IMO average album with some great songs (though no one seems to agree on which ones those are).

For Me:

The Sun, Moon, Stars (except for the rap at the end)

Man O'War (one of my favorite Prince songs)

Silly Game

It's not A bootleg..the 2nd version is offical
The 2nd Version as far as i know was only sold and also was givin away free as an incentive to joint the npgmc

Some tracks on the album were Alts,remixed,removed,etc

Yea, Rave pretty much bites it. The remix album is good, at least you get the Man O' War remix & Beautiful Strange, but I literally never play this one.

I think it's not so much a "who" as it is a "what".
I heard that it's a diet which, from my understanding, lasts only about fifteen minutes.

Horrible album. The only song I like on it is the title track.

If you sift through the rubbish, there are a few really nice songs on there. My favs are TGRES, Baby Knows, Silly Game and Prettyman. Despite the reviews, I was too much of a fan to ignore the album wink

There are a handful of good tracks ("Silly Game","The Sun,The Moon,The Stars","So Far,So Pleased" and "Wherever U Go,Whatever U Do") but most of it is a snoozefest bored

anymore" though.

One of his weakest albums. But that's not to say there isn't god stuff on it. But my favorite song is probably Silly Game, and that isn't saying much for the album.

And it's probably his most disappointing album. I expected something really hot in 1999, and instead I got a depressing and bland 5th side of Emancipation (the 4th being New Power Soul).

It's pure garbage, second only to N.E.W.S in terms of its overall worthlessness.

There is just no genuine identity to it whatsoever. It's all over the place.

He sounds uninterested and bored in by-the-numbers, chart-chasing pop songs like So Far, So Pleased and Hot Wit U and totally insecure and desperate in songs like Undisputed.

What really kills this album for me, though is the awful flow to it. A disposable song like Baby Knows, with its embarrassing lyrics, is followed up by a beautiful, heartbreakingly honest and personal ballad like I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore.

There is zero consistency anywhere. It's like a quality roller coasting ranging from genius to utter shit.

Then to top it all off, we even get a tacky advertisement for his website on the album.

That kind of typifies Rave perfectly; a soulless, uninspired business venture.
