Comments

Slightly better mastered than its predecessors, though some of the tracks still sound a bit muffled, and the last track has a problem with the sound cutting out.

But there are still some cool songs on this album. Mel and Kim's Respectable, for instance. They may be indirectly responsible for the evolution of the abomination known as "Destiny's Child", but Respectable is still 100 times better than anything that group produced.

Like the two prior albums, this has a few songs I'm sure I should have heard before (For instance, Tarzan Boy. Eh?) but fortunately this time no tracks that I plain can't stand.
