Data Insight
Daron Jones drops to one credit, the only album where he is nearly absent from the writing, and the other three carry eight or nine each. Jermaine Dupri, Warryn Campbell and The Track Boyz come in instead, so the record is written more from outside than anything since the debut.
Pleasure & Pain came out on Def Soul in March 2005 and is certified gold, the group's last album before a twelve-year gap. Seventeen tracks in 61:28.
