Writing's On The Wall, The - Destiny's Child > Reviews

Advantages: Very few poor tracks.
Disadvantages: Annoying intro.

...of the rest of The Writing's On The Wall which is basically, Girl Power, but in a more sophisticated manner than the Spice Girls ever did it! Each song carries on the theme of the intro, stating one of the DC Commandments at the beginning, such as "Though shalt not bug." but again, please don't let it put you off! With many albums I find that the stand-out tracks are always the singles (which are in this case, Bills Bills Bills, Bug A Boo, Jumpin ... Read review

Advantages: Class set of tunes
Disadvantages: you may not like BEyonce singing all the tracks and the annoying "thous shalt..."

Destiny’s child a group of young females from Texas, not the original quartet, but two missing members and two new members, allegedly due to some kind feud because of Beyonce, the lead singer, but did I notice until someone told me? No. The CD’s a little strange I must say, with an intro and an outro with some weird girl power stuff, bit dodgy if U ask me, the outro is dedicated to somebody by the way. So how is the album, there are some quality ... Read review

Advantages: Great vocals, Great singles
Disadvantages: Too much album filler

Don't get me wrong, this is a good album. I just expected better from these feisty Texan ladies. Out of 17 tracks there are only 9 good tracks. The thing is the good tracks are VERY good, while the bad tracks are just boring. The feistiness of the singles is not borne out in the album fillers. It was very obvious to me that "Jumpin Jumpin" was going to be their next single as it is the most upbeat one that they have not released. And this is Destiny's ... Read review

Advantages: Very catchy songs, a lot of big hits, work with a lot of artists on the album, a lot of tracks, great variation between tracks
Disadvantages: A lot of slow songs can get repetitive first listen-through

...backstabbing?' 'Isn't it obvious - the writing's on the wall.' This is basically saying that the album is for all of the people (mainly girls) who have been cheated on and disrespected in some way or another. To explain this further, between each track there is a 'Thou Shalt...' for a guide for men to avoid losing their girlfriends. For example 'Thou Shalt Pay Bills' before the song 'Bills Bills Bills'. Here is a quick briefing of all the ... Read review

Advantages: easy going music
Disadvantages: will they be around for their 3rd album?

...of music. The title 'The Writing's On The Wall' is said by the girls to "spell out what happens in a relationship when a couple treat each other in a certain way". The concept of the different commandments spelt out before each song came from none other than Wyclef Jean. The re-release of this album comes with a second CD containing remixes of the new single 'Independent Women' (from the 'Charlie's Angels' soundtrack). After all, the girls ... Read review

Advantages: Loadsa tracks. Cool music.
Disadvantages: none, none , none.

..."The Destiny's Child Album- The Writing's On The Wall" Well, not only was I shocked at him knowing the title of the album, but also his sudden change in musical preferance! He's an old rocker usually listening to the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. You can imagine how completely shocked I was! LOL :) Anyway, onto the review... I bought this album at Notting Hill Market for £10 which was a great start. The album was the recent special ... Read review

Advantages: Great,catchy tunes
Disadvantages: none

Destiny's Child can definitely sing! This CD is a mix of ballads and upbeat tunes w/an R & B feel. Its not the best CD I've ever owned but I think their great role models and I love hearing them on the radio! 1. Intro-- Nothing much to it... its short 2. So Good-- This is such a GREAT song! I think they should definitely release it as their next single. It is really upbeat and has a ton of energy. 3. Bills, Bills, Bills-- I think this was ... Read review

Advantages: Quality tracks from the 4 newcomers
Disadvantages: They think they're God's gift to women

Before I had bought this album, it had been recommended to me by magazines and television clips, and after hearing Bills Bills Bills, my favourite song of last summer, I decided that I would go along with their advice and make a purchase. When I got home with this album, I did the foolish thing. I played the CD through once and said, ‘ yes this a decent album’. That was the last time I listened to it, until a month ago. Whilst I was listening to their ... Read review

Advantages: Great Music
Disadvantages: None

Destiny's Child have had their fair share of problems in the past but this has failed to affect the musical talent that they have to offer. This is an excellent offering and well deserved of "The R+B Album of the Year" title. Before I continue I will just say that I have the version with the bonus disc including four extra tracks. The album begins with an intro which, to be honest, is kind of weird. But it is rather funny. The group then breaks ... Read review

Advantages: Cool selection of tunes
Disadvantages: Bit samey, always Beyonce that sings

Advantages: get up and dance or sit and chill!
Disadvantages: none come to mind

This album is amazing- my favourite song of all time is "say my name" and i wasn't that fond of the groups other songs but when my sister bought me the cd I thought I would give it a shot so I put it in The player sat down and listened. After the first few songs I was sitting in my chair bouncing about and by only half way through I was up on the floor dancing. The first album has all their songs except indepaendant woman, but their new release of ... Read review

Advantages: Varied music
Disadvantages: can only satisfy one type of person

...members) and there album "The Writing's On The Wall" just prooves all that if you like RnB then it's a brill album. It has different type of music from " Say My Name " to "Amazing Grace", I would advice anybody who's into RnB to buy this album but if you're not that into RnB then there's not much point in buying it. (By the way there earlier albums are also very good so I would also advise you to go out and buy those albums, ifyou like that type of ... Read review
