Advantages: Great funky beats, Harmony's that have to be heard to be beleived Disadvantages: Riddle is a touch repetitive. Don't buy this album if unless you don't mind hearing Rachmaninov and Tcheikovsky with a modern twist!
...are some brilliant tracks on Masterpiece Theatre. My personal favourites are No, No, No (Can't come back), Latin Soul and Beat of Love, all of which are great feel-good, get-up-and-dance tracks. The other highlight for me is the group of four songs grouped together in the 'En Vogue Love Suite' in which they take classical pieces and put a Funky beat and some stunning vocals on top. Of course, the classical purists will absolutely hate these tracks, ... ...they're all done with tongue fimly in cheek. There are no realy downsides to this album, although I feel that En Vogue sound much better when doing fast tracks than the ballads, but then I've never really been into love songs anyway. There are only two or three slow tracks on this album, the rest are great floor-fillers. This album is a must for anyone who loved the Funky Diva's album, for anyone who loves music in the style of Destiny's Child and ...

If you haven't heard them at all before (like me up until i bought it) I wouldn't recommend getting this album. It's just so not enough from an album.
The songs are bland with no stand out tracks at all. The whole album ... ...of like Mariah Carey before "The Emancipation Of MimI" when she was trying too ahrd to be urban. Anyone remember "Charmbracelet" or "Glitter"?
The songs are lyrically non-descript. Pumping out what you'd expect from R&B. My guess is En Vogue are over
The album cover is really uninspiring but there's no doubt that these ladies are hot for their age.
I thought long and hard for a redeeming feature to the album. I found one and that is the use of ...

When En Vogue broke onto the scene (initially with "Hold on", in 1990, then with 1992's ... more
