Critical reception AllMusic found that ''Sex, Love & Pain'' offers up more smooth urban contemporary grooves tailor-made for deep, soulful seduction. Tank's upbringing in the church is in ample evidence throughout in his impassioned, gospel-infused delivery, but most of the topics on Sex Love & Pain wouldn't pass muster with the local Reverend. The vibe of the album is generally low-key, with bright, keys-heavy arrangements a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album debuted atop the US ''Billboard'' Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and debuted at number seven on the US ''Billboard'' 200. Critical reception Steve Huey of AllMusic rated ''Force of Nature'' three out of five stars. He found that "there doesn't seem to be much here that will truly separate Tank from the rest of an already crowded R&B pack, but ''Force of Nature'' is well-crafted enough for its Top Ten status to make sense." ''Entertainment Weekly''s Evan Serpick compared Tank's music on ''Force of Nature'' with singer D'Angelo: "But while D'Angelo — with his jazz riffs and vocal subtlety — oozes sexy cool, Tank steamrolls listeners with his leaden beats and showy Mariah-esque gyrations." Commercial performance ''Force of Nature'' debuted and peaked at number 7 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 in the week of March 31, 2001, selling ...
