I'm literally in love with this album!
I love all the songs:
What albums of hers from the 00s should I listen to?

All For You is terribly underrated. It's her album with the best album tracks. People are crazy about Trust A Try, I think Truth is one of her best songs ever, When We Oooo, China Love and Love Scene are pure bliss, ethereal sex... Feels So Right was single worthy and Better Days is incredible, so uplifting, so well done.
As for Damita Jo I'd just slash Strawberry Bounce, Spending Time With You, Warmth, Moist and Truly. How can people say Damita Jo has less filler when it has these tracks?

Yeah, Damita Jo had way more filler and dragged on more. All for You was perfect. It is a great album. The dance songs were fire and so are the midtempos and ballads. The production on All for You is fresher and a stand-out even above some of her older albums. Someone to Call my Lover, Feels so Right, Come on Get Up, Trust a Try, When we Ooo, All for You. The Chinese instrumentation in Doesnt Really Matter and China Love. The Rockwilder remix. The Son of a Gun remix

Im sorry guys but AFY did not wear well with me. SOAG is just an overrated track. STCML is the worst possible use of such a great sample. I hated that song. China Love and YAR are amazing.COGU, FSR, WWO don't quite get there for me. Trust A Try didnt stand the test of time...I think it wouldve held up better had it been a single. Virgin cut the era short after the Mariah fiasco.

Wait, how can anyone say this album sounds the same lyrically? She covers a wide range of topics here?
1 song about Michael (Broken Hearts Heal)
1 song reading the hell out of the industry (Dammn Baby)
1 song about the media staying out of her business (The Great Forever)
1 song about an abusive relationship and a woman who won't leave (Lessons Learned)
2 socially conscious songs (Shoulda Known Better & Black Eagle)
1 song about missing her lover (No Sleeep)
1 song that's a love letter to the fans (Unbreakable)
1 song about her travels the last few years (Well Traveled)
2 pure dance songs (Burn It Up & Night)

Got my deluxe version earlier. The bonus tracks are pretty sweet too. I also heard "Burnitup!" in the club last night. It was amazing.

After You Fall is also about Michael, so is the first half of Black Eagle subliminally. Dream Maker/Ephorpia is also a socially conscious Euphoria done brilliantly. The whole song is basically a fantasy of her envisioning a better world and she does the spoken word during the bridge in a very fantastical, disillusioned voice. And as the Motown sample keeps going throughout the song, notice that it keeps stopping and rewinding. That represents that it is all just a dream/fantasy and in the end the song just fades out into the rewinding. That represents her going back into reality and that everything she just sang about was merely just a fantasy, not a reality. It's very poignant given the state of the world today.

So are all editions of the album in a digipak? I know it's nitpicky, but I'd really prefer a jewel case.

The Great Forever has quickly become in my top 3 on this album
I mean, this lyric alone
Still it might sound strange to you
but what you think, it don't mean nothing at all (doesn't change)
Doesn't change who I am (doesn't change)
Doesn't change who I love
Janet PREACHING the truth. 
and the sneeze, only Janet could do that
