I think most R-N-B fans recognize BIIM as one of the best to ever do it. They are the reason R-N-B was so big in the 90's and even today. After a decade of cover albums and unknown import original albums, they are FINALLY BACK. I've been listening to the album EVERY DAY since it dropped last week. To sum things up, its classic R-N-B with a timeless sound. There's not stupid guest rappers or radio-influenced tracks. Most of the production is handled by Babyface, Jimmy Jam + Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, and Tim + Bob. The bonus disc is interesting, It features re-recorded hits from their time on Motown. It's kinda weird because they aren't remixed (other than maybe Motownphilly). They are either re-produced and sound nearly exactly the same or, like On Bended Knee, it might be the actual original instrumental (which is weird without Mike spoken part). I feel that if they were going to re-record some of their classics, they should have remixed them, flipped them, sped them up, or slowed them down. Overall, the harmonies are rich and the melodies are sweet. Most of the album is about love but there's definitely variety on it. To me knowledge, the only place you can get the physical CD is at Wal-Mart. I know there are a lot of BIIM fans on this board and I encourage you all to pick up this album. I think its important that this album do well so we get more albums of original material from them and so that the industry knows we don't just want to hear watered down dance/pop R-N-B. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kReseaNaF8I
