This album screams “songs your nasty uncle you could never be alone with” music. When the lyrics don’t sound old, they come across as eternally gross. The song’s opener, “Too Hot,” sounds like it was dug out of a box labeled “1998.” In fact, when you hear the line, “Pretty face like Lauryn, body like Mya ,” you’re almost certain that this song was written before Willow Smith was born. So, when it was time for me to listen to the album in full, I called up Crown Royal Apple and prayer warriors to get me through it. None of the songs the group put out prior to the album’s release- “Nobody Wins” featuring B.o.B, “Every Moment,” and “Checkin for You”-were worth more than one-and-a-half listens. The same goes for their fantastic second album, Diary of a Mad Band.Īnd yet, once I actually remembered that the group’s new album, The Past, the Present, the Future, was out, I was petrified to listen. I still listen to “Come and Talk to Me” regularly. In second grade, when a group of my friends and I all pretended to be Jodeci, I was Mr. I have obsessed over Jodeci since I was child (full disclosure: I was barely alive when their first album was released). I have waited for a new Jodeci album since I went into my sister’s box of CDs and took her copy of The Show, the After-Party, the Hotel. It’s a shame how a moment you’ve been waiting for for so long finally comes and when it does, you nearly miss it due to newfound indifference.
