Considering the fact that R Kelly has released 6 albums prior to this, with several of them double albums, you would have thought they could've done better than 16 tracks on this album (disc 1) and the 8 tracks (3 remixes of which the originals r on disc1) of disc 2.
There are some good classic tunes here with the latest releases, however a lot of the tracks are only included as they made it into the mainstream pop charts (Gotham City,I'm your Angel).
If you are going to call your album The R in R & B at least include some classic R & B from the days when it was more raw and not the pop-r&b you find today.
What happened to classics like Homie Lover Friend, the funky She's Lovin Me and the spine-tingling Sex Me and Honey Love?
Could have included these excellent classics instead of re-mixes of Bump n Grind and Down Low since these r on the album anyway in their original (and better) forms
Some good tracks on here, but I could've compiled a better Greatest Hits album.
The best tracks on this album are:
1) Bump n Grind - (2) SHe's got that Vibe Original, catchy. Unmistakably R Kelly
3) Ignition (Remix) - Phenomenonally successful track, reminiscent of his old tunes when he was at his best.
4) Fiesta - (5) Home Alone - Both excellent up-beat tunes, will bring life to any party
6) When a woman's fed up - very meaningful, every man should listen to this song
7) Down Low (Nobody has to know) - featuring the genius of the Isley brothers. Will have everyone swaying - emotional song
I can't stand Turn back the hands of time. It sounds like a Righteous Brothers song and tho they were good in their day, it certainly doesnt suit R kelly.
Not a bad album though to really appreciate R Kelly's talents, you really need to add some of his previous work to your collection.
