"Even though they haven't been away, this is the first O'jays cd that I've purchased since they left Philly Int'l. Ok, so it is old material dressed up for today's market, but I'll take this over the drivel they've released the last few years. "Ruler of the Universe" and "Hurry Home" are classic Gamble and Huff. The Bunny Sigler tunes are also very good. The production updates by Dexter Wansel and co. don't interfere with the overall soulfulness of the tracks i.e. no rapping, scratching or guest shots. In fact the only cut I really don't care for is the title track. I read the guys went to court to stop the release of this cd, but to my ears it's all good. Hopefully, they'll hook back up with Gamble and Huff and make more beautiful music. Til then the old O'jays are back if only for one cd.

"

Top quality music, made by a top act.

"I've recommended this CD to many of my friends who know how to appreciate quality music with very soulful sounds. The famed Gamble & Huff sound takes me back to the 70s and 80s. There is not one track on this CD that doesn't make you want to either get up and dance around the room, sing out loud, or wish for the days long gone when music really made you feel good. Thank you, thank you, thank you O'Jays for collaborating with the famed Gamble & Huff team and bringing it all back. I hope that this will not be the last time that you "bring it", ole school style.
