In this age where r&b is so souless, its good to know there are recollections and memories of good production in the genre.My mom bought "Bobby" in the fall of 1992 and we wore the cassette out in our new 1992 Toyota Tercel.
"Bobby" is the at the zenith of the "new jack swing" era led by its pioneer Babyface. With songs like 'Humpin Around' 'Good Enough' and 'Get Away', the album posseses an aura of talent backed up with musicianship that is superb.Bobby Brown struck a chord on this one personally.The songs are catchy and memorable.I highly recommend this record.

Good but lacks the funk of Don't Be Cruel

Bobby Brown's third album Bobby came out 4 years after Don't Be Cruel. But a lot can happen in 4 years. While Bobby has strong numbers in Humpin' Around (ultra funky), Get Away and the funkier That's The Way Love Is, the album lacks the pizazz of Don't Be Cruel. The writing is not as strong here and the music runs out of energy by the album's second half. Good Enough is okay, but where's the punch that Bobby once had? The strong machine of hits by Bobby had kind of fizzled by this album. It has not had the memorable shelf life as Cruel has always had. Plus this was one of the first albums where Bobby started producing and writing his songs, yet they don't grab you like LA, Babyface and Teddy Riley's. So Bobby felt 4 years behind instead of 4 years ahead with outdated new jack swing grooves.

My favorite song on this CD is definitely "Lovin' You Down", but I really can't say there was a bad song here. If you loved 90's R&B, this is a very underrated album. He'll always be remembered for "Don't Be Cruel" "Perogative" and "Every Little Step", and deservedly so, but this CD was fantastic. I wish he'd just pull himself out of whatever he's on and come back with it.

I love love love love love this CD. I still play it in heavy rotation with my much more recent music. Bobby was always my favorite New Edition memeber and I followed his music all the way from his first hit "I need a girlfriend" all the way to this CD. I think his vocals are raspy and wonderful. This material is AWESOME and Bobby delivers it all with a perfect mix of elegance and raunchyness. I don't care what anyone says about his personal life, the man is an ARTISTE'. I love him and I would love to see him do more. And my personal opinion is that the music industry black balled him for marrying Whitney Houston. No his star wasn't as big as hers................but HE IS SUPER TALENTED IN HIS OWN RIGHT, and had shown that over and over and over before they (he & Whitney) ever became an item. So to make a long story short if you want GREAT music buy this CD twice, because you will be sure to play the first one out and will need a spare BB CD.
"Humpin Around 3 and a half stars a good song but a little pop
"Two Can Play That Game" 5 Stars a rump skaker supreme
"Get Away" CLASSIC FUNK 5 and a half Stars
"Til The End of Time" 5 stars funk with a layer of smooth over it
"One More Night" 6 STARS this song twists my heart with funk & ballad and the girls harmony at the end is something the Supreme would be proud of.
The rest of the songs are all good and averge 4 stars but these songs needed a mention.
