The most striking thing about ''Factory'' is its let's-get-down-to-freaky-business-as-usual vibe. It's largely a collection of the sort of steamy, silky slow jams at which Kelly -- who wrote, produced, and arranged the whole shebang -- has always excelled.

Chocolate Factory will go down in history as a solid and pleasing, if somewhat predictable, addition to the Chicagoan's catalog.

His seventh album serves as a reminder - but its soft-focus, ballady slush doesn't become him.

As the brains behind “Chocolate Factory,” Kelly is both the creator of his newest fantasy and its ultimate consumer.

The result is Chocolate Factory, a bumper collection of smoochy ballads from the self-styled King of Love that'll be sure to feature in every disco slow-set from now until Christmas.

Overall I'd have to say this is R. Kelly's best album since 12 Play.
