To me, jagged edge reminds me of jodeci, the r&b group that was around back in the early 90's. J.E.'s music, J.E.'s style, sounds like it could have came from jodeci. and that's not a bad thing at all.

favorites of mine are "I gotta be","wednesday lover", and "the rest of our lives". these songs get to me everytime I hear them. I think about that special someone and smile; songs that can do that are rare and hard in these times of booty shaking, thong wearing music that populate the airwaves.

anyone who loves r&b will be very happy with this purchase. give it a listen, sing along with it if you want. it'll leave you feeling satisfied.

I bought this cd a long while ago and it still gets major airplay. When I first heard this group and their single "Gotta Be" I was speechless because the song and their vocals were right on time. We needed a good male group and they were the ones because years later they are still standing strong and no one can top them. Sorry young ladies!!! B2K is not even close. This cd is really good. My favorites are.......Addicted to your Love, I Gotta Be, Wednesday Lover and Funny How. One Love.

Jagged Edge came out in a big way with A Jagged Era. The only reason I bought this was for the one song that came out which was "I Gotta Be". Initially, I was not impressed with this album because it showed no roundness of any sort. Bottom line-
these guys could sing you to your grave if you let them. I'm not hating, these brothas can saaaaaaaaang, but give me some variety. They only had one fast tune on this whole cd. I like variety and they did not provide me with that. Singing is off da hook, productions are mediocre and that plummets my stars down to one. I like to feel sexy and comfortable, not sleepy.
Grade: F

This is one of the best singing albums I have ever heard, I can't get the song " Addicted to your love" out of my head, I think i'm addicted to that song. I have two other favorites on this album. First of all, I have to say that " I gotta be" is the best song on this album, and my other favorite is the song "Wednesday Lover", I just like the way this song makes me happy. I don't have the CD, but my older and younger brothers both have it, maybe I might buy it. The thing I like about Jagged Edge is that they work very well together, and that makes them the " Fantastic 4".

'JE Era' is definitely on the romantic tip and boasts production from super-producer Jermaine Durpi, as well as a few rap cameos. This album shows off the guys' harmonies and writting skills as well. The album features nice slow jams, "Wednesday Lover", the Marvin Gaye remake, "Slow Motion" and the sleeper hit "Gotta Be". It also has a few dance tracks like the hit "The Way You Talk" and "I'll Be There", featuring rapper Busta Rhymes. The songs do seem to be similar to each other in some ways, but still doesn't stop this album from being platinum-quality work.
