((Sigh))

Not the TRUE Tempts, but that's neither here nor there...





There is no doubt that these guys CAN SING, but my MAJOR gripe is whomever WRITES for them needs to REMEMBER that these men are MATURE in age and NOT 20-something!!! The cd is ok, but when I hear them sing a lyric that they are too old to be singing, I cannot take them seriously. I do like Hurt So Bad--despite the lyrics, and 4 Days, Lady, and So Easy.



I would rank this cd after Legacy and Ear-risistable and Phoenix Rising.

I beg to differ; NOT the Tempts I used to know and love

I don't think you could find a bigger, more honest fan than I am regarding the Tempts. Over the yeays I have loved their every move, album, song, etc, with the exception of AWESOME. I did not think it was awesome at all. Now "For Lovers Only" was truly awesome, but this one left me missing the powerful leads of Ali Ollie Woodson, Dennis Edwards, and David Ruffin -- all very capable of rendering distinctive readings. But nothing on this CD comes close. I recently bought Woodson's solo CD and feel he should have stayed with the Tempts. They really need him now and he needs them. .... These are NOT the Tempts that I have known and loved. Save your money and do not buy this CD.

Misleading title and cover art!

Sorry, guys, but this album is anything but "awesome"! Any album that features the Temptations as faces on a "faux Mt. Rushmore" aspires to be quite monumental. Unfortunately, there is not a single song that is not a cut above the norm, none deserving to be done by a group with such a legendary moniker.



I am not one of those that longs for the original Temps, realizing that all but one has gone on to glory; I do wish, however, that the incarnation presented on this disc had been blessed with more appealing songs.



Surviving original member Otis Williams should've insisted upon it.



This is a mediocre follow-up to the Grammy-winning "Phoenix Rising" from 1999 and 2000's "Ear-resistible".



I hope that this year's "Legacy" got the quintet back on track.
