Music Review

Force of Nature

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Lead Performance: Tank; Genre: R&B

D'Angelo has inspired many imitators: Musiq Soulchild, Jaheim, and now Tank, who even cops Voodoo's shirtless cover photo for Force of Nature. But while D'Angelo — with his jazz riffs and vocal subtlety — oozes sexy cool, Tank steamrolls listeners with his leaden beats and showy Mariah-esque gyrations. Tanks, but no tanks.
