Her "All for you" cd is her best work by far. I have to get a new cd because I played it death. Her latest one is nice but not a big hitter with me. She could do much better, and hope that she does.
 Time to rework this tired, tired formula.... August 20, 2008

After I saw in the paper today that Janet was launching a lingerie line, I was just irritated enough to come here to write a review of "Discipline". Too late--Terry Mesnard has just about taken every word out of my mouth. I would add to what he wrote that Janet was at her best when she was addressing social issues and laying down fierce, hard tracks.
With "Janet" she shed her clothes and inhibitions--bravo for you Ms. Jackson--I always thought you might be harboring the need to get just a little nasty! Then "The Velvet Rope" took that a step further and I was wowed by the funk party she threw. Since then I've felt that she has gone the way of Mariah Carey in the "make the world my gynecologist" department. Pretty much every song has to have that "I Feel Love" vibe to it. Ok Janet, we get it, you're sexually liberated--MOVE ON!
Say what you will about Madonna--and don't forget, Janet did have her say about Madonna's sexually explicit material--but Madonna did at least have a point to make with all of her sexually in-your-face moments. Janet and Mariah are just sexual in the "Look at me, I'm a butterfly, moth, whatever--dancing in the flames of love, making shadows on the wall...la, la, la!" Ok--we get your point--NEXT!
There might be a reason Janet's been on such a slippery slope with her career for the last several years--it all sounds and looks like rehash--hardly anything she does doesn't sound familiar like you might have heard it on one of her other albums. Even in her videos she has the look of someone who is only concerned with all that is superficial--even the way she looks smacks of overproduction. And, if I hear her tell me another nickname she had as a kid or call out the names of her friends in another song...don't even get me started on those "I'm sick of them by the second listen" interludes! Doesn't she have anything to say about "the state of the world today" anymore...or are her sexuality and physical perfection the only things that are on her mind? And then there are all of those lip-synced performances, which really irritate me when you've paid the purchase price to see a show--be it live or on dvd. Having a little help is one thing, but when your mouth doesn't even move with the sound--please!
I haven't given up on her, but she better find a new groove if she ever wants to be as relevant as she once was. I know the girl still has a care for something in the world besides sex, and that there's probably still a slammin' album in her somewhere, but this mess ain't a workin'!!!
 Oh Janet, i just love you August 18, 2008

Ok so i usually wait a bit until i write a rewiew. I bought this CD the day it came out, and all i can say is that it's my favourite Album that came out this year so far. I still listen to it almost everyday without skiping any songs and i just simply love it.
Now i decided to write a review to sort some things out... as i'm reading horrible reviews i tend to think that the aproach of an audience to an album is so much related to the sales results... this album has been fastly forgotten yes, but of course, i mean, if your record company drops you after two weeks of your album release, who's gonna make good numbers? I just can't understand how many artists out there are doing so great with crappy albums while DISCIPLINE, which is hot, is not doing well. Well, i actually do. With no support from the media, you have nothing to do.
I just wanna recomend everyone to get this CD, cause simply what you'll purchase is GOOD QUALITY MUSIC.
Listen to Can't B Good by the way... it's my favourite track
Janet Jackson - Discipline 5.5/10 August 10, 2008

Ah, the Jackson family. Whether it is Michael entertaining youngsters with wine and roofies or Janet showing off her body at the Super Bowl, they can always be counted on to deliver fresh, legal music. While Janet's last two albums had many thinking she had lost her pop touch, Discipline throws her back into the club with a number of righteous jams and a few duds.
First single "Feedback" opens with its namesake before dropping back to a steel-drum rhythm and Janet's seductive, Michael-esque voice telling the listener that "tonight my body's an exhibition baby / don't be scared to touch it / so come and get it babe." Hey, no one ever said Jackson was a lyrical genius, but the production on the song by D'Mile and Darkchild is irresistibly danceable.
Not all of the songs on the album are as club-ready, such as the boring "Rock With U" and the embarrassing ballad "Can't B Good." Jackson's inexplicable decision to include a number of interludes where she talks to a robot or says unintentionally comedic nuggets like "four words: love, faith, hope, destiny" stunt the album's momentum.
Nevertheless, Discipline's strong production is perfectly tailored for the dance floor and will no doubt put the Jackson name back on the airwaves.
