Whether this is average or subpar probably depends on whether you're comparing this to an average R&B group or Take 6's other work. The strength and calling card of Take 6 is inventive, jazz-based harmonies. While I don't necessarily think they MUST do them acappella to produce great art, it seems that they do tend to let the arrangements get lax when they have tracks to lean on. Better tracks are ballad "I'll be There", the slinky warning on "Delilah", Earth Wind and Fire cover "Sing a Song" and "We Don't Have to Cry"built on a hook that features an unusual stop-start meter that works in its favour, and "Don't Let Go" laced with some jazzy sax courtesy of Gerald Albright. Valleys are the insipid lyric to "Jesus Makes Me Happy" (based loosely on children's standard "If You're Happy and You Know It"..) which unfortunately has some vocal fire that's wasted on it, cliched "the man upstairs is my friend" tune "Can't Stop Thinking 'Bout You", and the repetitive "Do Right" (which wasn't a good song when Paul Davis did it in 1979 either). While not bad, this is more for completist Take 6 fans. If you're looking for a starting point to their better music, you should begin with their self-titled debut. 2 1/2 stars
