Start from track 4, then let 'er rip... Mar 08, 2007
The new material on this CD is not all that great with the exception of the remake of "Float On." Now, that's the joint. But the rest is just mediocre. The old cuts bring back memories, "Ain't My Type Of Hype" from House Party (which is ridiculously left off the soundtrack). Who can forget the battle between Kid and Play and Sydney and Sharaine? Classic.
They did leave off "All In My Mind" and "Love Is For Suckers Like Me" but I guess they couldn't include them all. Track 14 could have been left off. It's just some guy cursing into the microphone about how fine Roxanne Shante was. The last track is a new recording of Cheryl Pepsii Riley's "Thanks For My Child" which she is definitely over-singing on. She turned it into a stage play performance and toward the end of the song, you really begin to tire of the unnecessary riffs. She is singing as if she's standing directly in front of Randy, Paula and Simon and in dire need of a recording contract. I can't understand why they just didn't include the original version. It is much better.
If you want a taste of the old and new Full Force this may be the CD for you. Their version of "Float On" alone is worth purchasing this one. However, if you just want that straight up old school Full Force, you may want to go with their Greatest Hits CD.

 FULL FORCE was already tough,now they gangsta. WHY?????? Oct 09, 2004
Yeah,what a reunion album (not that F.F. ever broke up). It stinks. Mainly,the 1st 6 selections (which are the new songs) while they use real rappers to fill in what UTFO and ECROF used to do which makes the new songs even whacker.
Oh yeah,oh my God. If you can,find the clean version of this album. The profanity is ridicious (STAR and FUNKMASTER FLEX are the worst),never has FULL FORCE allowed so much cussin' on an album in the 80's (they saved that for their liner notes,seriously).
From 8 on,F.F. classics like "Alice,I Want You Just For Me","Temporary Love Thing","Ain't My Type Of Hype" and "Unselfish Lover" and classics written and produced for others like JAMES BROWN,CHERYL "PEPSII" RILEY,LISA LISA & CULT JAM,UTFO and 'N SYNC are the worthwhile listening tracks (even 'N SYNC,go figure).
If you want a good portion of the classics,buy AHEAD OF THEIR TIME,this is the new century and the new F.F. material 'ain't nothin' to F wit'. This gangsta trash "Ain't My Type Of Hype",dig?

Full Force - Jan 16, 2002
This album is worth it if you are a collector and want all of there albums ever made but I would wait on this one and buy the other greatest hits album put out on Thump Records. Much better........

Very Dissapointed Aug 04, 2001
Being a fan of Full Force from back in the day, I was very dissapointed with the new album. Over half of the album is either hits they did themselfs or produced. Except for Float on With Us, there is no reason to buy this album.

 FULL FORCE IS BACK!! Aug 03, 2001
In actuality they never left. Once the force has been felt, it lives on indefinitely. You must marvel at FF's ability to adjust to the times and roll with the tragedies they have experienced and continue to slap the industry for trying to keep them down, they are most definitely Still Standin'!. Not many knew they aided Britney's climb as well as N'Sync and The Backstreet Boys. I rated Still Standin' a 5 mainly because the brothers are back and they gave me some of the classics that I only have on wax and my turntable is broke and I couldn't reminisce, but now I can! Let's talk about the new: Both the Float On cuts are hittin'. Leave it to FF to bring such a broad range of talent together. When you have Meth on the ruff cut and Montell on the smoove one, you can't miss. The force has not lost its touch for producing the beautiful ballad and proper storytelling. Sadly, the spare sound of the big drum, melodious keys and thumping bass must be found on the classics. Now for the old: FF has too many productions to try to include only 9 previous hits on the CD. Each one that is on it should have been included, although that was the first time I heard the Backstreet Boys' cut. As a true FF fan I have to demand a true greatest productions CD to include: United, Dream Believer, Unfaithful, Your Love Is So Def, Love Is For Suckers, Low Blow Brenda, Black Radio, ALL IN MY MIND, Friends B4 Lovers, Physical Commitment, Sharon, If It's Cool Witcha, God Will Fix It, Sugar On Top, Can You Feel The Beat, You'll Never Change, Naughty Girls, Let's Go-Go, Little Jackie, the UTFO joints, and yes even LaToya's Wicked Love (remix). For you true FF fans, you'll be glad to hear that they have maintained their sense of humor in their songs and the guest interludes entertain. It was good to hear another top FLYTE production team, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, show their respect and appreciation for these brothers' skills. Needless to say, a CD with all of the remixes and extended versions is a must. Their ability to funk up their own funk has always amazed me. All in all this is a very good CD and a MUST for your Full Force collection.
