I love Stripped's singles; Back to Basics' single choices were a mixed bag. That might be why people on music forums prefer Stripped.

I think Back To Basics fared better with critics because it was a risk nobody else was probably willing to take at the time. However I think nearly everyone agrees Stripped > Back To Basics. If they don't don't, then

If you look at Scott Storch's "review" of Back To Basics, you'll see what I mean.
