I just bought this CD yesterday and Im about to listen to it..what did yall think of it?

Its golden. It was worth the bazillion years it took her/them to release. I love it.

Her best album IMO.

It's as good as any other Sade album - fantastic. I love that her style has changed very little over the years, because it really works for her.

I suppose we'll have 2 wait a bazillion more 4 the next 1.

I love it. I only bought it a few months ago myself. And now I
can't stop hitting myself over the head for not picking it up
when it was first released because it is realy very good.

That whole album is just as joy to listen to. So many good and
solid songs on there!

loved it, i also have the live version on cd. although i liked the album i didn't think it was her best. the only thing about the live version is that they didn't feature the whole entire concert on it, which is really sad, but it is featured on the live dvd that i still don't have at the moment but my favs off the studio album are:

king of sorrow
somebody already broke my heart
all about our love
every word
lovers rock



but my best is:



I don't skip not one song on this album...

All of her albums are great.....

"Diamond Life" is my favorite.....

I listened to it and its cool..I think the CD with ORDINARY LOVE and FEEL NO PAIN is better, I do like this one and as someone said, her style has NOT changed..I especially love SLAVE SONG..I think thats the strongest song on this package....a nice CD!

that's my favorite one too. "War of the Hearts" I LOVE that song.

It's a great CD to have on while you are making out/having sex. It really is!

I wouldn't call it her "very best" LP, but it had some noteworthy tunes such as the title track, "It's All About Our Love," "By Your Side" and "King of Sorrow." It's her sleeper album. More people should get into it.

I would hardly say the album was slept on, It sold over 3 million in the states!

All her albums are must haves. My fave on this one is the title song, I just fucking love it

its beautiful..everything about that album is jus beautiful...sensually (and sophisticatedly) sexified.

Simply beautiful.

I ADORE this album, and Sade.

That's Al Green, isn't it?????

Just kidding.....

my girlfriend looks like Sade, so maybe I should start listening to her.

I totally feel you here. I wore out this album every night for years it seems like. "Frankie's First Affair" completely had me floored. "Cherry Pie," "When Am I Going To Make A Living," "Smooth Operator," everything on this LP struck gold (or should I say diamond).

Promise is a painstakingly delectable effort by Sade, and when I say Sade, I'm referring to the collective -- Miss Sade Adu, Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul Denman. This album was high-quality, premium material. From opening (Is It A Crime) 'til close (Maureen), a complete gem.
