Selfishly I'll do another from my All Time Top Ten... well Top FIVE as it goes...


oh go on then - TOP THREE :rusty2:
 
Another 10/10 from me...MAYBE

Actually I'll go for 9...it's not as good as "Ray of Light"
 
As the years have gone on I don't think there's actually a BAD SONG ON IT

not bad for such an EPIC

Could do without some of the interludes though... I always skip em... well except for the Busta one, that's ACE
 
This was the first album I ever bought.

And possibly the best.
 
The years haven't been kind to this one. And T-Boz's voice really only lends itself to listening in small doses. Kick off the crappy Prince cover and a few of the later tracks and things improve CONSIDERABLY.
 
I'd just really started buying albums regularly at this point, and I got this early when Creep had just been released the first time around and was always on The Box. Before this I had my albums by my regular favourites but mainly my pocket money purchases were compilations.

CSC was so good, I assumed ALL albums were generally this strong, as I'd never taken a chance on anything and come up with a bad one before.
 
Well no, it isn't as good as the original but I like the different take on it...
 
Arguably the best take on a Prince song EVER

Well there aren't that many good ones to choose from to be fair

Well obviously I prefer Mimi's "Beautiful Ones" but I know I'm almost alone on THAT one
 
The hidden gem for me is Switch

No one ever talks about it but it's just so bouncy
 
Switch is FANTASTIC - great use of the sample. And I always go on about Kick Your Game being a more obvious single than Diggin On You.

Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes is the best thing Andre 3000 has ever done too.

Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes is the best thing ANYONE involved with it has ever done. It's tremendous.

I love Fanmail too, I used to prefer it, but I think CSC is the better album now

That said, Fanmail has some great stuff - If They Knew came up on my iPod the other day and I realised I really liked it, it's so grimy and minimalistic
 
I prefer Fanmail to this in terms of TLC albums, probably has something to do that it was my first TLC album. But this sags a bit and well I only remember a bunch of songs.
 
this one is far too low in our poll. Prolific albums always seem to suffer
 
can you believe i've never had this on my ipod? it was one of the defining albums of my early teens too
mistake recitfied, i'm giving it a whirl and boy do i still love it

case of the fake people, if i was your girlfriend and something wicked... have always been my big underdog favourites on the album

amazing
 
I have given this a long overdue spin tonight and it’s reminded me just how wonderful it is. Granted, I could do without the interludes, but it’s all killer otherwise.

I’m still annoyed they only picked four singles off it, in an era when they could have done so, so many more.
 
Baby-baby-baby is probably my favourite TLC song, and for some reason it's totally forgotten and/or underrated.
 
I kind of can’t believe they didn’t realise Kick Your Game, Somethin Wicked... or even Switch/Case Of The Fake People as singles - it would have been totally normal to milk the album at the time too.

TLC are a band that i think would have definitely benefitted realising more singles through their career - their hits were BIG, but they could have done with having A FEW MORE OF THEM.
 
Chatting about them briefly the other day and the 20-somethings at work only knew No Scrubs and had never heard of anything from CrazySexyCool. I despair.
 
Still amazing. Yes it's of its time but that doesn't mean it hasn't aged well (I know that doesn't make sense...)

9/10 for sure. Fan Mail on the other hand is patchy af.
