At this point in the group's career, though they were still making gold albums, most of the material the brothers recorded seem stale and outdated. Despite scoring two R&B hits with "Hurry Up and Wait" and "I Once Had Your Love (And I Can't Let Go)", the group was running out of steam commercially and musically.
