The R&B N2U makes is sophisticated and assured, as if they worked through their bad-boy phase and made at least a couple albums prior to Issues. But this is their debut, and no member has even hit his late twenties. Their extended team of songwriters and producers can be credited, in part, with this contradiction. Chris Stokes, the engineer and apparent name-giver behind Immature/IMx and B2K, put the group together with the intent of filling a gap on radio -- quite possibly the void left whenever K-Ci & JoJo aren't active. Like their elders, N2U make a lot of theatrical ballads, though the subject matter tips more heavily toward seduction than devotion; "Breakin' the Law," with its painful driving metaphors ("You're body's making moving violations," "Careful 'round those curves," etc.), is one example, not likely to be any high school's prom theme. The second time out, the group will hopefully show some more distinct qualities. Until then, at least four songs from Issues are worthy of being staples on courtship mixtapes. ~ Andy Kellman

More credit is deserved I hated that this cd didnt get the credit it deserved. The singers are great! I was a fan of one of them when he was solo so the fact that he was able to lend his talent to a group was awesome. But this CD is crazy everyone needs to hear "NO" that song is something serious.

Diserve's more attention Good album for a unkown rnb group these brothas know what real rnb music is SHamefule that they not have succes with this album and even the singles , does people not recenise how goed this album is???? Or does'nt they want to know something about this group or theire music and see's them as another rnb group that is trying to breaktrouch? But well in don't really care i was just wondering. This album is realy good no club songs but just mid-ups and ballads these brothas got talent My favourite songs are Ain't that bad, Pilow Talk, I promise you, ANd baby mama love but i like al of the songs so it does'nt matter.
