1. Some Girls (Dance With Women)
The first single. He sings all but the chorus parts strangely thin. This is a great dance piece but quite heavy to listen, so not very radio friendly.

2. She Got Me
This is the supposed alien song. Well, whatever. I can't figure out the words. Disturbingly similar to Jamiroquai's "Supersonic". Not one of my favorites.

3. 100 Ways
Listen to the back round, and then hum "Who do gonna call? Ghost Busters!" on it. Good song but I don't think that I could hum or sing along if my life debendent on it. Possibly mind altering effect while listening drunk. Just that "Speak your mind" chanting does that.

4. Mercy
This is like Justin's "I'm Loving It". You are like, Where is the melody? Oh, there! ..no, that wasn't it. You could do those "chanting one line" better than this.

5. Build My World
Hey, a ballad. A nice one, even. It reminds me of The Jacksons' "Can You Feel it". I don't usually like ballads, bu t this is great. Pity he didn't save it to the Nsync record, it would fit there also for it's style

6. Something Special
Bright and peppy! With hand claps! I could have lived without the whistling, though. I'm not *that* peppy. Nice and fun, if a little bit shallow. The "na na na" -part sounds like some television shows opening music.

7. If You Were My Girl
Very Lenny Cravitz, indeed. This probably sounds great live, but it's nothing special in this cd. Stupid lyrics, but not stupid enough to be funny, so, no.

8. Shake It
I love the base in this. It's noisy, ala Basement Jaxx. The whole song is based on that chanting bass, so either you like or you hate it. Still, they should have put this on Jaxx' record and take "Plug It In" instead.

9. All Day Long I Dream About Sex
All synth, all 80', so immature. This is the records fist "sing along" piece. It's sheer brilliance. I hope this finds it's way to the party compliance CDs.

10. One Night Stand
This is my favorite! Oh, the Donna summer piece, the extremely dorky speaks. (- So I'm thinkin'.. It's kinda crowded here... Wanna get out of here? - Yeah, because you are *so* smooth. - Yeah, I know..) Add those doggy "auh" sounds and sex breathing and you got the whole baggage! Love it!

11. Come to Me
Channeling Eyrythmics here. Except they did it better. Nothing particularly exellent in this one, exept that it grows on you. Yeah and listen that "Catastrophay" the accent is kinda funny.

12. Dear Goodbye
a great ballad, reminds me of Sade. The chorus breaks my heart. Pity its too jazzy to ever reach commercial success.

13. Everything You Want
Reggae! Sting style reggae! So much that it isn't JC anymore, but a Sting impersonator. Otherwice a good song.

14. Lose Myself
Usually I hate ballads, but I actually like all of them of this record. This doesn't let the listener in easily, so not everyone will appreciate it.

15. Right Here (By Your Side)
It's not a ballad or a dance track and I don't know what it is supposed to be. The guitars make it feel latin, but, dunno.

16. Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)
Its great that they added this relatively old song as an extra. Beat beat beat, bass bass. It's hard not to start nodding when hearing this song. Smooth song, so smooth that some would think it monotone or flat. Well, not me.

17. Some Girls (Dance With Women)
I actually like better this version with Dirt McGirt providing some rapping than the first track. I wonder why they left it off from the video.

The whole album in 3 words: Not Radio Friendly
The best -and in the atmosphere of censorship, now the most improbable- songs for the next single: All Day Long & One Night Stand
What they (maybe) publish instead: Something special

*dies laughing* Dude, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Ghostbusters thing. I was starting to think I was nuts.
