I don't see why this cd didn't sell that well. Believe it or not, this is DC's best cd (vocally at least). There harmonies are tight and the music was excellent. I guess people saw these young girls sounding at little to grown for their own good and dimissed this album for some bubble gum pop that they were expecting from DC back in '98. Honestly, if this was released now, it would be #1. Anyway, the best song on the cd would have to be the opener, Second Nature, because it's so good. No No No Part 2 is aight, I just listenin to the music, the singing was a little off besides the chorus. With Me Part 1 was by far much better that Part 2. Illusion is my second favorite song on the album. It's really the only club banger beside No No No Part 2 and With Me Part 1. If your looking for the best singing from the original DC, this is for you. If you expect something more like Survivor, stay away.

Yeah, this is the album when destiny's child were like "sisters" until their lil' incident in early 2000. Enough about them. This CD is enhanced which is also called a CD extra. Just pop it into your CD-ROM and see what happens. The songs starts off with a lovely ballad called "Second Nature". Next the hit & 2nd single called "No, No, No-Part 2" f/Wyclef Jean. This song was hot! The 3rd song was the 3rd single called "With Me-Part 1". The tack is called "Tell Me", it's such a beautiful song. You'll love the way how destiny's child blend in their voices. "Bridges" is like a jazz/club song, most likely you'll just listen to the beat. "No, No, No-Part 1", is the original version of the remix, I wasn't really feeling it. "With Me-Part 2 is hot! Basically cause Master P hooked it up with his rap & beat. "Show Me The Way", the intro is too dang long! I like the song though. "Killing Time" is also featured on the "Men In Black" soundtrack. Yes, Wyclef makes another appearance, on track #10 called "Illusion". LeToya sings the first verse. I'm not really feeling the last 3 tracks, they're "Birthday", "Sail On", & "My Time Has Come". Overall, I gave this album a 4 because there wasn't enough uptempo beats. But destiny's child improved on their 2nd album, "The Writings On The Wall".

This debut could have been excellent if they just ditched the filler and karaoke-like covers. Most of the original songs are excellent, such as Second Nature, With Me I, No No No I & II, and especially Bridges. To put it simply, if the original songs were consolidated as an EP, excluding With Me II, this album would be close to perfection.

Hey people! a Big what up to everyone reading this. Well this is my opinion. I used to love Destiney's Child. I have both CD's and they were my favorite group. I was so mad when they broke up. I think they needed to work out there problems and start being the bomb group they used to be. But since they're probably not going to, I think the two girls that left should either go solo or start their own group cause it was just wrong that those two got to keep 'Destiney's Child' just cause their parent's owned them. They could at least come up with a new name cause they just aren't Destiney's Child anymore. And I bet they broke up just because Beyonce (or however you spell her name) always takes all the solos. I mean this is Destiney's Child not Beyonce's group my sista! Come on! Well anyways that's my opinion. Thankyou.

Debut album from Destiny's Child contains members, Beyonce Knowles, LaTavia Roberson, LeToya Luckett, and Kelly Rowland (Cousin of Beyonce). It's produced by Wyclef Jean and Jermaine Dupri among others. This album is perhaps a little more soulish then upcoming albums, but at the same time it was released before Destiny's Child had found their true sound. It's also lacking hit singles. Infact there are only 2 hitsingles from this album "No No No Part 2" which is a remix of the more slower first part, now feauturing producer Wyclef Jean as a rapper. It's one of their best songs. And then "With Me Part 1" a midmepo quite simular to latter material actually. These were the only hitsingles, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the album is bogus. Destiny's Child are showing promise at first glimpse, "Second Nature" is a great ballad and love-midtempo "Show Me The Way" aswell as "Illusion" which is a remake of the 80's song "Just An Illusion" from Imagination and "Sail On" a Commodores cover. There are too many ballads for many taste though, later we would find out that Destiny's Child were better suited for faster uptempo songs with female attitute then ballads. This album shows promise which would give result when their sophmore album would come out in 1999 but it suffers a little from few hitsingles and not having the "identity" yet, however it's a good way of discover a up an coming band that later would get superstatus. Good not Great Debut, 3'5 stars.
