Maybe because it reminds of me of that whole 90's R&B sound (i.e. Mary J Blige, TLC, etc.) I don't why people treat Bedtime Stories like a redheaded stepchild.K.

I think it was a great balance of r&b and new sound to take her away from all the sex/erotica backlash. I love bedtime stories! It was a good time to be in yr 20s.

I actually almost tripped a couple of times when I ejected the cassette to turn it to the other side. Every syllable of that album is ingrained into my brain and to this day, it fits like a glove. "Secret" and it's remixes is my personal favorite song from the album, followed by "Human Nature". Every song, though, stands on it's own. It's some of her best work!shle896https://www.blogger.com/profile/04262771334432463994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-51010513733871795102011-10-26T04:04:44.671-07:002011-10-26T04:04:44.671-07:00PS the cover of Human Nature has to be one of her ...PS the cover of Human Nature has to be one of her best single covers ever.Dontlookbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819849083099195590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-77105692736270334242011-10-26T04:03:49.842-07:002011-10-26T04:03:49.842-07:00Love the pink vinyl.

Hated the European upside down cover photo (how did they get away with that?!)<br /><br />Loved half the album, including I'd Rather Be Your Lover and Love Tried to Welcome Me. Didn't care for Bedtime Story the song, at all, but loved Sanctuary.<br /><br />There was a BRILLIANT review of the album in the UK's NME which gave it 9/10 and came with the headline "My, what big hits you have". Anybody have it? Would be great to see it again.Dontlookbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819849083099195590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-67758197289972410462011-10-26T01:20:03.530-07:002011-10-26T01:20:03.530-07:00I have that vinyl special pink edition, is that va...I have that vinyl special pink edition, is that valuable?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328420694699297174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-78036374042448968582011-10-25T23:01:21.272-07:002011-10-25T23:01:21.272-07:00tony. i love you for who you are.tony. i love you for who you are.Pud Whackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01330028293649667913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-16903261335573960732011-10-25T22:57:14.025-07:002011-10-25T22:57:14.025-07:00I have!

It's a slow burn of an album, but never becomes tiresome or repetitive. 'Sanctuary' is a hidden gem of a song that pairs up wonderfully with 'Bedtime Story'John Wielgoszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669579735525993553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-60635739146291433062011-10-25T20:46:13.454-07:002011-10-25T20:46:13.454-07:00Easily her worst album.Easily her worst album.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863069459025815561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-23052453676521571642011-10-25T20:19:40.257-07:002011-10-25T20:19:40.257-07:00This one was a lull for me.

Junior V was still doing the mixes, and the club scene in NY was still existing. <br />I felt this was a good balance of R&B pop meets UK sound. <br />I love the start of Survival, very fun pop, and i love how sanctuary blends into bedtime story. <br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741750437311864307.post-76536409422003115152011-10-25T18:51:57.986-07:002011-10-25T18:51:57.986-07:00Good album.
