This album is a work of art. It makes me wonder how Alicia Keys could have gotten so many awards for her album, when in comparison from a non-R&B fan, Mya beats her out completely. I recommend this album above any of the other R&B albums, even Aaliyah's. This is one that deserves to be on everyone's shelves.Ratings of Songs:
1.Intro--very cool, I liked hearing her voice. Not much words just moaning, but sounds nice. 10
2. Case of the Ex- Well I'm sure most of you have heard it. Gave it a 9.5 it's getting to a 10.
3. Ride and Shake-- I liked it, it's upbeat and has a nice flavour. Definite 10.
4. That's Why I Wanna Fight-- Enjoyed it. It's a 10. I liked it, very cute.
5. Pussycats-- Masterpiece. I love this one. I loved the rhymes, the lyrics, everything. I enjoyed this. If I could give it a higher score I would. It's a definite 10.
6. Best of Me-- Another amazing one. I liked Jadakiss lines, everything on this one is breathtaking. The lyrics are heated and smooth. Definite 10.
7. Lie Detector--This is for a man and or a woman. Perfect song. I loved it. It's cutre, it's fun, it's just way awesome. Completely slammin'. Definite 10.
8. How You Gonna Tell Me-- This is for all the girls, who get advice uncalled for. It's way good. I felt for it. Giving advice when their lives are a mess!! A 9.
9. Grandma Says-- it's an interlude, that's funny. Edumacation. Very funny!
10. Takin' Me Over-- I loved this one. I give this a 10. I enjoyed all the fast ones alot. Danceable, and cool to chillout with, because the lyrics make sense and have a ... flow. A definite 10.
11. Now or Never--Definite 9.5. This is a great song.
12. Fear of Flying--Title of the album. Actually this is the one song I can't tolerate. But once you listen to it more than once, it starts growing on you. So I give this an 8.5, because the lyrics are really moving, especially for any romantics at heart!!
13. Flying--Interlude: This is just her talking and giving a message. It's nice, flows with the song above. Pay attention to the lyrics of the song above and you'll understand this. But even as a stand alone, it has a deep message on love and how much it can hurt.
14. Can't Believe-- A 10. I love this. It's my favorite romantic song next to Man in My Life, on I adore.
15. No Tears On My Pillow-- A beautiful song. I loved it. I give it a 9.
14. Again and Again-- This is a song you can only get on the import album. Or you can hear it on Mya's site. It's a beautiful song, and taken out of the American version and put in place of by No Tears On My Pillow. If you want both, get the Import album. I'm fine with just the regular. And I'm sure this song will turn up on a single. This song is a definite 10.
16. Free-- You don't get this on the album. It's on the import as well. Kick ... a song, one of the [best] songs. It's on a soundtrack. If you can get it, it's worth it. It's a definite 10. The cutest song, and the video kicks .... You could see it and hear it at her site at myamya.com.
17. For the First time: I enjoyed this. It's a 9. I liked it alot.
18. Man of My life: Wow, this is my favorite romantic song. I love this song. I love it. Completely adore it. It'd be higher than a 10, but I can't put it higher than that. I love this song.
19. Get Over (Outro)- it's her thanks to everyone. She sort of sang it or something, I liked it.
This album was worth about 4 or 5 even 6 Grammys. I was really taken and impressed by the work on this album. Coming from a complete R&B hater, I had to give a note on how good this is!!
No hesitation, get this album, and if you can, get all the import songs. There are two. AGain and AGain and Free. You'd have to get the import for those. But you miss out on For The First Time. Overall I give this a grade of 100%. Great album. If you like R&B, and even if you don't, you might be converted if you hear this album. Masterpiece!!!
