worth it for the remix - Reviewed on 2007-12-12

I own the first 4 Silk albums and this album includes no new material. I was given this disc as a gift and enjoy it because it features the Freak Me remix which was out of print for a long time. This album is a good introduction to Silk for those unfamiliar or for someone that just wants the hit singles.

Everyone knows "Freak Me" but the main reason I enjoy the sultry cd so much is because of the songs I had not known about until purchasing this cd. Some critics might dog out these five talented gentlemen for their limited topics in what they sing about but I don't think a lot those critics will be women. This is a great collection to have and they still sound as fresh as they did in all of these songs as they did when debuted in '92.

Silk were always a remarkable collection of voices that harmonized so well, and they could preach the gospel of the bedroom like no other. R. Kelly based a career on Silk's greatest moment, "Freak Me," but the band's albums could be patchy. The biggest problem is that Silk's greatest moments were always about lust and sex, so the collection is a bit limited in topic, but if you have candles and essential oils in your bedroom you might as well have this. Best Of adequately covers their Elektra years, which was when things were really happening, so you don't need to go much further. Despite having roots in the dated world of new jack swing, Best Of still sounds fresh and what their singles lacked in grabbing production they made up for with wonderful harmonies. "There's a meeting in my bedroom/So girl please don't be late" is a line few could deliver without sounding silly, but check the way the members interact on "Meeting in My Bedroom," and you'll be a convert. The old remix of "Freak Me" gets tacked on to the end of the disc and makes the collection even more desirable.My only compliant is they group didn't include the remix of I Can Go Deep.

Oh lordy. These guys can sang!!! Freak Me would have to be one of the most sensual and sexiest songs ever sung. It's amazing and still raises my temperature. Freak Me, Happy Days and Meeting In My Bedroom are the best tracks here, but overall, it's all good. I should get a second copy in case this breaks from over play, but seriously, it's an amazing cd with stunning music and it's a must for any r 'n b fan. These guys are unfortunately very underated. I love them and I love this.

I WAS VERY PLEASED TO FIND THAT I COULD GET ALL OF MY SILK FAVORITES ON 1 CD. I ORIGINALLY WAS GOING TO PURCHASE THEIR CD ENTITLED "LOSE CONTROL" BUT THEN SAW THE ONE I PURCHASED. DON'T THINK I WOULD'VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS CD IN STORES UNLESS I SPECIALLY ORDERED IT.
