Summary: Oh no......
Comment: This one will be at CD Warehouse too, I love Janet and I thought I would love this one, but I couldn't even make it all the way through, I tried skipping through it but they all seemed to start off with the same beat. Maybe it's just not riding music, so I'll try it as clean-up music before I sell it.

Summary: "Design of A Decade 1986/1996"-10 Years of Classic Music
Comment: By 1996, Janet Jackson was pretty much a pop superstar with 3 classic albums already under her belt. She had countless hit and gained a vast assembly of fans worldwide. When it came to releasing a greatest hits album is was pretty much a no brainer! "Design of Decade" features all the singles from "Control" and "Rhytm Nation 1814" including the massive hit "That's The Way Love Goes" from the "janet." The album includes 2 new tracks which are both wonderful and one becoming Janet's 17th gold single in the form of "Runaway." All of Janet's hits sound fresher than they did when they were first released and some have been re-vamped a little to sound better ("Alright" and "Black Cat", for example!) The album can be summed up like this:
Runaway-An upbeat exotic song about Janet visiting her friends from countries all over the world. Janet's vocals are sweet and sincere with good lyrics make this another great addition to Janet's collection of hits.-5/5 stars
What Have You Done For Me Lately
Nasty
When I Think of You
Escapade
Miss You Much
Love Will Never Do (Without You)
Alright
Control
The Pleasure Principle
Black Cat
Rhythm Nation
That's The Way Love Goes
Come Back To Me
Let's Wait Awhile
Twenty Foreplay-A beautiful track that starts a very sensual ballad before becoming a mid-tempo r&b groove. Solid lyrics and Janet's signature sexy vocals make this a keeper.-5/5 stars
The only downside is that they album could have included more hits fromthe "janet." album like "If", "Again" and "Any time, Any place". But "Design of A Decade" is a great collection of the first half of Janet's career and is essential to any Janet's fan's collection.

Summary: Go On Miss Janet!!
Comment: I have liked janet since i was a little girl and i was born in 1981 so thats a long time. I liked her greatest hits cd because it shows you how she was earlier and then how she is now. You can hear the changes in her voice and know that each album will be better!!

Summary: Good, but feels kind of incomplete
Comment: I recently got around to finally updating my cd collection, by ordering a few CD's from some artists I use to listen to - on cassette, in the 80's and early 90's (when I was a little boy and in my pre-teens)...you know, back when pop music was still good, bearable, and even a little bit meaningful...? Since I obviously couldn't afford to order a whole boatload of cd's, I got the greatest hits versions from some that used to be my favorites from the time - Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Madonna, George Michael, Billy Joel, Hall & Oates.
When I popped in this cd (Design of a Decade 1986/1996), it was good to hear Janet Jackson's smooth, beatufiful, soothing voice again, because I'll admit, it had been a very long time since I've listened to anything at all from her. The thing that kind of pissed me off though, and that I really just don't understand is why in the bloody hell did she or whoever put this one together decide to include only ONE song from her "Janet" CD? That and I personally think that the one song, "That's The Way Love Goes" they did include is by far the lesser of the hits she had come off of that CD. My personal all-time favorite song by Janet Jackson is "Again", anybody who has ever heard that song knows it is just simply f'n breathtaking! "Where Are You Now" is another really good song that came off that CD. But yet they're both somehow missing from this CD. I just don't get why she or they would've left those off.
Aside from that, it's an excellent CD, but I simply cannot overlook my personal favorite song by her being flat-out missing from it! If anybody knows of any other Janet Jackson - !!COMPLETE!! Greatest Hits (or anything along those lines) types of CD's, by all means please hit me up, and let me know what it's called and where I can find it - [...]. Thank you.

Summary: Pure Janet Perfection
Comment: This stellar collection of Janet's earliest hits is jam packed from start to finish. Having "That's The Way Love Goes" included was an added bonus!!

Editorial Reviews:

This decade-spanning compilation charts the singer-dancer-actress's transformation from rebellious teenager to sexy diva, along the way check-listing major hits like "Nasty," "Miss You Much," "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" and "Rhythm Nation." Two new tracks bookend the set, but even the older material--most of it helmed by writer-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis--holds up remarkably well. --Courtney Kemp
