One of the top 5 R&B debuts of all time. No filler. You can play it all the way through, now how many albums today can you say that about? ~This brown experience made me the man that I was meant to be~

One of my all time favorite albums. I jammed the hell outta this in 7th grade. Groove Me was my JAM! [Edited 8/30/06 22:35pm] | |

The reception to GUY's first album started somewhat slowly, but then as more songs were being played on radio stations and Teddy Riley as a producer was getting more face time the album exploded. Some of the songs like "I Like" and "Spend the Night" were helped by remixes when they became singles.
Overall, a very solid first album that outside of the Timmy Gatling songs ("You Can Call Me Crazy" and "My Business") were in constant rotation for 18 months. If this album is re-issued, it would be nice that the remix to "My Fantasy" would be added.

You can get mixes of that on the remastered Do the Right Thing soundtrack (although not exactly the one you want). The video remix of "Spend the Night" should be priority #1. #2 should be all of the 12" mixes. I want a two-disk set! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Personally, the Timmy Gatling songs can be dropped in favor of "My Fantasy" for these reasons: 1.) Gatling quit GUY before the album hit the streets. 2.) "My Fantasy" was GUY's first chart-topping single. 3.) "My Fantasy" was definitely more in line with the sound and style associated with GUY. "You Can Call Me Crazy" and "My Business" don't fit with the rest of the material, especially in light of Gatling no longer being in the group. 4.) Of all the songs on that album, the Gatling songs got the least rotation on radio stations, in clubs and in people's personal music and they were least memorable.

The second album did it for me. That intro..then "Her" kicks in. Bloody great.
But some of the remixes are great for tracks on both albums, such as "Teddy's Jam 2" and definitely "Spend The Night". | |

With GUY's first album, you can insert the remixes to "Round and Round (Merry-Go-Round of Love)," "I Like" and "Spend the Night" in place of the originals. You can add the remixed version of "My Fantasy" and remove the Timmy Gatling songs and you're set.
With "The Future," you almost have to release a remix album. "Wanna Get With U" can be be replaced with the video version of the song (which sounded like the club remix at the end of "The Future," save it had the complete lyrics). But the singles "Let's Chill," "Do Me Right" and "D-O-G Me Out" each had at least two great remixes each and it would be unfair to single one out over the others.

| Yep, yep
I just got my 12" maxi single of "My Fantasy" bounced to CD last week. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

I personally prefer it over guy's debut. Guy did the best remixes. "i like" and "round and round" are killer. "It ain't over" Also, yes, the "dog me out" remix with aquil kicks major ass. | |

The original version of "I Like" is perfect and essential. They can add the remix, though. "You Can Call Me Crazy" is great. "My Business" is the weakest track, but I still wouldn't cut it. With "The Future," you almost have to release a remix album. "Wanna Get With U" can be be replaced with the video version of the song (which sounded like the club remix at the end of "The Future," save it had the complete lyrics).

Now you're talking. You forgot the single that, outside of "D-O-G Me Out," was most improved by a remix: "Let's Stay Together."

Adding new vocals and beats etc.... i think "dog me out" remix is the only time u hear damien hall on lead vox for Guy? The "her" remix is hot too | |
