I was blinded by my love for 112. This CD is weak. I am so disappointed that they ever bothered to release it. I can't even bring myself to put this CD into my player because I am so hurt by what they are doing. This is the group that came with ballads so amazing I could feel every emotion- now I have to listen to them sound like some old version of Dru Hill offering to "Knock U Down". What does that even mean? Where are they? This is not my favorite group. These are not the four men I have broken my neck three times to see in concert- no way! I love "Right Here For You", "You Said" and "Slip Away"- then "All My Love", "Say Yes" and "Man's World" get a little play too...but other than that I can make a frisbee out of that investment. My name comes from the third single of their debut album and I'm tempted to change it now! This is not 112 material and I hope they play it over and over then play the debut and recognize the VAST change that has taken place. Don't get this CD- it hurts me to say this.

Geez 112 used to be my favourite rnb group. They were the ones who brought me into liking rnb. But since Part III they have been going down. Now they left badboy it's even worse. What happened? All the beats in this album is wacked, not much originality, and mostly, they aren't being themselves. I think that they are trying to become too commercial. THis is crap don't even think of getting it.

Hey!

What's up! Ok, lemme talk about this CD, when I first heard a preview of 'Na Na Na Na' I must say, I was feeling a little anxious, I mean, I didn't particularly like the first single off the CD, the reggae beat was something but I felt it probably would've been better with perhaps, Sean Paul. And that's probably more an opinion than anything else. If you were like me, loved watching 112 grow from the easy-listening that was "112", to "Room 112" to the hottest album I thought, "Part III". This album definitely falls off. Maybe a mixture of there much spoken about troubles with labels, criticism which is mentioned on the track "Everyday". Part III had the hits, I mean "Dance With Me" was like undisputed, "Peaches N' Cream" was relentless, "It's Over Now" despite, the fact that track has been sampled to death, they brought the romance, that including joints like 'Caught up', 'Still In Love', 'Smile', 'I think' but anyways, you get my point.
So this CD does have it's tracks, personally, I was feeling 'Hot & Wet' that including the remix with Chingy & Ludacris, still tripping off of that appearance he made in Diddy's remixed version of 'Peaches N' Cream/Dance with Me' that fell on the 'We invented the remix' album, 'Unbelievable' was kewl, really felt 'Right Here For U', the raunchy 'Give it to me', 'Knock U Down' was alright, and I guess, you could throw in 'Man's World' (If I had to)

All in all, disappointed with it, personally it wouldn't be my favourite twelve album but I copped that because I'm true to them. Hopefully, they can pick themselves up once more... Back at it, I didn't know if moving to Def Soul was the right idea. Don't you think they've put on a bit of weight to? Especially Slim, thought I'd just say it anyways. I can't wait for the next one though. Still the illest group beating Jagged Edge by a mile.

No need to cry, 112 can still satisfy. If, like me, you tried to form an idea about this cd based on the lead single, I assure you 112 still can deliver that sound reminiscent of the sophomore LP released 5 years ago. There is no denying that the debut was untouchable and "Part III" was beyond amazing, but the group has delivered a signature sound that only they could pull off amidst the recent "music" invading the airwaves.

This 4th effort offers a variety for all R&B listeners. If you prefer soulful ballads sung with profound emotions of love (or lost love) then you MUST hear "Right Here For You", "You Said" and "Slip Away". Together these three songs carry the album so well that they make the other tracks sound even better. Then there's "All My Love", which is perfect for the lovers trying to get in the mood. "Say Yes" is persuasion at its best to get the one you desire take a chance on romance. On another note, "Everyday" was the group's chance to speak out and let the haters know how it's really going down behind the scenes in their lives. The closing song recalls James Brown's explanation of gender roles and tells us it's "A Man's World" even in 2003. Just like the Godfather's masterpiece, this original song is powerful and deserving of attention.

If you're into the bass thumping, ass shaking club sound, you haven't been left behind. Being the 112 fan I am, I will keep it real. "Na Na Na Na" and "Unbelievable" just don't do it for me. However, "Hot and Wet" remix, "It's Goin' Down 2Nite" and "Give it to Me" are fun (of course, except a line in #3 "Hey yo, shake that thang just like it's Jell-O" but this is what people like to hear). I would not have made "Hot and Wet" a single, but if it were up to me, people would appreciate them for the talented R&B singers they have been since 1996- wishful thinking.

Overall, it's not quite the same as past efforts, but I am still happy with my purchase. I was worried having heard those two singles followed by quite a lackluster performance in Atlanta last month. Yes, I thought I lost them. I was wrong! They're still here and they're still making hits like no one else can.

This album is better than you think at first. It is made to please everybody which is why it hasn't got 5stars from die hard fans.

The 1st thing that stops it getting 5stars is the track listing order. The songs are all good but the order changes the album pace too much for you to appreciate some songs depending on your mood (if u make your own playlist for this album it becomes amazing).

One Twelve has also now got a problem in trying to please everyone. They are easily the best group at making up tempo R&B songs. There is absolutely no contest in that area since "Only You with Notorious B.I.G. (& Mase)". They know how to sing over rap beats. That is the ingredient that has made them popular over the years and has got them into the charts and into many club DJ's playlists. This is the format that has brought 112 to people.
For this reason they have to have fast club bangin songs. "Hot & Wet (feat. Ludacris)", "Na Na Na Na (feat. SuperCat) (& remix)" & "Unbelievable" cater for that. "It's Goin Down 2Nite" & "Give It To Me" are also good but not big club bangers.

Obviously they need the ballads (Cupid, Someone To Hold, Missing You are perfect from the 3 previous albums). You Said, Slip Away and Right Here For U are in that mould. But then 112 have got more excellent ballads in All My Love, Say Yes and Knock U Down. Man's World is pure soul. And Everyday is a brilliant song telling a story from a bit of the groups life. The ballads sink into your head slowly, one by one. You'll find youself singing them in ur head without knowing - seriously. Fans of the ballads must realise though that 112 needs fast and slow songs because this is what sets 112 apart from any other group and makes them the best.

Writing this makes me wanna give the album 5stars because all the songs are good. Nobody can say anything bad about a song - taste & mood just define what you prefer more. Hot & Wet is one of their best uptempo songs ever (i have to say it is probably better than Peaches & Cream???). You Said and Everyday strike me as pure quality. Slip Away & Right Here For U are class as well. Everyone I know loves All My Love.

However we expect too much from 112. You can't write Only You, Cupid or Anywhere twice. You can't get better than that (or even the same). I'm happy with them producing good songs with lots of possible hits. Of course though I want more songs like those 3 because those songs are what music should be.
