It's kinda shocking how poorly their hits have aged (to my ears)! I really liked them at the time, compared to other stuff that was on the radio, but now the Timbaland-influenced production that was in style at the time just sounds so tinny and frenetic, like five games of racquetball being played in the same court. It was hearing Jumpin' Jumpin' on the radio recently in particular that made me wrinkle my nose and have whatever the opposite feeling of nostalgia is

I kinda see what you mean but I still find most of Survivor's hits pretty cool and so are "Say My Name", "Bills"...The difference for me is mostly that in retrospect, I find their early stuff, and many Timbaland and other production of that time, less revolutionary/groundbreaking and more a natural evolution of New Jack and early/mid 90s RnB.

i still like most of their hits *shrug*
i may like "jumpin' jumpin'" better than i did when it was last on the radio b/c it was so overplayed back then that it had kind of soured on me
