I concur. Love this smooth joint! The one thing that I was highly disturbed about with that album was how short many of the tracks were. They seemed like snippets rather than complete cuts. "What's Ur Name", "The 1", "So Much Betta", "Rock With U"...just to name a few. But I love this joint!

I think "Discipline" was decent, but I got tired of it very quickly. It has very little replay value if you ask me. I've probably listened to that album maybe twice since I bought it.

That said, "Feedback", "What's Your Name", "Rock Wit U" and "So Much Betta" are solid tracks.

"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

Same here Cinnamon! Decent release, but not the album we were expecting two years later after 20 Y.O. The concept and cohesion wasn't there and some of the song were meh.

"Rock With U" was two years too early, because Euro-pop is all anybody is doing nowadays.

I love this song. Along with "2Nite", they're the only two songs I really loved off of Discipline. But I do wish it was longer..

Yeah im tired of the androgyny and "gothic gay" videos too. I think thats why people aren't feeling her recent videos as much.

and her dancers are sooo wack/corny/cheesy and they look so theatrical. I wish her and Gil would stop hanging out. I wish Tina could take his place lol

this album had some amazing tracks that have been her strongest for a long time but some complete rubbish too - no in between.

I really like this song - because it's a simple r&b groove - nothing more, nothing less - is it as amazing as "feedback", "rock wid u", "luv" or "curtains" ? - i don't think so - but could have been a good 4th or 5th single.

I think 2nite would have made a good 4th single too since it was on Sex In the City II

I think the singles should have been (in order):

Feedback

LUV

Rock With U

What's Ur Name

2Nite (or So Much Betta)
