█ Audio Source: 96KHz/24Bit LPCM 2.0
█
█ Real DVD-Audio sound, refer to spectrals.jpg and back.jpg. Release is
█ maintained at 48KHz since source audio was 96KHz and rules allow for 48KHz if
█ source audio is equal to or higher than that. Enjoy the HQ sound that doesn't
█ kill the sound dynamics!

█ R. Kelly was hardly a stranger to controversy in the early 2000s. In addition
█ to being hit with 21 counts of child pornography in Chicago and 12 more in
█ Polk County, FL, the beleaguered singer/producer faced various sex-related
█ civil suits. All those scandals have, at times, overshadowed his music, which
█ is regrettable because Chocolate Factory has a lot going for it. Emphasizing
█ romantic slow jams, and not as ambitious or risk-taking as 1998's R. -- which
█ is arguably Kelly's best, most essential release despite its own
█ imperfections -- Chocolate Factory, like 2000s TP-2.Com, tends to play it
█ safe. But that doesn't mean Chocolate Factory is without merit; what it lacks
█ in ambition, it makes up for in terms of quality and craftsmanship. Many of
█ the influences that have served Kelly well on previous efforts continue to
█ serve him well on this 2003 release; influences that range from the Isley
█ Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder to
█ Prince, Babyface, and hip-hop. All of those influences were noticeable on
█ Kelly's '90s albums, and they are still noticeable on Chocolate Factory.
█ Nonetheless, Kelly has always been his own man; that is especially obvious
█ when he features Ronald Isley on "Showdown" (not to be confused with the
█ Isley Brothers' 1978 recording). Hearing Kelly and Isley side by side,
█ listeners can easily see how Kelly is able to draw on Isley's influence while
█ projecting a firm, recognizable identity of his own. One hopes that in the
█ future, Kelly will come out with some more albums that are as challenging as
█ R.; even so, Chocolate Factory will go down in history as a solid and
█ pleasing, if somewhat predictable, addition to the Chicagoan's catalog.
