Review: Janet’s Discipline Delivers the Dance

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment, Personal, Pop Culture

Alright, I’m kinda biased to Miz Jackson. However her last album was a stinker. A few hot tracks but nothing to write home about. Well it’s 2008. Strap grandma down. It’s Janet’s latest — Discipline. Woah! It’s definately the soundtrack to the summer. Or my sex life. One of the two. Here are my favorite tracks.

• “Feedback” - The first single… hot hot hot, new sounds for Janet.
• “LUV” - Great beat, screams Pharrell.
• “Rock with U” - MY FAV!! OMG. Ohhh ohh. Strobe lights make everything sexy. Kylie Minogue eat your heart out. This will make you dance!
  
• “2nite” - Powerful, can the radio handle it? Probably not. Love the highs. Although a little cluttered, still good.
• “Greatest X” - 90′s throwback, tear factor
• “Good Morning Janet” - OK, OK it’s an interlude track but it’s techofun
• “Play Selection” - Stop it! Another interlude. Who’s she talking to??
• “The 1″ - Missy Elliot and punchy beats and layering, damn!
• “Curtains” - Soulful, slow and powerful

So bottom line. Listen to “Rock With You” and shake your butt. Janet’s back.
