Free Music Review: Terry Mesnard is a Hater
Hit: 5 Stars
Janet's new album is all that and then some. I've been a fan for 22 years and I have followed every career step she's taken. He says what we have here is a failure to communicate. Well. Janet communicated very well when she said SHE DON'T HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE. Discipline is the best song on the album. And so what she says "Daddy," its Janet and she is being Janet. Don't worry about how a 40 year old should sound in the bedroom. Women around the globe say "Daddy" every night when screwing their men. Janet you are the best. And every song on the album is a banger. I love Discipline and I can't wait for the Tour. Glad I bought two copies of the album.
Free Music Review: Excellent CD
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is really really good. It stays in my CD player. I listened to the snippets and a few songs stuck to me in which I had it on the list to go out and buy. Then it was given to me as a gift and I absolutely love it! I haven't been this attached to a JJ CD since Velvet Rope.Free Music Review: Well ... hum ... I mean ...

This album is sooooooo weird! All the songs seem like old Janet material played backwards. I really don't know what her intentions or expectations were, but if she wanted to give us something new, well my opinion is that she gave us something new about a century too early.
Nobody I know who has listened to this album really understood these tunes. Even I was and still am confused to classify this either as classic Janet stuff with a new consistency but with the same old fragrance or as a blended futuristic avant-garde project that is difficult to understand and love now but will probably be recognized as a work of art sometime in the future.
My opinion is Janet Jackson's career is so staled right now that she simply cannot afford to experience with tunes that will seem way too weird to her target audience. She simply has and desperately needs to go commercial right now. Janet is too much of a mainstream performer to become an American Bjork.
They use to say that "three strikes and you're out" but I'm sure Janet will be allowed to play one more card. I just hope she throws an ace of the same suit everyone will be playing then, because one more wild joker that fails to hit and she'll be pretty much on her way to the Valley of the Lost Jacksons to be received as the last standing survivor of the clan who was finally punched to death by the heavy fist of time.
Free Music Review: No Evolution
Hit: 3 Stars
Being a true die hard fan of Janet's, after purchasing this album I was left very depleted. This was a shock after all the hype that J. Dupri threw around about it being her BIG comeback, and the album being a front contender for Mariah's album.
With Discipline, many of the songs sounded like they belonged on the Damita Jo and 2.0. Year Old albums. There was no evolution of sounds. Even the themes that she tried to cover with this album were themes that she had previously covered with the aforementioned albums.
In my opinion, I think Janet should do away with J. Dupri and his producing, because they do not share the same chemistry as he and Mariah share. Her voice would be better suited with the same producers that Brandy, Ciara, Mya, etc. utilize.
For those looking for Janet to actually sing on this album, you will be disappointed. On most of the album she coes and seductively whispers over the tracks. There is no real singing done, which leaves one to wonder if she can actually sing. There is little to no emotion on the tracks and most appear as if she was lying in bed, on her back, with a microphone above her head singing aloud to herself.
I know for many of the songwriters involved on this project, this album had to be a disappointment. Many of the songs have the potential of being hits with the right producing and the right VOICE. I'm not sure if Janet will recover from her lackluster record sales and bless us with another album. If she does, hopefully we'll get a chance to hear a more mature and evolved Janet. A Janet that introduces us to her feminine/sexy side, while remaining classy and one that isn't afraid to show emotion as she exuberated on Velvet Rope.

Hit: 3 Stars
Discipline is the second Janet Jackson album in a row that I finished listening to without having any idea what to rate it afterwards. It's not that the album is bad; it's just, well, maybe it's because of the way the album is structured.
Some people might think the album is too long after learning that it has 22 tracks, but it's actually less than an hour: several of the tracks are interludes that really do nothing but take up time (there are nine of `em). Another concern lies within the structure of some of the songs themselves. Songs like "Rock with U" and "So Much Betta" aren't quite as exciting as they could have been because it's really the same verse three times. "What's Ur Name" doesn't really go anywhere, "The Greatest X" is hard to relate to, and "Luv" is just corny.
But there are still some good songs, like "Can't B Good", "Never Letchu Go" and possibly "Curtains". The best song, though, would have to be the seductive title track. Janet can still sing, but I don't know; it seems like she's trying too hard not to act her age (especially evidenced by mindless club tracks like "Feedback" and "Rollercoaster"). Discipline could still probably rock a party, but unless you want to complete your Janet Jackson collection, B.I.F.
