Destiny's Child Album: “This Is The Remix”

Usually, I like the original songs better than remixes, but I had to get this album because DC3 is one of my favorite groups. The best remixes to me are Bootylicious, No No No part 2, and Dot. My other favorite song was Heard A Word by Michelle.

1.No No No part 2--same as album-released remix, only extended music breaks. 4/5

2.Emotions--redone vocals that are not as smooth as original, new, upbeat music (Neptunes); similiar to the style of the Christmas album. 2/5

3.Bootylicious--my favorite! same remix they released f/Missy. 5/5

4.Say My Name--totally different sound and lyrics; nice soul groove; sounds good. 4/5

5.Bug A Boo--old and new lyrics incorporated; same released remix version w/Wyclef. 3/5

6.Dot--this is a remix of the other song they did for charlie's angels; i never heard the original, but this sounds good. 5/5

7.Survivor--same as released remix w/da brat; sounds like original. 4/5

8.Independent women part 2--same as the remix on the survivor album. 4/5

9.Nasty Girl--same vocals, cool new beat. 4/5

10.Jumpin Jumpin--at first it's the same as remix already released (w/Lil Bow Wow, Da Brat, JD), but at the end is a new, slower version. 3/5

11.Bills, Bills, Bills--same vocals, beat at first sounds similiar to Whitney's "It's Not Right, But It's OK remix." 3/5

12.So Good--slower than original, new mix. 3/5

Bonus: Heard a Word by Michelle--I don't really care for her voice, but this is one of the best songs on the album; it will be on her album coming in April. 4/5

I bought this CD because I love Destiny's Child but this is a tired selection of so called remixes.

This CD is totally AWESOME! My favorit remixes are Emotion, Say My Name and Bug a Boo. Michelle's song is off the hook! Here is my review for each individual song:

1) No, No, No Part 2 (Extended Version f/ Wyclef Jean)

2) Emotion (Neptunes Remix)

3) Bootylicous (Rockwilder Remix f/ Missy Elliot)

4) Say My Name (Timbaland Remix)

5) Bug a Boo (Refugee Camp Remix f/ Wyclef)

6) Dot (E-Poppi Remix)

7) Survivor (f/ Da Brat)

8) Independent Women Part 2

9) Nasty Girl (Azza's Nu Soul Remix)

10) Jumpin' Jumpin' (So So Def Extended Remix f/ Da Brat, JD and Lil' Bow Wow)

11) Bills, Bills, Bills (Maurice's Xclusive Livegig MIx)

12) So Good ( Maurice's Soul Remix)

13) Heard A Word by Michelle Williams

I hope this review was helpful!

It used to be that when artists released a new album, they released a NEW album. Now we get live albums, useless Holiday recordings, and shoddily-made remix releases. This album falls into the third category, and as far as remix albums go, the results are catastrophic. Predictible hip-hop remixes of singles we've heard a zillion times before abound, while the FEW house mixes are as flat as soda left at room temperature for hours. Listen, nobody says you can't do a remix album, but give the listeners some variety and a groove. I actually like Destiny's Child, but after "The Writing's on the Wall," their music is getting more and more vanilla. Should you feel the urge to get this CD, just say "no, no, no."
