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 Child's problem. Their uptempo numbers ("Bills", "So Good", "Bug a Boo", "Jumpin Jumpin", "Say My Name", "Where'd You Go", "Hey Ladies" and "Get on the Bus") are just so much better than their slower numbers ("She Can't Love You" being the only good one). I'm not including their acapella "Amazing Grace" among the 'slow' songs, it's another thing altogether and I'm tempted to name it the best track on the album as it is truly beautiful. These ladies know how to sing. Just leave the mush to Celine Dion.
