I love this album. Its one of my favorites by Usher. I'm glad I brought this CD when I did back in 1994. Anyways, I still listen to this album its in my CD player as of now. My favorite songs on the album are "I'll make it right", "the many ways", "think of you", "final goodbye", "whispers", and "smile". I love that Faith Evans did a most of the background vocals and homegirl did her thing she is such a wonderful singer and Usher and Faith collide well vocally.

Still His Most Soulful Album
Added 12/14/2006
Usher first burst onto the scene with the song Call Me A Mack from the Poetic Justice soundtrack and his debut solo appeared a year later. Usher was singing with so much soul on this CD,it was kind of a shock when he went pop on his later work. The CD featured the up-tempo hit Think Of You written by Donell Jones and the lead single I'll Make It Right which sampled Audio Two's Top Billin was very catchy and had a new jack feel to it. Usher's strongest work here is the ballads though. He enlisted Devante to produce Can U Get Wit It and Al B. Sure handed Usher one of his songs ever in the form of The Many Ways. Another very strong ballad is Whispers. Usher may not ever return to the soulfulness found on this CD as music has changed but for some classic soul check out this CD.

Usher's first album was truly a sign of things to come
Added 3/19/2006
This is one of my favorite Usher albums. Usher projects a soulful voice that marks an artist well beyond his years. This effort is proof of things to come... for anyone who can remember his "Think of You" video, he was already dancing his butt off, and for those who know "Can You Get Wit it" and " The Many Ways" the path of R&B crooner was laid. This album has great uptempos, but boasts more mid tempos and slow jams than his recent works. Though it lacked the commercial quality of his following albums, USHER is an easy listen and a must have for true Usher fans.

Usher - My Way (3.5 Stars)
Added 5/9/2008
See the biggest thing that kept this album from being something truly speacial, was its shortness. Given it only has 10 tracks, one being a remix of another track on the album, it just didnt leave you with enough matireal to really stick with you. But this album was definetly Ush's coming out party. He had a album before this one, but it went pretty much unnoticed and barely even charted. But with the help of three massive hit singles, the mid tempo dance song, "U make Me Wanna", the baby maker, "Nice & Slow", and the more danceable track and title track "My Way", he had a fan base wait for this album. Now, there are some great songs on this album. But there are also some songs that make me wonder. And when you only have a ten track album, that doesnt leave alot of room for error. One of the few good album tracks is "Bedtime" written and produced by the legend Babyface. Its another slow jam. Speaking of slow jams, "Slow Jam" with Monica, is another stellar track, but this song has more of a... well slow jam feel to it, not so much baby making feel. But where he goes wrong on this album is when he does songs like the attempted street banger "Just Like Me", where you can obviously tell that he was trying to come off as a thug on this song. And on "Comeback", you get teased really bad with the really sweet mellow piano intro, but then when the song starts up, it turns into another thug song. And then, i honestly dont under stand why he put the identical remix to "You Make Me Wanna" on this album. The only difference between the original and the remix is that the remix has a 50 second intro. Otherwise its the exact same song. But, overall this album isnt bad, it just doesnt establish Usher as more than just another R&B singer.
Grade:
B-

Usher is starting to really establish himself with this disc. You can hear all the elements coming together as he develops into the 'star' who eventurally creates 'BURN' and 'CONFESSIONS'

Not as good as I remembered it being when I was younger. Probably still the best out of all of his music.
