Riding an '80s backbeat and their own velvet harmonies, 112-R&B's answer to the pure-pop boy band-sails into Pleasure & Pain with Let This Go, a hard-edged charmer that works equally well as pound-the-steering-wheel morning commute music or a sophisticated club jam. The rest of the disc follows suit, detouring here and there for ladies-only love songs (Nowhere, That's How Close We Are), a soul interlude (We Goin' Be Alright), and sexy toe-dips into hip-hop (If I Hit featuring T.I. and Closing the Club featuring Three 6 Mafia). More than anything, this fifth album is a measure of the band's musical mettle: Instead of trading entirely on the 1996 sound that earned them a ride up the charts with Only You, Q, Mike, Slim, and Daron work it out in a way that says they're as done with the last century as the rest of us. Best of all, that baby-don't-break-my-heart wail that could pay the boys' bills by itself works it's way into nearly every track. Let This Go 3:59 - Pleasure ; Pain, What If 5:24, U Already Know 3:20, Damn 3:43, Nowhere 3:54, Last to Know 4:00, I'm Sorry (Interlude) 00:45, My Mistakes 4:39, If I Hit 112 T.I. 3:56, The Way 112 Jermaine Dupri 3:24, We Goin' Be Alright 1:35, Why Can't We Get Along 4:15, That's How Close We Are 1 3:55, Closing the Club 112 Three 6 Mafia 4:02, What the Hell Do You Want 5:29, God Knows 5:08
