The super talented group Jagged Edge have released their most recent CD on the Columbia recording label, entitled Hard.
Jagged Edge have been a super stars in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Hard is an excellent illustration as to why.
Hard has a nicely varied, mix of 15 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Overall Hard is a solid release. Quite possibly Jagged Edge’s best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.
While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Walked Outta Heaven, track 7 – Trying To Find The Words, and track 15 – They Ain’t JE – Remix.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – They Ain’t JE. Wow!

holy shit 3000 just went the fuck off for 2 minutes. His annunciation and wording in his verses are so smooth. His style gave birth to Lil’ waynes current career.
@frankwhite432 Dude you can rate J and 3 stacks. J is always talking about bullshit and all of the things he has and bought with his money. Who cares about that. 3 stacks on the other hand has real metaphors about real shit. So if you ask me JayBIRD is right ANDRE 3000 > JAY-Z
