 Love the Album; Hate the Strigent Tactics... Apr 07, 2007
I purchased this CD for personal use only which includes adding the tracks to my MP3 Player...In actuality I was the one who got played because of the strigent tactics to prohibit piracy I can't enjoy the music on the go as I had planned. Lesson learned; blessing earned: I will purchase no more "copy-protected" music. I nor other music lovers should be punished for the greed of others...What is our crime but the love of music?
 Phenomenal Artist Jan 04, 2007
Angie Stone has a quality about her. I love her music. I am looking forward to more releases from her.

 It's too bad... May 07, 2006
I like Angie Stone's music not just because it's got that classic old-school/soul sound, but also because the groove of her music suits her singing style. She's a gifted singer with an amazing voice. This album once again displays her talent and is a nice follow-up to Mahogany Soul, if perhaps a teeny bit more commercial with all the guests she brings in -- which isn't a complaint, but I suspect the guests were brought to give this album a broader appeal. And they often yield great results. But while the guest appearances by Floetry on "My Man" and Anthony Hamilton on "Stay for Awhile" were brilliant, I was less impressed with Snoop on "I Wanna Thank Ya." I liked the rap-free version better -- I don't think Snoop was really needed, and maybe could've been used better elsewhere. Other standout tracks include "U-Haul," "Lover's Ghetto," "You Don't Love Me" and "Karma."
Overall, it's another stellar performance by Stone which musically deserves 4 stars, but I'm only giving 3 because of the Content Protection. I don't believe in piracy but if I buy the CD, I feel I should be able to copy it to my iPod. Nor should I have to shell out $35 just so I can buy the Japanese import that isn't Content Protected. So my advice: this is an excellent album and worthy of your collection, particularly if you're a fan of that classic '70s soul sound. But if you listen to most of your music on an iPod (as opposed to a CD player), you may want to consider purchasing the entire album in an mp3 format.

STOP COPY PROTECTION Apr 25, 2006
the US release of Angie Stone's "Stone Love" is ruined by Copy protection. Soem cds say "Content protected". When a cd is labeled as "Content protection", usually it includes SunnComm MediaMax Version 5 content protection software that may expose security vulnerability when played on PCs and usually you can make small amounts of copies to cd-r's and I-pods or other digital music players. but this is "copy protected". I can't even transfer it onto cassette. And from my understanding, every international release of this album except Japan, also is copy protected. I know that the music industry is trying to cut down on Piracy but I feel that once you purchase a cd, it's yours and you should be able to do whatever you want with it. I don't think it was fair that I had to buy this twice : once on cd form and the other on I Tunes. I am against music piracy but I'm also against copy protecting cds. I hate that I can't transfer this cd onto my i pod

SHE'S ALWAYS ON THE CUSP... Dec 07, 2005
Angie has been in the game for about 2 decades now and she just can't seem to make that breakout leap, ya know? But it's all good. This one is nice though. Not her best effort but a solid one. Nothing really jumps out at you sans the lead single.
Typical Angie-esque. Bonus is that Anthony Hamilton appears, so that makes it all good.
