Twins Brandon and Brian Casey, heart and soul of Jagged Edge, have got a good thing going: What artist wouldn't want to clone himself in the name of tight harmonies and flow that's DNA-deep? Jagged Edge, the brothers' fifth outing with bandmates Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo, finds them tight as ever, only in a slightly raunchier mood than we're accustomed to (were previous Jagged titles plastered with "EXPLICIT" stickers?). All the standard seductions expected of smooth R&B operators sit in a mid-disc, mid-tempo clump--"Get a Lil' Bit of This" begets the moaner that is "Crying Out," which begets the tender "Good Luck Charm"--and padding them on either side are a handful of songs on which the word "lovin'" could be rhymed with "hotter than an oven" interchangeably. "Watch You" paints a lusty post-shower scene, the title of "Baby Feel Me" is to be taken literally, and "A** Hypnotic" pretty much speaks for itself. The exception is "Season's Change," on which superstar John Legend guests. There, the vibe is "Ordinary People" and the vocals are a small miracle of give and take, besting even this disc's two likable Jermaine Dupri-produced tracks. Is there anything Legend--who's fast growing into his last name--can't class up? --Tammy La Gorce

Glad the wait is over - as good as I hoped for :-) May 10, 2006

These guys are so amazing. I love them so much - they have such soul and fantastic harmonies. I've loved them since the mid-late 90's and own every cd of theirs. Till now, I thought Hard was their best cd, but this is as good if not better. This is off the chain.
I always like to pick and highlight 4 songs for cds I review, but this was hard to narrow them down. I guess (while they are all tight) the best are Seasons Change, So High, Baby Feel Me and Watch You. They are great, but the whole entire disc has been totally worth the wait for their new music.
If you are a true R&B fan, you'll be familiar with these guys already. If you aren't - what a shame. You have to go pick this up right now. You WON'T be disappointed. This is so good.

Another good R&B album May 10, 2006
5 out of 9 found this review helpful

This is another good JE album. It has a few more up tempo songs (not necessarily party tracks) than ballads. It's good to see them keep R&B music going. Over all if you are a fan of JE and like their other album then you will like this one. I just bought it without reading and reviews or hearing any of the tracks except Lucky Charm and So Amazing. I'm not disappointed at all that I did.

Standard Jagged Edge May 16, 2006
5 out of 9 found this review helpful

After a six month delay due to bootlegging and the lead single failure, Jagged Edge returns with their fifth self titled CD. The CD offers more of what JE fans have come to expect which isn't really saying a lot, considering the group has been in the game for ten years now. The production is the same of the majority of the CD and once again those damn twins handle most of the singing. While there are some standout tracks such as Seasons Change, Baby Feel Me and Hopefully, JE is going to need to come harder on CD number six to keep me as a fan.

Plain Average May 21, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

As I started to play the 5th album from Jagged Edge, I was expecting to hear the classic, R&B Jagged Edge we all know and remember. But, as the songs kept going by and track after track I lacked to find standout tracks and tracks that were worth listening to. Don't get me wrong the album still has its strong points with tracks such as "Good Luck Charm" and "Watch You". "Good Luck Charm" is a great song and after hearing it I was expecting more of the ladder on the self-titled album, but didn't quite find what I was wanting to hear. Although with the track "Baby Feel Me", I found that JE music I had been expecting. "Baby Feel Me" is a great smooth track that any R&B fan will enjoy. "Hopefully" also provides that soulful JE music and also is a great track. The "Reggaeton" appeal track "So Amazing (Feat. Voltio)" is a nice uptempo club type of track that will grow on you for the most part. Overall, the album is just plain average, with a standout track here or there, but for me most of the album is skippable. For the most part, it wouldn't be a "risk" buying this, so go out and buy it and support the veterans of R&B.

Favorite Tracks:
1. Good Luck Charm
2. Baby Feel Me
3. Watch You
4. Hopefully

Totally Disappointed May 9, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have been anticipating this album for months now and i couldn't be more disappointed. I love Brian and Brandon and respect all of their work but I cant believe they even put this out. Good Luck Charm is the best thing on here. When I heard good luck charm I expected the rest of the album to be just as great but it definetly isn't. Lots of bad production and filler songs. It is gonna take a spectacular and immediete album to make up for this work. Maybe next time guys. I do not reccomend this cd. Maybe the low album sales will smack some reality into them and make them return to their original great music. Love tthem but hate the album.
