This decade-spanning compilation charts the singer-dancer-actress's transformation from rebellious teenager to sexy diva, along the way check-listing major hits like "Nasty," "Miss You Much," "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" and "Rhythm Nation." Two new tracks bookend the set, but even the older material--most of it helmed by writer-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis--holds up remarkably well. --Courtney Kemp

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great compliation of Janet Jackson's hits.......2007-05-15

Great CD, as contains all of Janet's best known hits.

5 out of 5 stars THE TALENTED JACKSON.......2007-02-10

Janet once again shows that she is the talented one in her family by blasting out some amazing dance tunes along with a few slower ballads.

5 out of 5 stars design of a wonderful career.......2007-02-02

This was the first janet album I ever bought and from then on I became a fan for life. This album is full of her hits from control and RN in addition to a hit from the janet. album and 2 new tracks. I love to play this album when I don't feel like switching to different janet CD's for hearing different songs. I don't think anyone's r&b/pop collection is complete without this compilation of some of the greatest pop music of our time.

4 out of 5 stars Janet is a legend!.......2007-01-27

This CD is abslutely incredible. The one and only reason that I took one star off is because of the weird concept. It inclues all her hits from A&M records, as well as two new songs and "That's the Way Love Goes". I understand the reasoning, butit is still a bit akward.

Regardless, that doesn't take away from the fantastic music. It starts off with "Runaway" which is a classic Janet 'holiday' song in the vein of 'Escapade". The camera'click sound on each beat is very catchy and unique.

The next few tracks are from Janet's 1986 breakthrough "Control": "What Have you Done for me Lately", "Nasty" and "When I Think Of You". All classic singles that have the most seductive dance beats and attitude that makes Janet who she is.

It continues with four tracks from "Rhythm Nation 1814": "Escapade", "Miss You Much", "Love Will Never Do...", and "Alright" They all have futuristic, yet 80's pop beat to them which is the tone for the RN1814 album. Of course, they'll all extremely catchy. "Alight" appears in it's radio remix form, which is a nice little treat.

The album continues with two more "Control" tracks: The amazing "Control", and "The Pleasure Principle". Jimmy, Terry and Janet did great job on these. They are R&B classics that sound even better today. Next are "Black Cat" and "Rhythm Nation. The former is also in radio remix form which is a nice luxury. "Rhythm Nation" is basically the same as it's album verison, with the excusion of Janet's 'pledge speech' at the beginning.

The last four songs are slow jams, each from a different album. "That's the Way Lvoe Goes" from 'janet.' is J's biggest hit, and with good reason. The beat is so sexy, as are Janet's vocals. The groove is absolutely blissful. Next is "Come Back to Me" (RN1814), a fantastic soothing R&B ballad that sounds ahead of it's time. "Let's Wait A while" is Janet's first hit ballad (from "Control"), and it's a very sweet song about waiting to have sex. Last but not least is anoher new track "Twenty Foreplay" which starts off as a sweet slow ballad, and then changes it's tone to a straight-up funky, love-making jam.

All-in-all,this CD demonstrates what an amazing talent Janet Jackson is, and what pleasure it is to have her as part of he music industry.

4 out of 5 stars Missing a couple of good ones, but still an affordable and mostly well-chosen overview.......2006-11-26

All of the albums whose material are collected on this set should really be listened to in their entirety, but this is still worth obtaining for the two new songs that were on it, the whimsical "Runaway" and the dreamy sex ballad "Twenty Foreplay". Both of these were great songs that sounded more like vintage hits instead of tacked-on filler.

4 out of 5 stars Design of a Decade..........2007-02-15

A good disc, as it contains most of her hits. But they could have done more! Four stars!!

5 out of 5 stars Perfection before "Nipplegate".......2006-02-15

This album's bangin', pure and simple! If you don't know why, you need to buy this album.

Back in the day before Mariah and Mary J., an iconic performer and entertainer rivaled Whitney Houston and MaDonna for pop music supremacy.

I grew up listening to Janet through the 80s and 90s. This album perfectly captures her better days.

This album is a compilation throwback to a day when artists only put the finest tracks on their album (no filler) and if you had a blockbuster LP -- like Control & Rhythm Nation were -- it meant you put out 5+ singles from your album (so they all had to be fire).

Hard to pick a favorite Janet song -- it's like picking your favorite child.

*Come Back to Me -- Favorite slow jam
*24Play -- Favorite sex jam
*When I Think of You -- Best radio-friendly jam
*Pleasure Principle -- Best Janet song that was made into video
*Control -- Favorite anthem song
*Nasty Girl -- Favorite dance track

This is an album you can listen to all the way through with high energy and an urge to replay each song.

Very highly recommended LP to add to your collection whether you're a pop/R&B fan or not.

5 out of 5 stars Music from the Rhythm nation.......2005-09-09

`Design of a decade' is Janet's career retrospective of the previous ten hit filled years. A US #3 and UK #2. An amazing collection released when she was 29 and had amassed a staggering 19 US top 10 singles, most co penned by her. The songs are however not arranged chronologically. Released in 4 different versions with slightly different track lists, this is the UK/Europe version.

Unlike quite a number of other female (especially dance) artists, Janet does not have a powerful voice. Her forte is finding catchy, funky, incredibly danceable tracks to suit her very pretty but wisp like vocals to perfection, and this collection shows just how clever that pairing is.

Opening up with the brand new track, the oriental tinged pop/R&B of `Runaway', with lyrics taking the listener on a trip around the world, and an amazing video. A US #3 and UK top 5 hit.

Next up is the razor sharp dance track `What have you done for me lately', her first US or UK top 10 (US #4 UK #3), and the lead off single from her ground breaking `Control' album. Featuring man bashing lyrics, this track inspired acts like Jody Watley (`Lookin' for a new love') and Pebbles to name a few.

`Nasty', the Prince like funk track calling for respect. `My middle name aint baby/it's Janet/Ms Jackson if you're nasty'. US#3 UK#19. Taken from `Control'.

The upbeat pop/dance number `When I think of you' was her first US #1, and a UK #10. From `Control'.

The catchy, fun filled `Escapade' which is faintly similar to `Runaway' was from the ambitious concept album `Rhythm Nation 1814', and was a US #1 and UK #17.

The sparse Prince sounding but hard hitting `Miss you much' was a US #1 and UK #22. From `Rhythm nation'.

`Whoops now' is a sunny sounding, bouncy pop number, released in the UK, it hit #10. It was a hidden track on some copies of the `Janet' CD.

The slowed down dance/funk of `Love will never do without you' with its chunky beats was a US #1. Featuring Janet sinking is a smoky lower register in the opening verses before launching into her familiar range. This was the 7th single off the `Rhythm nation' album, a record setting 7 top 5 singles off an album, a record that still stands today.

`Alright' with its epic video featuring cameos from Cab Calloway and Heavy D was a US #4. Also from `Rhythm nation' and featured here in a remix.

Next up was `The best things in life are free', a duet with Luther Vandross from the soundtrack to the movie `Mo money'. An upbeat house number, it hit #10 in the US and #2 in the UK.

`Control' was a US #5. A funk/pop song with hip hop beats and lyrics like `When I was 17/I did what people told me/Did what my father said and let my mother mould me/but that was long ago/I'm in Control'. Janet was telling us she was all grown up and taking control of her life.

`The pleasure principle' is an upbeat synth driven dance song, US #14. Taken from `Control'.

`Black cat' penned solely by Janet is head banging rock, a surprise lone change in musical direction from the `Rhythm nation' album. Another US #1 and UK #20, and featured here in a remix.

Title track `Rhythm nation' is a clunky industrial sounding funk number. US #2.

`That's the way love goes', due to contractual issues, is the sole representation from her uber sexy `Janet' album. A mellow R&B song, it was a US #1 and UK #2.

`Come back to me' (remixed here) is a ballad off the `Rhythm nation' album, a US #2. The tender ballad `Let's wait awhile' (about taking things slow in a relationship) was the 5th top 5 single off the `Control' album (US #2, UK #3), a feat that was achieved for the first time by a female, and which she surpassed on her next album.

The brand new smoldering ballad `Twenty fore play' (with a nice change in tempo midway through) closes out this superb collection from one of dance music's premier songstresses.

Full of fabulous photos of Janet from 86 to 95 (including stills from videos), a very lengthy write up (including snippets from interviews with Janet and Jam & Lewis) on the evolution of her music from 86 to 95, as well as chart statistics and numerous awards received by Janet.

Superb!

P.S. The CD cover photo is different from what is displayed here on amazon; it is a black & white shot of Janet from the bust up, smiling and looking slightly to the left.

5 out of 5 stars design of a decade.......2005-06-16

A great review album of all of janet top 10 hits feauturing a hidden track from janet's 1993 releaase JANET. and The Best Things In Life Are Free, a B- side single note that most tracks from the 1993 release janet are neglected due to contractual reasons because the album was released under virgin while DOAD was released under her former label A&M who have no rights to her music from virggin due to the kindness of the virgin record company and janet herself that's the way love goes and whoops now are feautred great buy and alittle bit better than the u.s release due to the extra tracks 99.9/100

5 out of 5 stars no-one could of designed it better.......2004-04-24

Woah !! Janet Jackson's career over the past 20 years has been just abousolutely amazing !! (21 years to be exact) Anybody who has given this incredible album less than 5 stars, then I just can't understand why, it's amazing !! I especially got a shock when a reviewer on Amazon.co.uk said that this was a cheesy little hits collection over the past decade and titled their review BAD. You just need to listen more ... Well, this album managed #2 in the UK Top 75 and did not top the US Charts but has been highly succesful selling more than 1000 million copies around in europe (? - or around the world) but anyway, has been highly succesful. Many viewers and listeners argued that Design Of A Decade 1986 - 1996 had no releases from her flopped albums in the state, 'Janet Jackson' (her debut) and 'Dream Street' which flopped even more than her debut ! Please note that there were no singles from those 2 albums. Her 5th album 'Janet' also nearly being completely wiped out ... Here is my review.

The album 'Design Of A Decade 1986 - 1996' begins with one of the 'new' songs, at the time of the albums release, just at the end of 1995. 'Runaway' (10/10) has a fresh new upbeat and a nice chorus, and verses for that matter.This song grew up to be in my Top 10 Janet songs !! We are next treated to Three unforgetable classics from the 'Control' album. Beginning with 'What Have You Done For Me Lately' (10/10) Janet's first ever single !! Not many people release it but it was. It got up to #3 in the UK Charts spanning a 14 week period. Next is 'Nasty' (10/10) a underrated #19 in the Charts with, this time a 9 week period. Includes the Tounge (sp ?) in cheeck retort 'Janet miss jackson -if you're nasty' the whole of it being 'No my first name ain't baby, it's Janet Miss jackson' and so on (mentioned above) i love that part !! Should have been a US No 1. Next in is 'When I Think Of You' (10/10) track 4. We are treated to our first US No 1 here. A great song spanning in the Top 10 UK, infact spanning exactly at #10 and 10 weeks to. (10,10,10 - Am I confusing you ?!) So yep, this song did do very well. The next 2 songs were also US No 1's and from 'Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814'. 'Escapade' (10/10) and 'Miss You Much' (10/10) I abouslutely adore both songs but quite dissapointing positions in the UK (Escapade - #17 , 7 weeks + Miss You Much - #22 , 7 weeks) Nevertheless, I enjoy them alot !! The next track is one of the two songs from her 'express sexual feelings' album, 'Janet.' 'Whoops Now' (10/10) is a track I was so happy to have with me when I relaized It was on here. I'd heard it on the radio millions of times before and was like 'Janet sung this ?!' when i heard it was on here. A B-Side single along with 'What'll I Do' also from the 'Janet.' album. UK Chart position was #9 spanning 8 weeks. OH MY GOD !!!!!! - the next song is my all-time favourite Janet song, 'Love Will Never Do (Without You)' (11/10 !!) was another US No 1 for Janet and a great one to - but just #34 and 4 weeks on UK charts ... Must be because all people bought it in the US. The next song is 'Alright' (10/10), look at Love Will Never Do (Without You) and Escapade for information on this song. All i'm going to say is it's a great song. 'The Best Things In Life Are Free (Janet & Luther Vandross)' (10/10) is the next song. It spanned #2 on the charts and 13 weeks. I not that keen on Luther myself but this song totally made me forget I hated him !!! The next 2 songs are more unforgetable classics from Janet's 'Control' album. The title track itself ('Control') (10/10) and 'The Pleasure Principal' (10/10) Control was the only Janet song not to get in the Top 40 (UK) at #42, apart from 'Funny How Time Flies' also from the album 'Control' which didn't really have any contact to it. Control faired better in the US. For more info, see tracks 2,3 & 4. The next 2 hits are from '... 1814'. 'Black Cat' (10/10) and 'Rhythm Nation' (10/10) are wicked !! I'm lovin' the beginnig of 'Rhythm Nation' and the guitar solo on 'Black Cat' !!! Track 15 is 'That's The Way Love Goes' (10/10) the last single on here from the 'Janet.' album ... Where is 'Again, Because Of Love, If & You Want This' ? Classics like that. That's The Way Love Goes spent 10 weeks on the UK chart and it's highest chart position being No. 2. However, it managed US No 1 topping the charts for 8 Weeks !!! The next track is 'Come Back To Me' (10/10) from '... 1814'. All I can say is it's Janet's bbest ballad ever !!! The next 2 tracks are 'Let's Wait Awhile' and 'Twenty Foreplay' (another 'new' track) both worthy of 9/10 stars/points because they just ... well ... not as good as the other tracks on the album. Toppa hits collection !!!

3. The Knowledge - Q Sound MIx
4. Say You Do (Lp Version) NOTE: This is actually the 12" Remix
5. Don't Stand Another Chance (Lp Version)
6. French Blue
7. When I Think Of You (Jazzy Mix)

The remix for Young Love was not available when this song was on the radio. The Q Sound Mix for The Knowledge is not too different from the album version. Cool Summer Mix Edit for Diamonds is very good. If you remember the Cool Summer Mix of Nasty, this is alot like that, too bad it's not the full version. Now for Say You Do: The version here is the 12" Remix for this song, however it was put on the cd release of Janet's self-titled album instead of the 4 minute something album version. That version is on the vinyl release. French Blue is from Janet's days of working with Jesse Johnson and the production is similar to Jam & Lewis's earlier work with Janet. The remix of When I Think of You is a 1995 remix by David Morales.
