Summary: Overall....Okay...
Comment: Not all of the songs on this album are fantastic. But it is rare to get a disc where that happens. The singles are by far the best of the songs. If you are a huge Jackson fan, it might be worth it to but the whole album, but if you're not, pick and choose and save yourself some money.

Summary: Janet Could Use a Little More Discipline
Comment: Janet,
I do LUV U and there is a lot I like about this album, but listen to me. I'm your friend and your friends should always be honest. I'm here to give you a little discipline.
1. Axe the interludes. They are interesting for the first listen or two, but they are essentially filler. There is a reason why people throw away the packing foam peanuts after they get a present -- they want the actual object in the box, not the non-biodegradable stuffin's.
2. Get your head out of your va-jay-jay. It worked for "janet" and it's been downhill from there. There is more to the world than getting laid. The bondage look and title track aren't extreme enough to appeal to real S&M afficianados and I'm not sure they would be of interest to the vast swath of America. I don't think people were really buying it during "The Velvet Rope" and I sure as heck don't think they are buying it now.
3. Not unlike "Damita Jo", "The Velvet Rope", "20 Y.O." and "All for You", this album has many pop/dance/r&b pleasures. What it shares with all of those albums is an unwieldy length and a lot of chaff with the wheat. Hip-hop is not your strong suit, girl.
4. To prove that I'm generous, I'm going to tell you that I love me some "LUV", "Feedback", "Rock With U", "So Much Betta" and "The Greatest Ex". Keep that good stuff coming!
5. I was nervous about you leaving the Jam-Lewis collaboration -- the results aren't bad, just not as exciting as they could be. How about you step out of the same ol'/same 'ol R&B producer mix and get with some real pop/dance producers. Clearly you are in a rut on the last several albums and the formula essentially seems to get re-shuffled. Don't make me spank you.
In summation, Janet, I do LUV U and that's why I care. If anyone can turn this ship around, it's you. I'm not looking for you to repeat your "Control", "Rhythm Nation" and "Janet" heyday. Embrace your pop diva roots (note that your last huge hit was "All For You" which was essentially a dance club/disco jam) and ditch the sexed-up, hip-hoppy R&B that has been bogging you down. Get a little fun on us!

Summary: Discipline is the best of 2008 albums
Comment: Discipline is Janet's best work since The Velvet Rope, it will make you dance, think, and if you are in love, it will make you think about your lover. This album is better than E=MC2 and Hard Candy. All Music Guide rated Discipline higher than both E=MC2 and Hard Candy. Discipline really is a good album. I keep it on repeat. Rock with u is one of my favorites on long with "Luv", I would like to thank Janet for this album.

Summary: Better but too long
Comment: Being a big JJ fan I bought this after a newspaper review that this was closer to her earlier albums. And it is. It starts strong, great vocals, great dance music. I was entertained and happy to have Janet back. BUT, then it goes on and on and on and becomes more like Damita Jo. That's disappointing. Stop this record at 10 to 14 cuts and it's a good album. Longer, and it's Damita Jo II.
Overall a much better effort and I hope Janet picks her spots more selectively. I would also say the first review on the page by Rudy Palma eloquently and in detail nails this album. My compliments. You should be a music reviewer.

Summary: L.U.V This Album
Comment: I Can't be bothered 2 give you guys a essay on this Album, so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I Just heard Madonna's new Album, and i'm sad to say it sucks, so I went back and listened to this Album, and I realised how good it was. It's got a bunch of great uptempo tracks and some good ballads too.
My FAVES R:
FFEEDBACK
2NITE
L.U.V.
GREATEST X
NEVER LECHUGO
ROLLERCOASTER is a good old scool R'n'B Type track. Overall I don't skip any tracks on this album. It's all good. I also like, THE 1 ( FEATURING MISSY ELLIOT ) and WHAT'S UR NAME. This album is the perfect pickmeup. Energetic and fun. GOOD JOB JANET. Better than 20.Y.O ( Which was also a Good album ) :) 1 of my fave albums so far this year along with M.C's E=MC2.

"A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it. "So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it. "I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. "I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that." "Deluxe Edition includes the same CD as the regular edition, plus a DVD."
