Usher - My Way (3.5 Stars)
Given it only has 10 tracks, one being a remix of another track on the album, it just didnt leave you with enough matireal to really stick with you. See the biggest thing that kept this album from being something truly speacial, was its shortness. But this album was definetly Ush's coming out party. He had a album before this one, but it went pretty much unnoticed and barely even charted. But with the help of three massive hit singles, the mid tempo dance song, "U make Me Wanna", the baby maker, "Nice & Slow", and the more danceable track and title track "My Way", he had a fan base wait for this album. Now, there are some great songs on this album. But there are also some songs that make me wonder. And when you only have a ten track album, that doesnt leave alot of room for error. One of the few good album tracks is "Bedtime" written and produced by the legend Babyface. Its another slow jam. Speaking of slow jams, "Slow Jam" with Monica, is another stellar track, but this song has more of a. . . well slow jam feel to it, not so much baby making feel. But where he goes wrong on this album is when he does songs like the attempted street banger "Just Like Me", where you can obviously tell that he was trying to come off as a thug on this song. And on "Comeback", you get teased really bad with the really sweet mellow piano intro, but then when the song starts up, it turns into another thug song. And then, i honestly dont under stand why he put the identical remix to "You Make Me Wanna" on this album. The only difference between the original and the remix is that the remix has a 50 second intro. Otherwise its the exact same song. But, overall this album isnt bad, it just doesnt establish Usher as more than just another R&B singer.


Grade:
B-.


HIS WAY
You can hear all the elements coming together as he develops into the 'star' who eventurally creates 'BURN' and 'CONFESSIONS'. Usher is starting to really establish himself with this disc.


Yep
Probably still the best out of all of his music. Not as good as I remembered it being when I was younger.


great!
no matter how old this cd this is. . . it is still awesome! usher always has awesome dance music and i absolutely love some of the slow songs on this cd!.


Sophmore Album From R&B superstar
The lead single U Make Me Wanna didn't really impress me much but his follow up Nice & Slow is the song where I finally gave Mr. I initially thought Usher would be another causality in the game of R&B but he came back onto the scene hard with his My Way CD. Raymond his props. Usher is the strongest at ballads which is ever evident on this CD with Nice & Slow, Bedtime, his cover of Slow Jam and the timely I Will. My Way is the album that pushed Usher to the forefront it severs as his maturity album the same way Don't Be Cruel did for Bobby Brown.
