 Destiny's Child March 25, 2005

Ok so I pulled out debut albums of my recent favorite girl groups and wanted to add my 2 cents about DC's debut. I completely agree with Rara Estilo's comments about the enjoyable parts of this disc - namely the harmonies, the melodies of the songs and how well the vocal production is on this album. That's because at the time, they were obviously a GROUP, that's because it was a time before the "DianaRossification" of Beyonce and her elevation to lead singer (I wish I could take credit for that term but I stole it from someone else and find it hilariously accurate).
The standout songs to me on the disc are:
Second Nature (very ambitious taking on the Isley Bros but the vocal production is beautiful)
No No No - Pt 2 (should've left part 1 on the cutting board)
With Me, Pt 1 (catchy, displays all members' vocals)
Tell Me (beautiful ballad)
Illusion (another catchy Wyclef production)
Sail On
It's definitely a disc that fans of the group should have and appreciate because it's a great starting point and reference to see how a group can & did change in just a few short years.

I don't see why this cd didn't sell that well. Believe it or not, this is DC's best cd (vocally at least). There harmonies are tight and the music was excellent. I guess people saw these young girls sounding at little to grown for their own good and dimissed this album for some bubble gum pop that they were expecting from DC back in '98. Honestly, if this was released now, it would be #1. Anyway, the best song on the cd would have to be the opener, Second Nature, because it's so good. No No No Part 2 is aight, I just listenin to the music, the singing was a little off besides the chorus. With Me Part 1 was by far much better that Part 2. Illusion is my second favorite song on the album. It's really the only club banger beside No No No Part 2 and With Me Part 1. If your looking for the best singing from the original DC, this is for you. If you expect something more like Survivor, stay away.

I would have rated this album with 5 stars but their second album is sooo much better. well, amyway...Second Nature--the guitars in the beginning are nice but other then that, it's boring. No, No, No - (with Wyclef Jean, part II)--you all heard this so you decide With Me - (with Jermaine Dupri, part I)--a favorite. the beat is phat! Tell Me--kinda boring Bridges--a cool song. The beginning is awsome. For some reason, reminds me of my kindergarden years but it's still cool. No, No, No - (part I)--you all heard this so you decide With Me - (with Master P, part II)--funny! I first heard the chorus to this song I was laughing hysterically but it's still a favorite. Show Me The Way--ehh... Killing Time--a pretty ballad Illusion - (with Wyclef Jean/Pras)--a favorite. It's more upbeat then the others but the chorus is spiffy. Birthday--not really a favorite but I still like to listen to it. Sail On--a pretty ballad. My Time Has Come--another pretty ballad. If you're thinking about getting this album, be my guest but the second album is soooooo much better.
 Uptempo songs are fantastic, but slow songs not as good August 5, 1999

I loved Destiny's Child the minute I heard a bit of the "No, No, No" video. But I usually end up skipping through at least half the songs on the album. "No, No, No" parts I & II, "With Me" parts I & II, and "Illusion" are very danceable and these women's voices are beautiful. Harmonies are great and the fast songs really make you want to sing along.Their voices didn't seem to be used as well on the slower songs. The arrangements didn't compliment their talents as well as on the faster songs, the backings (bass, synthesizers, etc.) were unimaginative, and overall, they just seemed flat and overly sentimental. After listening to this album many times and always skipping over so many songs, I'm wishing they'd released a shorter album with only about 5 of these songs instead of the full-length one.
Good album, not enough songs March 21, 2001

Yeah, this is the album when destiny's child were like "sisters" until their lil' incident in early 2000. Enough about them. This CD is enhanced which is also called a CD extra. Just pop it into your CD-ROM and see what happens. The songs starts off with a lovely ballad called "Second Nature". Next the hit & 2nd single called "No, No, No-Part 2" f/Wyclef Jean. This song was hot! The 3rd song was the 3rd single called "With Me-Part 1". The tack is called "Tell Me", it's such a beautiful song. You'll love the way how destiny's child blend in their voices. "Bridges" is like a jazz/club song, most likely you'll just listen to the beat. "No, No, No-Part 1", is the original version of the remix, I wasn't really feeling it. "With Me-Part 2 is hot! Basically cause Master P hooked it up with his rap & beat. "Show Me The Way", the intro is too dang long! I like the song though. "Killing Time" is also featured on the "Men In Black" soundtrack. Yes, Wyclef makes another appearance, on track #10 called "Illusion". LeToya sings the first verse. I'm not really feeling the last 3 tracks, they're "Birthday", "Sail On", & "My Time Has Come". Overall, I gave this album a 4 because there wasn't enough uptempo beats. But destiny's child improved on their 2nd album, "The Writings On The Wall".
