Free Music Review: The Best CD They Have Done
Hit: 5 Stars

This cd so far is the best they have done. I dunno, it could be the lyrics, the beats or the way the group orginally sounded. Whatever it is, it was a great album for the group and frankly (to me, just how I see it) I don't see another album blowing up for them like this one does. Here's a description of how the songs are:

Intro: I actually like how they created that. It blended in really well with the mood and contrast of the cd. It told what the whole basis of the cd was about.

So Good: It one of those feel good songs. Think (for those who have Survivor) "Happy Face" in a spiteful, in-your-face type of groove.

Bills, Bills, Bills: Everyone has heard this song at least ONCE. Overall, great beat, lyrics carry out really well, catchy beat.

Confessions: One of the risque songs on the cd. Basically, the girl in the song get her boyfriend back by telling him that if he can play games, she can play games.

Bug-A-Boo: One of the more Pop-oriented, but at the same time have an R&B feel to it. In simple terms, this young lady who's new boyfriend is constantly keeping contact 24-7 (stalking or smothering-whatever you prefer to call it)

Temptation: One of the greatest beats on the song. The beat can mesmorize you before the first verse hits. Nice, jazzy, slow, but sassy. The song is about the temptation a girl has to cheat on her boyfriend.

Now That She's Gone: This song's beat sounds a lot like another song, but I can't really pin-point it exactly. One of my favorites (but I am a slow-song person, so don't totally go on my word if you're into hyper sounds on this one) The beat is nice. Very R&B. This song is about how a man wants to go back and forth between one girl and another girl.

Where'd You Go: The girls' vocals are matched wonderfully. This song is about a girl asking where her boyfriend has been.

Hey Ladies: I'm not even going to beat around the bush on this one. It is just male bashing with a very good beat. That's all.

If You Leave: The beat had to grow on me. As soon as it did, I appreciated it. Story is-she hates her boyfriend, he hates his girlfriend, what do they do? Do the only logical thing, run away together. (It took me a little while to understand why that solution made sense).

Jumpin' Jumpin': I have heard this beat from Nokia phones to pagers to everything else. Nice club beat. Kind of beat that makes it very, VERY hard for you not to move a part of your body to the beat. About clubbing.

Say My Name: This song has Rodney Jerkins all over it. It sounds like one of his signature beats. Liked the use of the strings in the beginning. This song everyone has heard so no need to say.

She Can't Love You: I love this song. Another one of my favorites. Like the jazz background. It hits everyone of the girls' voices. Kind of makes you feel you are in a jazz lounge while they are singing. This one is about how the girl can do alot better than the ex-boyfriends new girlfriend (think: plot to Mary J. Blige's "I Can Love You")

Stay: Another favorite. It is a very pretty song. It's not one of those sorry songs, it's quite sweet. The girl is asking the guy to stay with her until she is ready to take their love to the next level. (think: plot to Janet Jackson's "Let's Wait Awhile")

Sweet Sixteen: Honestly, for me, if it wasn't for the vocals, I wouldn't like this song. The beat isn't something I'm too used to, but after a few more listens, I was feeling it. This song is basically telling teens that you aren't grown at 16, so don't trip.

Amazing Grace: Great way to close out and introduce the groups vocal stability without music in the background. Shows exactly how harmonious the group really is.

Overall, the cd is very good. If the lyrics don't do it for you, than the beats will or the vocals will and vice versa. For those who like slow, jazzy, soulful beats, this is a great album for that. For those who prefer more uptempo beats, I would say buy this album as well, but there may be many beats you will have to get used to in order to appreciate it.

Writing's on the Wall Poster

Not even Dionne Warwick and her mind-reading friends could have predicted that, over the course of two CDs, Destiny's Child would become one of the most successful girl groups on the planet. But successful this Houston trio is, and their sophomore CD shows why. Yes, the lineup changes as often as lead singer Beyoncé's hairstyle, but fun, disposable pop/R&B needn't be rooted in permanence, and DC is mad fun and mad catchy to boot. With the assistance of hitmakers Shek'spere and Kandi Burruss, Destiny's Child trade in effervescent, hip-shaking, finger-wagging, 'you-go-girl, kick-him-to-the-curb' anthems. The Writing's on the Wall is loaded with tracks like "Bills, Bills, Bills," which are suitable both for dancing and as topics on the Ricki Lake Show. The percolating "Bug A Boo" is irresistible, as is the sassy "So Good." To their credit, the girls can slow the pace down, and on the sultry "Temptation" they get to work their considerable chops to nice effect. But as sales and chart figures have shown, Destiny's Child are at their best when they are laying down the law to some trifling man, and/or working their own groove thang. Work it they do on this somewhat formulaic but ultimately irresistible effort. --Amy Linden
