182. Dru Hill - Enter The Dru (1998)

Apologies for the lack of updates, christmas time and all that. Anyways...

Dru Hill. I think that of all the Male groups spawned by the success of Jodeci and Boyz II Men, Dru Hill showed the most promise. There wasn't a weak voice among them, their first album was solid from start to finish and they had a somewhat flamboyant frontman that got them the attention any new group needs. So it was somewhat of a disappointment when (in my not so humble opinion) 'Enter the Dru' was released and was kind of, 'meh'. There were a couple of notable tracks on there, namely 'How Deep is Your Love', 'Beauty' and the bangin 'Real Freak'. The rest of the album found itself mired in pretentiousness, and came off as thoroughly pedestrian. The first album sounded like Dru Hill, the second like Dru Hill singing the songs of Diane Warren (or someone). Having said that, even on their worst day Dru Hill can sing circles around 90% of the other male groups out there. So here they are at 182.
