I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of Xscape, but their debut album was good, and "Feels So Good", this album's first single, really caught my attention. My brother and I went into a music store one day and we heard this album playing, and all we heard was one other song and that was enough for us to buy the album...which isn't always a wise decision. But it certainly was in THIS case. There weren't many female groups around back in '95, so Xscape didn't have much competition (if any). In the long run it didn't matter, because this is one album that true R&B fans shouldn't be without. Jermaine Dupri spun out great production in jazzy tracks like "What Can I Do" and "Love's A Funny Thing". "Feels So Good" is something everyone can enjoy even though it's technically geared toward the ladies, but then there's the playful "Can't Hang" that has them challenging the men...and it turns out we're up to that challenge (I am, anyway). For those listeners looking for ballads like "Understanding" on here, you're in luck. My personal favorite, "Do You Want To", is a great straight-to-the-point song about making love, while they do a remarkable job on The Jones Girls' "Who Can I Run To". And I hope you didn't forget about "Work Me Slow". That's right up there with any Silk song for baby-making music. I'm not sure if the last track, "Keep It On The Real", is a song on an outro, because it sounds like a lengthened version of the intro, "Do Your Thang". Also, those weird notes Tiny tries to hit (especially in "Do You Want To") are a little irritating. But that doesn't ruin the song, and it definitely doesn't ruin the album. The verdict is in: Off the Hook is indeed off the hook.
