I Luv This Group...But.........2007-02-21

SWV is one of my favorite groups but this album wasn't as good as the first two efforts. Some of the features could've been better. The best cuts on the album are "Someone", "Lose My Cool", "Here For You", and of course "Rain". The last track with Snoop Dogg was pointless and the album should've been longer but this group is truly missed and hopefully they're really coming back out and making great music.

SWV's Sexiest LP.......2006-07-25

The last LP that groups put out is usually sub-par, but not this one. Man, half of the songs are built for having one-on-one time with a special someone, and I'm not mad at that. All the girls lead off, and they hold their own quite well.

The Hardest Working Trio In Show Business.......2005-05-15

I remember this album when I was in the 5th grade. I played this album like crazy. The album is chock full of the best of today's most slamming grooves,done-SWV style. This album gibes what SWV fans wanted and more. The song,Can We, is the foray into marrying SWV's renowned sound with 1997's hip-hop sound. SWV has released their sexually tension on this album. They also continued a steady pattern with this album. This album has been certified Gold. Remember,this was 1997-1998.

Liked the collaborations with rappers on this one! .......2004-10-30

I thought that Release Some Tension was very well done. It has more of a hip-hop feel and set the tone for the current collaboration trend of R&B singers and rappers. Someone has that jumper-cable type feel and Puffy gave them a good beat and sound for them. Puffy's lyrics are a little silly, but they complement the song (Plush Oriental rugs and platinum plaques/ Come On?!--lame)The ones with Redman, Missy Elliott (Can We), Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg and others are so funky and SWV sound very good all throughout. They remember to include their smooth ballads, especially the reflective Rain and the other few in the second half. Release does move very fast in its pace, but is better than their '96 album where they tried to change too much. This album, they have a lot more fun with the street edge of the songs.

HITS AND MISSES WITH THIS ONE.....................2004-09-14

Overall this is an okay album.There are some nice R&B/Hip Hop flavored jams on here plus a little bit of plain R&B.But not quite enough.these girls have nice vocal abilties but on this album they are overshadowed by all of these rappers.They never have the chance to focus on their singin or classic R&b jams like "Rain".The other okay songs are "Someone" hot jam."Love Like This" and a few others.Maybe if they could have made it alittle while longer without fighting SWV would still be around and putting out albums this day.If they were gonna go out shoulda went out with a BANG!!!!!
Hopefully they can reconcile their difference and create some of that good ol music for us(One day hopefull)....
