Advantages: A couple of nice R&B tracks Disadvantages: Lots of average tracks
"A Jagged Era" is the debut album from the Atlanta R&B quartet, Jagged Edge. It came out in 1998, and had them follow suit of many of the big names of the game at the time, such as Dru Hill, as well as Jodeci and BLACKstreet who came before them with a R&B style which introduces a fair proportion of Hip Hop, in order to get some males behind them. The group consits of twin brothers, Case Dinero and Brasco, as well as Quick and Wingo. They were signed ... ...soon ammends this by getting Jagged Edge to do things in "Slow Motion". Its a good way to introduce new listeners to their smooth style of R&B.
**Three Stars**
2. "Addicted To Your Love"
In an improvement from the song which preceeded it, the mood is slightly uplifted as you get the group going for a more exciting music. It has them sing about their love for a particular girl, and how it makes them feel. The melodies in this a very powerful, and ...

Advantages: Great voice, great vocals, talented, RnB, Soul, ballads Disadvantages: None
'A Jagged Era' is the first album from this RnB and Soul group. I actually got this album much later than when it was first released in 1998. Think I got the album in 2001/2002 as I had fond memories of it.
I first started to love this group when I heard 'Gotta Be'. This track was often played on the mid-day Sunday show and the late night show on my favourite RnB station by some of my fave DJs and I got hooked on it, still love the track and play ... ...their great vocal abilities and harmony as a group and they compliment each other well and make this group really work.
There's a number of ballads on this album 'Slow Motion', 'Wednesday Lover', 'Funny How' and others. The rest are more upbeat hip tunes that one can dance to.
This album was done when they were with 'So So Def Records' and Jermaine Dupri also features on one of the tracks 'The Way That you Talk' with 'Da Brat' (remember her?:)
