4 out of 5 stars Every Bad Boy Needs A Bad Girl.......2007-02-23

The group Total came out when Bad Boy was on top and they really stoodout for a while. On their debut, this album was pretty solid although they didn't have the best voices the choice of songs showcased their vocals well. Pam had that distinct voice that you knew a Total song when you heard it. Keisha was the savvy one, and Kima had a baby voice. Anyway the best tracks on the album are "Don't Ever Change", "Kissin' You", "No One Else",and "Spend Some Time". There really aren't any filler tracks so if you haven't already should definitely check out these "former" Bad Girls.

I've had this since it came out in 96, i used to play it in the clubs then, and people still borrow it to play in the clubs now..... that speaks for itself!!!

3 out of 5 stars Total - actually 3.5 stars.......2006-09-30

I listened to this disc for the first time in a while and was again surprised at how good a debut this is. This album debuted at a golden time for Bad Boy Records and the tone and brash attitude of the trio instantly distinguished them from the other r&b girl groups of that era. The monster hit off of the disc is CAN'T YOU SEE which still sounds great years later.

The second huge single, KISSIN YOU is such a sweetly groovin' ballad and showed that the group wasn't only going to be the background vocalists for Bad Boy's rappers.

Other standout singles to me are: NO ONE ELSE, TELL ME, LOVE IS ALL WE NEED & DON'T EVER CHANGE. Although the producers used a fair amount of samples, like on Mary J. Blige's MY LIFE, they were used in a fresh way which created a new sound for a new group.

I'd recommend this disc to anyone who's curious about not only early Bad Boy artists but also how this group sounded in comparison to some of the other r&b girl groups out at that time.

5 out of 5 stars Total's Debut.......2005-05-13

I remember this album when I was in the 3rd grade. This album was bumpin' in the streets. When you listen to this album, you cannot help but feel the attitude within Total. This album is defined as soulfulhiphopghettofunk. Their attitude and music are a combination of all their life experiences- both the good ones and the bad ones. The album is mostly a mid-tempo vibe,the chemistry between Total can be felt in each note they deliver. This album has been certified Platinum. Remember,this was 1996.

4 out of 5 stars Not Bad.......2004-10-26

I bought this cd 4 years ago. I've always been a Total fan. I think this cd is pretty good. But I haven't heard any recent music from them so I am looking forward to their 3th album.
