This album sold like crazy because of the new sound. They had their 1 hit everyone knew, "Joints and Jam" from the "Bullworth" movie. They didn't make the song for the movie, one of the directors chose it.
This was their sophomore album ... and it kinda sucked. No big deal ... regroup and try again, right?

and everyone's 1st reaction ... what the f*ck is with the chick? 2003 was the peak of the female pop parade. You had an experienced Britney Spears about to drop her "In The Zone" album. Christina Aguilera was making headlines with her new "dirty" look and was the highest selling cover girl in Maxim's history. Jessica Simpson was a budding MTV star with her new reality show. Kelly Clarkson just won the American Idol phenomenon.
... and now BEP has a new girl. Okay ... well ... it's all about the music. Let's see what she has. Wait a second ... she's only on a few of these tracks. Seems like she was tossed in there at the last second.
don't make me go on

At least that slut christina can sing. And at least Kelly Clarkson can too.
