Rated 6/10

Never heard of this album or Erykah Badu before but my knowledge of RnB neo-soul is very limited so probably not a surprised. Really enjoyed this great voice and fear funky vibe throughout. Deserves to be on the list.

Rated 6/10

The album is too long. It's the biggest knock I have on it, it's too long for how unvarried the vocals are on it. Many of the songs, while the messages can be different, just "sound" the same. It's fine for a little while but, IMO, overstays it's welcome. I really like some of the funky bits. It's a perfectly fine album to have on, but not one I'm going to seek out to listen to again any time soon.

Rated 8/10

Absolutely gorgeous, smooth vocals, wonderful production. I loved it!

Rated 10/10

I listened to this twice, the first time just in the background and I didn't think much of it. I only knew "Didn't Cha Know" before and did like it, so felt like I was missing something. I gave it a second listen with my "good" headphones, and was completely blown away! The production is fantastic, great drum and bass sound, and her vocals are really unique and interesting. The panning on "AD 2000" is particularly beautiful, like being wrapped in a warm blanket.

Rated 6/10

Not my favorite genre, but it did enjoy it slightly. 3/5

Rated 8/10

An absolute topalbum in the nu-soul.

Rated 4/10

Erykah Badu me suena de haberla escuchado en Radio3, pero nunca le he prestado atención. En esta escucha de un disco entero tampoco lo ha hecho. Entiendo que puede ser interesante pero no para mí, se puede escuchar como música de fondo pero no me ha parecido algo que tenga que estar en una lista de los mejores 1001 discos.

Rated 8/10

Probably my favorite "neo-soul" artist. Regret sleeping on this album in the past. Like the atmosphere throughout. Very earthy and organic. Really flows. Perhaps a bit too long.

Rated 6/10

merece mais respeito ainda

Rated 10/10

funky and mad rhythm right off the bat. this album grooves so hard. Kiss Me On My Neck is a good groove. Yea this album slaps
