears so early in the track listing but it sure does sound like it. At least you don't have to skip over this but it definitely is something I wouldn't want to see as a single. 3/5
Track 6 | She Don't
-Like "Torn", this grows on you like an neglected infection lol. The beat-change certifies this song "mid-tempo" which makes it even hotter. I seriously hope this can become the hit "Torn" has become because it's definitely deserving. 5/5
Track 7 | Tear Da Club Up (H-Town Version) featuring Bun B & Jazze Pha
-Hot, ghetto, club, yet predictable track. I FCUKING LOVE THIS!!! 5/5 !
Track 8 | All Eyes On Me featuring Paul Wall
-I was addicted to this track last summer. It was probably the most overplayed track of that summer even though I haven't heard it on the radio once. My opinion has never changed and the song still sounds fresh. 5/5
Track 9 | Hey Fella featuring Slim Thug
-I agree with Arith greatly here. Great production but God, Slim Thug's "slim talent" ruins this track for me. Well at least Toya is here to save the song. 3/5
Track 10: Gangsta Grillz featuring Mike Jones & Killa Kyleon
-This track is BAAAAAAAAD but that's a good thing, in fact, it's a great thing. It carries so much attitude and the beat is f'ing insane. I loved this track since I first heard it. 5/5 !
Track 11 | Something For Ya
-First time hearing this and wow, it's really good. I didn't expect the production this track features. It's weird but I think I'm crazy for this one, hehe. 4.5/5 !
Track 12 | Obvious
-This is most definitely her best track, vocally. She's not over-singing or under-singing (she tends to do both lol). It's my first time hearing this track but I have a feeling this one is not done growing on me yet. 4.5/5 !
Track 13 | I'm Good
-Re-done and *****-less! Her up-tempos are all so good. I actually wasn't too crazy for this one before but now, it's an entirely different story. JAM! 5/5 !
Track 14 | This Song
-J.D.??? You supplied LeToya with this??? I love you lol. HOT! 5/5 !
Track 15 | No More
-You're right, Arith. Rip off of Aaliyah's "I Don't Wanna" and she even sounds like her lol. Still not too bad. 3/5
Track 16 | Outro (Very nice!!!)

Overall | 8/10 - This album is so damn good. Interestingly, it's nothing groundbreaking or unique but it features all of the best elements of today's R&B. Definitely in my Top 5 of best R&B albums by a female since 2000. I wish LeToya the best of luck but with an album like, how much luck does she really need?

Thanks Arith

Damn you, now i want to hear it so bad!!!

I got that 2 but I got a low quality version of it. I would say what I think but some anonymous poster will come here and try 2 make jokes like he did when we had a listenin party 4 this album.
