This is a brilliant R&B album. Every track sounds nice - great production, great vocals from Usher and great guest features. My personal favourite track on the album is the lively "Pop Ya Collar", but it is closely rivalled by the rock-influenced "I Can't Let U Go" and the "If I Want To", with its conversational chorus. The slow jams are really soothing. "U Got It Bad", "Can U Help Me", and "Separated" sound nice. Even the interlude, "Without U" sounds really nice and I wish it was longer. The "Intro-lude", featuring a spoken intro by Usher is also good, with the very beautiful piano playing in the background. "U Remind Me", "I Don't Know", "Twork It Out", "U Don't Have To Call", "How Do I Say", "Hottest Thing", "Good Ol' Ghetto", "U-Turn" and "T.T.P." are nice mid-tempo tracks. "How Do I Say", "I Don't Know" and "U-Turn" are standouts for me. There is very little I can fault in this album. Five stars.

Usher's Best
This album was Usher's second I believe and it did not suffer the Sophmore Jinx. Why? Because it is a Masterpiece! I am a 47 year old woman and I love this guy. There are very few young artist out there who seem to have taken charge of their of their destiny like Usher.. he actually can sing which doesn't seem to be a requirement these days to sell albums. He can act. I first caught him acting on my grandmother's soap the Bold and the Beautiful, who at the age of 100 became a fan of Usher. I saw him in a few movies and Soul Food since. This album 8701 has everything on it. It is better then Confessions..which is still a good Cd. 8701 always puts me in a good mood. I have one problem, which brings me to Amazon. Someone took my Cd and I have to buy another one...no it wasn't my grandmother. One can see how good this cd is because even if bought used it still demands a 10.00 price tag. Pretty good for a CD that is a few years old. I know Usher has legions of fans. But people should not dismiss this man as just another young R&B artist. Someone in the NY Daily News called him a rapper, clearly not correct. This young man is a renaissance man in the vain of Sting. Who does just about everything. But Usher has one up even on Sting.. he can dance. I have been listening and collecting music for years and this album reminds me of a Main Ingredient Album something that is old but you still listen to all of the time.
