Some of this album is absolutely brilliant, and other parts (namely most of the middle tracks)are just repetitive bores with positive messages
Lost Ones-- 2/5 that chorus is really obnoxious
Ex-Factor-- 4.5/5 great message, singing is outstanding
To Zion-- 2.5/5 I love what she sings about, i just don't like the way she sings it
Doo-Wop(That Thing)-- 4/5 nice view on men and women great rapping that flows with the great chorus

Final Hour-- 2/5 the beginning of that bore in the center
When It Hurts So Bad-- 2/5
I Used To Love Him-- 2/5
Forgive Them Father-- 2/5
Every Ghetto, Every City-- 3.5/5 This song is a nice break from all that trash in the middle
Nothing Even Matters-- 4/5 D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill sound so good together
Everything Is Everything-- 4.5/5 This is my favorite song on the album, great outlook on life.
The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill-- 4/5 Nice song for deep thinkers to relate to
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You-- 3.5/5 Her sounds so pleasant in this cover.

I've been listening to this album since I was about 8 and I've loved it since then. Her lyrics take you to a different place, they make you think. This album is like a journey; through love, hard times, and to success. To me she is like what Kanye West is trying to be now, a MUSICAL GENIUS. She can sing, she can rap, she can write... Lauryn Hill is truly an inspiration to young artists. Some of my favorites on this album are "Lost Ones", "Ex-Factor", "Doo Wop (That Thing)", "Superstar", "Final Hour", "I Used To Love Him" with MJB, "Forgive Them Father", "Every Ghetto Every City", "Nothing Even Matters" with D'Angelo, and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You". I recommend this album for ANYONE who is a fan of good music. BKLYNBABYLON signing off...Free Music Review: Anyone who's heard Van Halen III knows this wasn't best album of '98

I think the thing about Lauren Hill is she actually has a singing voice; She must have had some singing lessons or something. So most of the emotion she sings with is justified by her ability to carry it. She doesn't oversing that much, either. She isn't forever reaching for high notes, mostly she stays within herself. She also doesn't do much 'forcing' of her notes, quite rare amongst female (and a lot of male) vocalists these days. Her vocal delivery is fairly natural. Perhaps that is why this album was so gushed over at the time. I remember TV commercials about it a lot at the time. Plus give her credit for writing 14 songs on her own.
I actually really like modern soul, it's more "groovalicious" than it was back when. Most of these songs are great songs and they have such great grooves. I like the song 'Superstar' with it's harpsichord and harp. 'When it hurts so bad' is also a great track, with it's dreamy harp-filled chorus and tribal rhythms. Plus the title track and 'Nothing even matters' are gorgeous soul ballads. When Lauren Hill strikes a note in a relaxed manner, the result is often the audio equivalent of seeing red wine being poured into a glass. Another song I find interesting is Ex-factor, a 70's-ish soul ballad but as I said before these modern soul recordings have such groovy beats. On that song she tries singing in her higher register all the time and she handles it 'ok'. It's a really pretty song.
However, my favourite track has to be 'Sweetest Thing', she sings it brilliantly and it's such a melodic and beautiful song. I also like her cover of the Franki Valli Staple 'Can't take my eyes off you'.
In my estimation, it's a pretty good album, and one you'll want to play a lot.
