Boyz II Men returned to action in 2000 with Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya, a nearly eponymous title for their first full-fledged adult album. As adults, they've made sure they're responsible for their own music -- at least one member (usually all) has songwriting credits for all but two of the album's 14 songs, and the group is credited with all but four of the album's productions. Usually, when a popular group seizes control of their reins in such a dramatic fashion, the result is muddled to say the least, but a remarkable thing happens here -- the group succeeds. There are no unexpected twists or turns, just the standard lush ballads and swinging hip-hop soul, but it delivers both sonically and substantively. The group is beginning to cut back on their vocal histrionics, resulting in a record that is truly their most mature yet.
