Tank starts off with Coldest describing just what he wants and in my opinion he gives it. This album is amazing because for once a guy tells his story and doesn't worry about what other people have to say. It isn't computerized lyrics that are... (Read full review at Amazon)

Tank does not get the respect he deserves. This guy continually puts out great albums. You can tell that he takes his time. Why is it that 40-year old men like R. Kelly put out songs like "I'm a Flirt" and sales go through the roof but someone... (Read full review at Amazon)

I can listen to the majority of the tracks on this CD uninterupted. Although I feel that Tank made a grave and immature mistake by putting 2 vulgar skits in between songs, something that could have been played out loud at a park or cookout etc... (Read full review at Amazon)

Let me start by saying, I love my old tyrese cd. But didn't expect tank to sound like his baby brotha. I found myself skipping way too much on this album, wondering...is this really the cd I reviewed on amazon? The 30second snipets give far too... (Read full review at Amazon)

All I got to say is dayum--Tank really did it with this album. I bought his first album when it came out and really loved that one, but this is different, more soulful and hypnotic, this is the type of music you want to be playin in the... (Read full review at Amazon)
Tank, on Sex, Love & Pain, is like Luther Vandross only slightly lewder: He'll be the first to admit, as he does on the three-part opening track "Coldest," that he's "somewhat of a hustler out here on the street... occasional strip clubs and shots of Hennessy." That doesn't stop him from laying his heart on the line, though. Repeatedly. Midtempo grooves like "I'm Coming Home," a hopeful reunion song, and "Heartbreaker," a limber-voiced lament that outlines a crumbled relationship, show Tank's tender side and take the romantically inclined places more real-seeming than Luther's songs. Throughout the long lineup of love-gone-wrong tracks, the brawny guy with the tattooed back doesn't forget his playful side, either. Before Timbaland sidles up and gets closing track "I Love Them Girls" all trademark-sizzly, Tank does some titillating of his own via the sexed-up steamer "My Body." --Tammy La Gorce
