This album definitely showed a change in image and approach from their debut. On their debut, Jodeci was simply romancing women. On this go round though, they were just trying to get them in to bed. "Feenin" is a prime example. And "Cry For You (the album's first single), in my opinion, is the best song on the album. DOAMB was one of the first albums where people were singing over rap beats, and one of the few albums that ever did it well. I am a bigger fan of K-Ci and Jojo's "All My Life", but at the time, I think Jodeci's sexually-charged material delivered in a slightly more rugged fashion was a good counter-balance to Boyz II Men, who basically said the same things at time, but in a more pop-friendly way. In other words, Jodeci talked about having sex and Boyz II Men talked about making love.
