...favourite band and when 'The Writing's on the wall' was released it made me like them even more. Currently all the tracks are brilliant but in the singles chart i felt 'Bug a boo' wasnt given enough promotion and therefore it didnt do as well as the other singles off the album ! BUT overall this album should be in everyones collection as you never ever get sick of it and its a good way to let of steam ! :) BUY THIS NOW ! ...

Advantages: Cool, violent sound Disadvantages: One or two weak tracks
This album from Destiny's Child is a winner. It combines jumpy, sharp tunes as heard in 'Bug a Boo' and 'Bills Bills Bills' with more stylish, contemporary sounds such as 'Temptation' and 'Say My Name.'
The band have suffered seriously with personnel recently, but these tracks are all sung by the original band, including LaTavia and LeToya, so don't be worried about a difference in consistency with a change of singers.
Unlike some albums, where ...

fantastic CD Review ofWriting's On The Wall, The - Destiny's Childby
dcgirl2000
Advantages: amazing tracks Disadvantages: none
These girls are going to go down in history and this CD shows why. The writings on the wall is absolutely fantastic. On the CD there are a variety of excellent tracks, ranging from beautiful ballads (Stay) to uptempo dancetracks (Jumpin' Jumpin') to summery sounding upbeat songs (Bug-a-Boo). The album has succesfully given these girls the status as one of the best R'n'B groups around at the moment and I personally think that they are going to be around ...

Advantages: cool fast upbeat rhythm Disadvantages: Need some more new songs
Destinys child is been around for quite a long time now, and although is seems they were gone for a while they certainly came back in style, this new album is JUMPIN!!
With the cool fast lyrics the upbeat tempo who could ask for more, the song writing is imaginitive like Bills Bills Bills, and Bugaboo.
Usually from RnB you get all these luv songs, and hey we like them but this album is unique these women bring a kinda "Girl Power" that the Spice ...

WICKED!!! Review ofWriting's On The Wall, The - Destiny's Childby
shaunysheepy
Advantages: Some dancing trakcs, some relaxing tracks Disadvantages: none whatsoever!
This is the best R'n'B album I have ever bought! I did have to take some stick from my mates when i first bought it but after listening to it just a few times they were also turned, the singles that have been released are catchy and relaxing and the other trakcs on the album are also quality.
i would recommend anybody to go out and buy this album today regardless of what music they are in to because it is simply one of the best R'n'B albums in ...

Advantages: the fast ones Disadvantages: the slow ones
Why do American R'n'B groups insist on making their albums so long? Six tracks could easily be culled from the 17 (!) on offer here to make a much tighter set. Well, I guess you can always use your CD player to program out the rubbish ones, so this isn't too big a criticism.
You almost certainly will not be able to sit still whilst listening to this record. Openers "So Good" and "Bills, Bills, Bills" will have you dancing in your chair; "Bug A ...

Advantages: Excellent music Disadvantages: Some of the gospel songs are a bit boring
...album by Destiny's Child, The Writing's On The Wall is fairly old it is still, and will remain a firm favourite of mine for years I'm sure.
I first bought the album before my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition so that I could listen to some different music whilst walking among the hills of the Lake District. The album had been recommended to me by many of my friends, so I just had to give it a go.

Classy Ladies Review ofWriting's On The Wall, The - Destiny's Childby
ladydina
Advantages: Great tracks Disadvantages: Bit repetitive
Destiny's Child are hitting it high in the charts now, and their first class album shows exactly why this is happening. With pure r'n'b tracks, incorporating both slower ballads and faster, upbeat songs, this suits people whatever mood they're in. When I bought the album I had heard Bills, Bills, Bills and Bug a Boo and decided to see what the rest of their tracks were like. I was pleasantly surprised, as I had not expected much to be honest, but ...

I'm a big fan of Destiny's Child and really like this album of thier's, it's a must for all R'N'B fans.

Jumpin Jumpin

All these made it in to the charts and were smash hits.
I find there music to be very danceable and to set dancefloors alight. They perform very well and dance greatly.

Destiny's Child Review ofWriting's On The Wall, The - Destiny's Childby
Groovygal2_99
Advantages: The edgey bass instruments Disadvantages: The song Sweet 16
Destiny’s Child album Writings on the Wall, is one of the most upbeat, and lyric albums around that would put TLC to shame. From the edgey Jumpin Jumpin to the sultry scorcher Where’s you go, this album is a sure-fire winner. I actually bought their singles before the album, but I thought, what if they only put the best songs as singles, and the album is really awful? Well, I needn’t have worried, because the entire ablum is full of future hits for ...

Advantages: 17 good tracks. Has both intro and outro, and is generally a good album. Disadvantages: Two versions, and I got the one with four LESS tracks, so be cautious, check the back cover.
I bought the earlier version of the album which has only 17 tracks. There are another four on the bonus album, which includes 'Independant Women'.
I didn't actually buy my album even a week before the new one came out. Which annoyed me, because those four tracks make a lot of difference.
Though with the sensational hits 'Bills, Bills, Bills', 'Bug A Boo', Jumpin, Jumpin' and 'So Good' feature I cant help but feel a little disappointed. I would ...

Advantages: Contains a lot of their hits and good music Disadvantages: Could be a bit boring if R&B isn't your thing because there's not much change in their tunes
...Destiny's Child album - the Writing's on the Wall, for Christmas. I had listened to a few of their tracks before and Independent Women Part One had just been released and got to number one, so I was pretty chuffed when she gave it to me.
I had the double CD, the first CD was the original album and the second CD was a bonus one with Independent Women and a few Christmas songs on it.
At the beginning of every song Destiny's Child give a '10 commandment' ...
