1. 112 Intro--skip this one
2. Dance With Me--this is a cool song. easy to dance to
3. It's Over Now--I like this track a lot. The beat is hot
4. Peaches & Cream--I think I am one of the few people who is not impressed by this song.
5. I Surrender (Interlude)--nothing special about this interlude, but I do think it is a great lead in to Missing You
6. Missing You--I love this song!! I think Mike did very well. Nice slow jam.
7. All I Want Is You--don't like this song.
8. Don't Hate Me--don't like this song at all
9. Q, Mike, Slim, Daron (Interlude)--If you are available...
10. Player---Player is ok, but the message is kinda screwy
11. Sweet Love---I love this song!!! Very slow and sensual sounding. Kinda freaky, but way better than PnC
12. Smile--this song is ok, but it's clearly filler
13. Caught Up--very skippable track
14. Do What You Gotta Do--skippable
15. I Think--great track
16. Still in Love--filler track I think. Not strong enough to end the album.

All in all, pretty decent. I listen to this cd on a weekly basis. You can't go wrong here.

Grade: C+
There are only three tracks from this CD that I actually liked the first time around; they were "Dance With Me", "Peaches & Cream" and "Q, Mike, Slim, Daron". The rest had to grow on me (and it did). I will say this though: I think 'Part III' will be 112's biggest album because it includes surefire hits like "Peaches & Cream", "It's Over Now", and "Still In Love". Anyhow, here is my breakdown - track by track.

1) Intro - Tight. It makes you think this album is going to be the "ish". (5/5)

2) Dance With Me - I love this song...has a clubby feel to it. (5/5)

3) It's Over Now - I'm honestly kind of sick of it now, but it's still a great song... (5/5)

4) Peaches & Cream - I think this will be 112's biggest hit. Ever. (5/5)

5) I Surrender - Great interlude...should have been a complete song. (4/5)

6) Missing You - Here was the first track I didn't like when I first heard it, but now I like it a lot. Should be a single... (4/5)

7) All I Want Is You - Horrible... (1/5)

8) Don't Hate Me - This one is cool. It's a midtempo joint with a midwestern bounce to it, a la Crucial Conflict or Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony. (4/5)

9) Q, Mike, Slim, Daron - This interlude is BANGIN! Why is this only an interlude? Trust me, this track is tight... (5/5)

10) Player - Kinda funny. I like it anyway. (3/5)

11) Sweet Love - This ballad sounds like something from 112's first album, a la "Now That We're Done"...remember that one? (4/5)

12) Smile - Umm...the intro sounds like they're going to sing Sisqo's "Incomplete"...but once you get past that, it's a decent ballad. (3.5/5)

13) Caught Up - I like this one a lot. It sounds like something New Edition would have recorded for 'Home Again', their 1996 reunion album. Decent filler track. (4/5)

14) Do What You Gotta Do - Tight. R. Kelly hooked this one up. Easily a single. (5/5)

15) I Think - This one is good too. Possible single...pretty ballad. (4/5)

16) Still In Love - Sounds like something K-Ci and JoJo would sing doesn't it? (Just listen to it...) Oh well, it works. This will blow up (in my opinion) if it's released as a single. (5/5)

Thanks for reading!

Peaches And Cream
Bought this disc for Peaches and Cream, anticipating that would be the only solid track, but little did I know I was incorect. Took me a couple listens before I got into this disc and it was worth it. You have you up tempo tracks (dance with me) and your slow tracks (Missing you) and even some rhymes from rapper Twista. A great R&B album. If you're debating to purchase it, do it!!!! You will be satisfied.

My top 5:
Peaches and Cream
Dance with me
Missing you
Smile
Don't hate me

Not What I Expected
First lemme say that I was a huge 112 fan, but this album doesn't live up to expectations at all. The only worthy songs on this album are Dance With Me and Peaches and Cream, and to be honest, even they are repetitive and below 112's level. My advice is ditch this CD and pick up their self-titled 112 album.

1990's urban music explotion
112 have proven themselves as one of the most successful and enduring acts to emerge from the 1990s urban music explosion, and continue to prove their longevity on their third set, Part III. Their second album, Room 112, despite the hits "Love Me" and "Anywhere," failed to hint at any artistic progress for the group, but the third effort is a different story. A lot of the sappy ballads that impaired their previous outings are abandoned in favor of edgier, techno-flavored jams, resulting in a more modern and forward-sounding effort. The album's first single, "It's Over Now," is an aching slice of melodrama that proved to be the group's biggest hit to date, and one of the best singles of the year. Other cuts on the album pick up where that one left off, utilizing cutting beats and electronic sounds, such as the album's dance-flavored opener "Dance With Me," the second single "Peaches & Cream," and "All I Want Is You," which is augmented with rock guitars to fine effect. And as always, the group's vocals are nothing short of stellar. Despite some clichéd lyrics (case in point -- "Don't Hate Me") and sagging ballads toward the middle of the album (although the ballad "Missing You" is a well-crafted slice of true soul), this set is definitely a step in the right direction for a hard-working group one can happily classify as having evolved.
Since New Edition and Boyz II Men ceded their R&B group throne of the '80s and early '90s, it's been hard to keep up with the myriad groups that have tried to take their place. But Bad Boy's resident gentlemen, 112, have always stood out from the crowd. Their latest release, Part III, further solidifies the group's appeal. On "It's Over Now," the album's first single, the group does what they do best: combining impressive vocals with Bad Boy's trademark hip-hop production. Likewise, on "Dance with Me," an intricately produced song with an infectious heartbeat bass line, the group reminds listeners that their singing ability is in a league of its own. Part III is not without its shortcomings, however. Songs like "I Think" and "Player," two monotonous attempts at romantic ballads, could have been deleted from the album without being missed. To the group's credit, however, Part III is one of the most varied and truly captivating albums that the R&B world has seen in a long time. From beautiful harmonizing to upbeat party pleasers, Part III places the four members of 112 up there with the legends of their genre. --Felicia A. Wilks
