Don't like the album much. She does trampy electro/rnb beat songs the best, and there is hardly any here besides for Physical Thing (which is good) and ECSTACY and UNIVERSE (which are average). Doesn't have strong singles to drive it. Some good album tracks (Work it Out, No Way) but a lot of medicore "cute" (nothing as good as JUST THE WAY YOU ARE) or ballad tracks (don't like any of her ballads, they all suck). Trick was so much better, on another level completly.
The whole album just sounds so uninspired. I guess she was aiming for the slow/mid-tempo R&B sound on this album, but it doesn't suit her. Especially when 2/3rds of the album follows that similar formula.
I'd give it a 3 or 4 out of 10, purely for Physical Thing/Work it Out/No Way being decent songs, and step into my world, ecstacy and universe being listenable. Easily the worst album of hers that I have heard.
