Album Description
"A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it.

"So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it.

"I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. "I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that."

2 out of 5 stars Still Can't Understand What Your'e Saying When Singing   October 3, 2008

Janet...If you read these comments, please take the public's advice, we are the people who pay your bills, and maintain your lifestyle. If you make another album, let your man Jermaine Dupri, hook you up. You should have guest appearances of top rappers, and singers for collaborations. You should make a more R&B album like you did with Damita Jo, and 1993's album janet.

Also trying singing in a language the public can understand. A lot of people don't like your music, because we can't understand what you are singing about.

I still love you, but please change your style, bite off of Rhianna, Ciara, and Beyonce. These new school diva's took your spot. Hang it up!!!

At first I only liked a handful of songs but the more I listened the more those songs are the songs I love and I just like the rest. I am actually going to pay to go to concert (non-cheap seats too) and it is to see her and hear her old and NEW stuff. If LL Cool J opens that would really be icing on the cake.

Aw Janet, where have you gone? I hate the image Janet portrays in the last few albums she has put out. I am not sure I can say I loved any of her albums from front to back other than "Control" and my absolute fav. "Janet". I have always followed her though since day one and still consider her one my favs, but that doesn't mean I can turn a blind ear to her music. Artist who are known and do well at a certain style of music, unfortunately needs to stick with that. Janet doesn't make good slow songs, she is known for fast tempo, fun songs. "Give me a beat", anybody? This is what I love and expect from her. "Feedback" got me excited about her again and "Luv" is a great track as well, but I can handpick only a few out of this cd that I can play over and over. This happens alot with her cds, there are a few good songs and the rest of them are flat fillers. What's up with the whole dominatrix scene. It's like she is always wrestling between good and bad. I get tired of the talking intros to each song and the whispering, in bed, talk. Girl, get down, and make some rockin songs. I love her in concert and I am seeing her next month and she can put on a good show because again, that is what she does. But here again, it still seems she is struggling to find who she is because I sure as hell don't know. And don't get me started with her involvement with Dupri. I really don't think he has done her any favors. Enough said!


4 out of 5 stars Perhaps her most Underrated Effort to Date   September 12, 2008

Who has been the biggest female pop star over the past 25 years??

Someone without the glitz and glam of Madonna, without the powerful vocals of a Whitney or a Mariah, without the corporate promotions of phonies like Britney Spears....and this person is not even the biggest star in their own family!! The answer is Janet Jackson.

With "Discipline," Janet has dropped her most artistic effort in years; the album contains more deep grooves and stunningly catchy hooks than anything she has released since 1993's "Janet." There are about five exceptional songs here, the best of the bunch being "Luv" and the leading single "Feedback." THere are a few ballads, the most noteworthy being "Never Gonna Let U Go," which is classic Janet balladry in the vein of "Come Back to Me." Other grooves such as "Rock With You" and "So Much Betta" revisit past hits but put a real modern spin on them; all of the interludes can be programmed out and this makes for a very enjoyable listen, although a few songs have some jarring lyrics that are a bit too much. Janet is now 42, and she deserves one more run at the top of the charts. She just might get it if she pursues a similar direction to the deep grooves and ballads that made her best work so appealing. And despite the numerous attempts on her past records to act much younger than she is, there are indicators on "Discipline" that for the first time, she may just grow old gracefully.
