Editorial Review:
"A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it.
"So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it.
"I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. "I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that."
"Deluxe Edition includes the same CD as the regular edition, plus a DVD."

Rating:  - GOOD TIMING
I was going to the concert and I had to have this before I went. I got my wish. It was in great condition.
Rating:  - Time to rework this tired, tired formula....
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Janet Has Become A Contrived Cliche'
Back in 1986, when young Janet Jackson took CONTROL of her life,
her music and her personal affairs, I was one of her biggest fans!
I bought all of her CD's, attended every concert tour, and knew every video routine by heart from 1986's "Control" to 1997's "Velvet Rope"!!
After that, she released a greatest hits compliation "Design Of A Decade" with the slamming song "24 Play" on it, and I loved that one too!
But after that, she has, in my opinion, been on a downhill slide as ... Read More
Rating: - Way better than the last 2!
I have always been a huge Janet Jackson fan. Ever since her debut in 1982 I watched her rise to stardom. She is still one of my favorite artists of all time. For the first time ever, her last 2 albums disappointed me. Damita Jo and 20 Y.O., did not live up to its standards. She chose the right path this time. Way to go Janet! The song "Feedback" is her best in years, in my opinion, it's her best since 2001's "Someone To Call My Lover". Even though it had very little airplay and almost 0 promotion. It's ... Read More
Rating: - Discipline
I've said this before about Mary J Blige but I truly admire artists who still have enough love for and interest in music to keep putting product out there for us to enjoy. The 2 things that I hate about peoples' comments about Janet Jackson are the seeming inability of a lot of people to let the Superbowl incident die and comments about her age. Most people who comment negatively about this album on message boards have not even listened to the album, they merely parrot comments about it being sexually ... Read More
