Why all the hate for "This is Not A Test?"

I love that album...why was it a flop and why does everyone (especially on here) think it's her worst?

I love some cuts on "The Cookbook" but I was way more into TINAT when it dropped...I spun it all the time.

"Let it Bump," "Pump It Up," and "Let me Fix My Weave" are the jams!
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

I find The Cookbook a lot fresher than This Is Not A Test, which seemed like a bunch of bland stuff that was leftover from the So Addictive and Under Construction sessions. It was undercooked.

I loved Cookbook at first, but now find myself enjoying it less and less.

How would you rank Missy's albums, badujunkie?

I think This Is Not a Test is second only to Miss E.... I adore it.

The "cookbook" looks like been a bigger sales flop than TEST, TEST had a few really good songs like "Pass that dutch", "Cookbook" is more consistent. Even Missy hates on the "TEST" album sad

It wasnt really well done. It came out really fast and did sound like a "Missy B-Sides" album or something, then tried to make it a real album.... lol

I agree.
tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame
Love is a losing game

It seemed like they were rushing Test to catch the popularity that Under Construction brought. Even Timbaland and Magoo's album was called Under Construction II. eek
