Boyz II Men is my favorite boy band and this is a greatest hits collection that collected all the hits. For as successful and talented as the group was in their prime, finding enough cuts to fill an album is not the problem. Therefore, the only thing that could fault the album is its track sequencing. It's almost perfect. The only change I would make, and this is just my opinion, is that its opening cut, "Motown Philly", is a little upbeat for the ballads that they were most known for. And for that reason, I would've put it a little later in the CD. Because their first two mega-blockbuster albums came out before and right as I was being introduced to popular music, I never owned the original LPs. However, because of the group's tremendous success, I was still very aware of their music. Therefore, this album not only finished the group's contract with Universal, but also put all the hits from one of the most popular groups of the 90s in one place for me to enjoy.
