PS: yes, i reduced her smile on the cover because i think her smile was over exaggerated. There's nothing to laugh or smile about in this new album. Plus she is banned and boycotted from MTV and TRL. She's 40 + years old and she still likes to show her breasts in her videos which i think is okay for a young girl but for a mature woman , that's really childish and silly. Stop smiling that much. You're so much better when u're not trying that hard.

really average.

and i mean R.E.A.L.L.Y.

To me , this is not THE janet jackson i knew since 86.
This is a whole other person. Maybe this is Jermaine Dupri's wife.
I dunno.
But this DOES NOT sound like janet to me.
It's poor, pale, tasteless and generic.

This is even WORSE than "all for you" or "damita jo".
DAMITA JO is soooooooooooooooooooooo much better than this generic cheapiest songs collection called "20 Y.O" (which by the way is a cheap title for a old 40 plus years old woman).

Just let me know when this **** leaks

THE WORST ALBUM IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC! Okay, that should satisfy Lecritikeur.

To the rest of the sane people on the board: Great album Jan! I am feeling So Excited, Get It Out Of Me, This Body, Enjoy, Daybreak, and Show Me. Go head Miss Jackson.

This is a pretty good album I think. She's getting in with the new stuff. Much better than some of her other albums.

It's so funny how everyone has given up on this album at this forum. Without even listening to the clips. There has only been like 3 replies today!

Hey, my speakers don't work do you think I'd like the album if I liked All for You ?

Maybe if we vote for her video enough times she'll debut or have a first look? I don't think the boycott is strong since they were giving away the ring tone Call on Me on TRL a few weeks ago.

how do you explain the fact that from all the major singers in the industry who are releasing an album this month, only janet was absent from

- mtv VMA
- fashion rocks VH1

those appearances are most of the reason why people got interested into justin timberlake's new album.

personnaly this new album from justin is just blah.
i give him 2.5 out of 5.

can't wait for the leak! all I have heard so far is pretty dam good

Isn't this her shortest album in like 20 years. :X

shorter was "control" i think
but she ain't got much time during this past 3 years to work on album since she used 90% of her energy to gain weight and to lose it.

i feel sorry for her.
This album is like weird.
when i listen to it i'm like WHERE IS JANET JACKSON?

Since '86? You can't expect her to keep that same swagger, no artist in music history has kept their same sound by the 9th album.. (lol not many make it to 9) Were in 2006, where reinvention is the deal. You were expecting her to sound like she did in '86 which is why you were let down

thank you so much for saying that , that's exactly what I tried telling him in his other thread nobody sounds like they did when first came out or during the 90's from mariah, Madonna , to Janet . and personally I am loving what I am hearing so far and can't wait to hear it in full . I seroiusly think this is Janet's best album since the velevet rope and after hearing the samples they screwed up with the single choices " call on me " is the worst song on the album

But Janet has kept the "same swagger" for the last twelve years? Because ever since 1994, one subject has always been in her music: her sex drive. And she doesn't ever add anything new to the topic, just more of the same crap. It' s like, WE GET IT - you like to ****. Just leave it out of your records?

I miss the Janet that used to actually talk about issues outside of her vagina. Like, the state of the world - or even how she reacted to the painful moments in her life. She's become such a pathetic artist. It kills me.

Did you listen to the first the interlude? When she talks about everything that she talked about before and then she says what else do I talk about? She already adressed the issues for real. If she kept making political albums people would be bored with that also. Anyway not every song is about sex on the cd there's enjoy, call on me and daybreak. I also find that these songs are more senual than sexual . There not like would you mind, moist and warmth which were flat out sexual.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like a bad album...but when compared to her past work it seems very meh. Like she didn't put much work or care into it. Hell, B-Day sounds like a more thought out album, and Bee recorded that in 2 hours.

ROFL.

Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that lecritikeur starts a lot fo Janet Jackson topics and bashes her in all of them? nuroad should be the ONLY Janet stan staring these topics

It sounds allright. Nothing that blows my mind though.

lmfao, please flop, this is a real disaster
