For my b-day in 2000, I got this CD as one of my presents primarily b/c I like the song BEST OF ME. Well, that song and a few others are the only good songs on the CD which seems like a rush job and something that Mya was not really focused on. SOPHOMORE SLUMP does apply to this CD which fortunately did go platinum.Some of the best songs are the hip-hop RIDE AND SHAKE, BEST OF ME, CASE OF THE EX,TEARS ON MY PILLOW, THE FIRST TIME. Many of the faster songs are kinda lame and the CD takes a long time to get used to in which by that time u have moved on, but it is a nice effort.
