Thoughts

This is pretty good and has some stand out classics on there - I LOVE Always on Time, that’s been a favourite song for a long time now. And J-Lo pops up too. I could do without the skits, of course, although the opening one is very atmospheric, dramatic, almost like setting the scene for a musical. It’s a good album, will stand the test of time.

Rating: 3 / 5
