Description: Kelis has always been game to subvert expectations. "Caught Out There," from her 1999 debut,
Kaleidoscope, had her storming the airwaves with a chant of "I hate you so much right now!" After a sophomore disc that didn't see release in America, she returns with "Milkshake," a schoolyard taunt for grownup girls. The minimalist Neptunes production was an obvious first single from
Tasty, but the CD hardly stops there. From collaborations with Andre 3000 ("Millionaire," a showcase for the OutKast frontman's falsetto) and Nas (the randy "In Public") and a rap-rock exercise ("Keep It Down") to irresistible updates of early-'80s R&B ("Protect My Heart," "Glow"), the disc offers plenty in the way of potential follow-ups. While less playful than some of her past work,
Tasty brings a raised eyebrow and good humor to the 21st century sex-u-up template.

Good beats. Good vibe. This album is simple in a minimalistic way yet sophisticated in its combination of compelling musical and seductive lyrical elements. It's really a shame that artists feel the need to 'clean up' their albums. Get the explicit version. This is an album that's urban, sophisticated, and a great one-on-one party album for anyone 18 or older. Should children be listening to it? I agree with the earlier reviewer - let the parents decide.
I luv i listen to it almost every day!!!!!!!!!!
Kelis is unique she has her own style and she has talent just listen to some of her previouse albums Wanderland,Kaleidoscope and youll understand her story.

One word....Boring
I really dont understand some of the reviews. There is only one song on this album that is worth listening to. I'm not even going to say which it is because its obvious. Overall, this is just plain bad.

The cd is good. Every song is great. The best cd of this year. For that person who said it sucks they are basing the cd on ONE song. She has 14 GREAT songs on here. They must be a sucky DJ in Seattle. Get the Album its GREAT.
What Happened?
I downloaded Kelis's first album just to see if i'd like it, and i did. So i went out and bought it. Later i downloaded the second album, Wanderland, loved it so i bought that one too.
So, with this reputation I just assumed Tasty would be a banger as well, especially after hearing and liking Milkshake. I went and bought it without hearing it first.
It turns out Milkshake is like the only song on the whole album that i like. I don't know what happened with Kelis, but if you are going off of how her earlier CDs sounded then you might be as disappointed as me.
I learned my lesson, from now on I'm downloading albums for free before i buy them.
Hey, at least I got the hot pics of Kelis in Tasty, but they aren't worth $15.

This album really surpassed my expectations and the majority of the songs are far better than "Milkshake"! Savvy production, awesome lyrics and creative concepts make this album a quality realese from this at times misunderstood artist. Whether you are into Dance-Pop, Urban, Alternative Rap, Hardcore Rap, Hip-Hop, & a touch of Rock, this album is most likely for you as it combines all these styles successfully! Keep them coming, Kelis!
