Anybody know where "Feedback" peaked...any chance it could still hit the Top 40? It's at 29 on Itunes and I always hear it on the radio (it's the R&B stations on Sirius, but that is something).

I want to listen to it but will wait until Feb 26th. I hope to be able to get the deluxe edition at Meijer on midnight, but who knows. Anybody know if any stores have specials/extras that come with the album? I remember there was a lot of offers around "20 YO" (and if you bought it at Target to get a presale offer for tickets...that sucks!). So looking forward to this album!

That's stupid. Janet is still good enough for a Top Ten debut, especially in this slow market! The argument can kind of be supported by Jenifer Lopez's weak debut that ended up going no where. This doesn't even cite that...It's not a real arguement and who is this person? And Janet is not J. Lo and has a loyal enough audience that will buy any album she releases...and especially this one from the sounds of it!

I'd heard it's #13 on itunes now.
Hey, check this out! I knew the 1st photo was coming!

I'm listening to it now and I must say, I'm liking what I've heard so far. Can't B Good, which is kick ass, sounds like something Michael Jackson would have done in 1979 for Off the Wall. It's real smooth. There is more to come!

Oh, I didn't hear any responses from people on The Wendy Williams Experience about Luv, but with that said, I missed about the last hour and a half of the show cause of a meeting I went to tonight.

"Discipline" (the song) is easily Janet's best baby-making song since ATAP!

Scorpion said:

Yes it is. Discipline's a great track. I'm listening to Greatest X and this song is great too. That's the track that I wasn't expecting to like but it's really good.

Janet has TWO Vibe covers for April:

I LOVE the new cd! In this case, the availability of a free download (to sample the sound) has just sold me on buying the cd on Tuesday.

I didn’t like it too much when I first heard it. It’s a little too dark but it’s growing on me. On my playlist it’s followed by Love Scene and helps to set the mood but on its own it’s I don’t know. Still undecided if I would add it to my Janet Love Mix.

Well, I've heard the whole thing and this is my take on the CD: This album has truly brought me back as a BIG Janet fan again! It's her best album since The Velvet Rope. I think with repeated listens, it may be her best since janet., seriously. It's a HOT album. It's like Janet found her way home with this one. She's a dance/pop artist and she's finally realized this on this CD. I found myself dancing on a few tracks. It's absolutely the best album she's done this decade. I'm too excited about this CD.

Plus, she shut me up on this one too. She really did need some new blood on this CD and the production and the producers found a way to make a consistantly banging CD! I think I may need to find a way to go see Janet when she comes here to NYC! I'm so happy about Discipline!

February 21, 2008 -- JANET Jackson is taking the marriage plunge again. Although the pop star has remained mum on her engagement to rapper Jermaine Dupri, she recently hit up designers like Badgley Mischka, asking for bridal gown samples. "She's preparing for her private nuptials," said one source. Good luck, Janet! Just last week, she confessed to Parade magazine, "After two divorces, I thought I was jinxed. Maybe marriage isn't for me? Maybe it's my fault it never works."

Damn. Janet aint playin. I just downloaded and am currently listening to the leak. This is a fantastic album. Absolutely fantastic. WOW.

purplecam said:

I take it that you're happy with the DISCIPLINE project!!!
Ain't it grand?

DarlingDiana said:

Oh, Janet so put it down with THIS one! Still my favorite track thus far is,
THIS CAN'T BE GOOD.

My 2 cents...

First off, I love the intro track. So cool.

"Feedback", the single, is awesome. Such a club banger. It's got a bit of MJ's "Ghosts" in there, but for the most part this is a true Janet song. I love it.

"LUV" is great. I like it almost as much as "Feedback". OMG, I just found out it's produced by Darkchild. Same with Feedback. That's...interesting. I never really thought much of Darkchild as a songwriter/producer judging by his work on Vince, but these two songs are amazing. Maybe MJ working with Darkchild on his upcoming album wouldn't be so bad.

"Rollercoaster" has great lyrics. But it's the first song first far that I haven't been blown away by.

lol @ Bathroom Break

"Rock With U" sounds like a tribute to her brother IMO. From the start, "I want to rock with you", those are lyrics straight out of Michael's song with the same name. This is a cool song and I definitely think it's some sort of a gesture to Michael.

Things just keep getting better and better. I'm loving "2nite". Such an addictive synth part and guitar. Damn, this song is good. It sounds very OTW to be honest. This is my favourite so far. wow.

"Can't Be Good" is freaking me out. She sounds exactly like Michael in parts. Lol, seriously. Is that Michael? Maybe Janet was sick that day and Michael filled in for her. lol. I know they are brother and sister but damn. Particularly at the start, she sounds exactly like Michael. Come to think of it, this reminds me so much of an MJ song but I can't put my finger on which one. Hmm. Does this remind anyone else of any MJ songs?

I love the guitar at the start and end of "Never Letchu Go". This is such a classic R&B/pop ballad. Reminds me of those 90s R&B/pop ballads. But to be honest, this hasn't wowed me like "Feedback", "LUV" and "2nite". It's nice. Just nice.

"Greatest X" is amazing. It's absolutely heart-wrenching. I am actually speechless after this song. Give me a few more listens to process a better response to this song. lol.

So Much Betta is interesting. The distorted voice is cool. I love the part around the 1 minute mark and right at the end. Now that's cool.

Missy's rapping in "The 1" is so good. I love the percussion in this song too. As well as the orchestra hit synths. The "really wanna ah" stuff is cool.

Im sorry to say, but I'm up to "What's Ur Name" and I'm starting to lose interest.

Don't worry, false alarm. "The Meaning" interlude grabbed my attention and then it led into the maybe the best song on the album, "Discipline". It's very powerful. So sexy in such a different way. Damn, there's even orgasm noises.

So I'm now listening to "Curtains", a decent album closer. Time to recap on the album. This is a great album that has reignited my love for Janet. I've definitely enjoyed this album more than her previous few attempts. My favourite song on the album is, on my second listen, 2nite. I probably give this album a 7.5/10. In short, I really like it.

I'm really amazed at the wonderful reaction this CD is getting from orgers, reviewers, and other people.

I really was not expecting such a great album from Janet!

DawnD said:

Dawn, I'm happier than a pig in shit right now!!! Janet made me a believer again, not just with Feedback but THE WHOLE THING! I'm almost speechless over it. I can't wait for the 26th! My birthday is a month from that day but that'll be a part of my birthday present to me! Oh and it is Grand indeed!

VoicesCarry said:

I wasn't either. I gave up on Janet before 2007 ended, so when I heard Feedback, it solidfied that I was going to buy the album. Then after hearing the album last night and having just about every song be good to great, I'm shocked and amazed! It's just plain HAWT!

purplecam said:

I hear ya', purplecam! Enjoy yourself, sweetie!
Can't wait to see Janet perform next week on GOODMORNING AMERICA!

VoicesCarry said:

I'm shocked as hell too! I have no one to argue with now!

Rock With U sounds like it could have been from a Naked Music release. I’m so glad she’s dipped a little into some underground downtempo type grooves. This is sorta the direction I was hoping she would go in as she matured. Smooth dance tracks.

DawnD said:

Hell yeah! I'm really thinking going to the GMA show, then going straight to work. She's on my list of people I NEED to see in person.

JackieBlue said:

Rock With U has grown on me A LOT. I didn't care for it the first time I heard it but it's gotten better and better and now I love it. How can you sit still listening to it?

purplecam said:

Seriously, under my desk my feet are stomping like I got restless feet syndrome and I have to disguise some of my neck snaps but inside I am GETTING DOWN. Lawd, don’t let So Much Betta come. I have to walk away for a minute.

JackieBlue said:

Dang! It's like that?!?! Go ahead and bop yo' head, JackieBlue!

I love Missy's rap on "The 1"....I am laughing, she is so crazy.

JackieBlue said:

So Much Betta shocked me the most. That song is BANGIN! I've never heard Janet sound like that before. It really reminded me of Prince to some extent, that cold, elctronic funk. I need that CD NOW!

I have a question

Rock and Soul on 34th street (across the street from Macy's) will start selling the CD today.. Does anyone knows if those cd's sold earlier are counted in the soundscan total for the first week sales ??

Rock and Soul is still around?
