"This is one of my favourite cds of all time, because of the how many good songs there are on here, almost 5 hits on one cd, classic hits like "Weak". Weak is one of those difinitive classic r and b songs that is universal and loved by almost everyone. This whole cd reminds me of the best of times in my life where I was young and life was magical, love was in full bloom. Other tracks I love are "Right Here", "Downtown", "Think your Gonna like it", "coming home", "that what I need" (i've cried over this song many times), "im so into u" just about the whole entire cd, which is rare! About the only song I don't listen to is "Blak Puddin", that song is a waste. There is a good remix of "Anything" on the remix cd of SWV. This cd is just a classic, i've brought on my roads trips to Las Vegas, jamming it in the greyhound bus watchin' the desert go by. My sister actually got to see SWV in Japan about 2 years ago. They played a small club there and my sister doesn't even like SWV, she said they were awful. She said all the Japanese people were singing along to thier hit "Weak". Maybe one day they will put out one more album. Coko is a born again christian now so I doubt it, but SWV's music still lives on."

"SWV was one of those groups in the early 90s that was guaranteed to give you a great album that was fun to listen too. Yeah, you remember when R&B was fun and soulful and not this laborious and soulless junk you hear now.

SWV not only could sing but they made some classic love jams that made R&B history.



It's About Time had plenty of great tracks like Anything, Im So Into You, Right Here, Weak and You're Always On My Mind. Me personally I never thought Downtown was a bad song. It was alright but not a terrible song that belongs an awesomely bad list countdown from the same clowns that wouldnt put any Eminem songs on that list to save their lives even though the majority of Encore belongs on that list. Like I said, Downtown is alright. Khia's My Neck My Back is awesomely bad raunchy record.



Give It To Me, Coming Home and the seductive title track are all great vintage SWV tracks. There are two songs I was never cool with: Blak Pudd'n is straight up corny and SWV (In The House) is not far behind as Coko exclaims that she can make a man's nature rise with the way she sings(lol!). The album closes out with Right Here/Human Nature Remix which beautifully samples Michael Jackson's Human Nature.



In closing SWV's Its About Time is a great album by a trio that captures everything that made 90s R&B so wonderful with this album as well as their next two releases(SWV: The Remixes and The New Beginning). Listen to it as well as other artists from the 90s and you will see the difference between R&B back then and R&B now."
