Editorial Review:

Amazon.com's Best of 2001Anyone who's purchased one of Mary J. Blige's albums understands that the 'queen of hip-hop soul' would much rather push artistic envelopes than lick 'em. With No More Drama, her enlisting of hip-hop's finest beat-makers to create lush musical soundscapes is nothing short of genius. On the Dr. Dre-produced 'Family Affair,' Blige implores the club set to 'get crunk 'cause Mary's back' as she introduces some new slang to the hip-hop vernacular ('holleration'). 'Steal Away' is a classic Neptunes-induced head-nodder in the 'Love Is All We Need' vein, as Pharrell Williams chimes in a Curtis Mayfield-like falsetto. Those who like their R&B straight might be offended by the acoustic guitar solo by Lenny Kravitz on 'PMS,' or the album's title track, which samples the theme from The Young and the Restless soap opera. But listen to 'Where I've Been' (a redemptive tale of Blige's not-so-rapid ascent from the 'hood, featuring guest raps from Eve) and the Missy Elliott-assisted 'Never Been,' and misgivings vanish. Whereas past Mary J. efforts were limited to tales of relationships gone awry, her outlook is more diverse and upbeat, while her scratchy, bluesy vocals have become more expansive, too. She raps on 'Love,' scats on 'Beautiful Day,' chats on the a cappella 'Forever No More,' and caps No More Drama with a string of uplifting ballads ('2 U,' 'In the Meantime'), neatly polishing off a release that will stand as one of the best of 2001. --Dalton Higgins

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mary J. Blige
This is a great album! It's like Mary's "My Life" album where you can relate to the songs.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ..beautiful!
I hadn't listened to this CD for a while for some reason. Boy was I missing out! This is one of, if not my absolute, favorite Mary J. albums. It is truly beatiful. Her vocals on here are wonderful, the production is great. Every single song is great!

I actually like the original version a little bit better. I would recommend finding the original and buying it along with this one. This re-release is still great and the new songs keep the quality and integrity of the album. (That is very rare with re-issues.)

I definitely recommend this, along with the original if you can find it. This is one of my all time favorite albums.
