A milestone in vocal arrangements, I guess. This isn't my thing. But I seem to remember how different Destiny's Child was back in the day. We weren't ready for that jelly. But seriously, it kind of peters out as it goes along. They tried a little too hard to follow their survivor "concept".

Mango Pickle Down River is probably my favorite track from the album.

I first heard Pardon Me on the radio in high school and was immediately interested in hearing more of this band. I soon bought this and their earlier albums at the local CD shop (when those were a thing). I had a ton of stuff going on in my life at the time and music just amplified it all. This was one of the albums I listened to a lot through it all so listening to it now just sucks me back into those days. That's why it's five stars for me.
Aside from personal reasons, I think it's a solid album and one of their best.

I'm 161 days into this and, so far, I keep coming back to the same conclusion. A list of 1,001 albums is too long to be a quality list. We end up with a lot of duds, like this one. There are much better albums out there, but the almighty listmaker didn't want to include multiples from bands that are popular, I assume because they're afraid of being seen as cliché.
Somebody needs to whittle this list down to a solid 500.
