"it is easy to compare willie max with a string of other girl groups who have broken in the past couple of years. allure, total, destiny's child. unlike allure, however, willie max has not demonstrated an ability to really wail. unlike, total, their public image in neither brash enough nor defined enough to hold public interest. and unlike destiny's child, willie max's _bona fide_ does not have a break-away hit on par with "no, no, no". what willie max does have is harmony that could only be acheived by spending large quantities of time together (in this case, having been raised together, as sister) and potential, with the proper material, to come back strong on their next release. willie max posses a strong understanding of each of their own vocal abilities, as well as those of their group mates; this is a precious commodity which, with the proper guidance, could transform them into the next pointer sisters. at this point, however, you r&b girl group dollar would be better spent on 4KaST's _any weather_."
