Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: The perfect anchor to Stevie's "Classic Period"!! Comments: SITKOF is the fifth album from what is known as Stevie wonder's "Classic Period," preceded by "Music Of my Mind," "Talking book," "Innervisions," and "Fulfillingness 1st Finale." This 21 song collector's album has Stevie playing many tracks on his own while making much more use of additional top-notch musicians on the others. Lyrically wise, Stevie doesn't miss a beat. You get so much of what he's famous for, calls for love and peace ("Love's In Need Of Love Today"), biting social commentary ("Village Ghetto Land", "Saturn"), and soothing balladry ("As", "Knocks Me Off My Feet" and "If It's Magic"). "Sir Duke" is a perky trihowevere to the "Big Band" era and "I Wish" is a catchy, some would say funny, childhood remimiscence. "Black Man" is a shout-out to the contrihoweverions that people of all races and genders have made to the world with a slamming funky groove!! SITKOF even Comes with2instrumentals, the jazzy, uptempo "Contusion" and the mellow, harmonica-driven "Easy Goin Evening (My Mama's Call)." While I would endorse the complete "Classic Period," SITKOL by itself should satisfy the average fan's appetites!! |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: Songs In The Key of Life Has A Masterlock For Being The Best Album of All-Time Comments: There are only a handful of cds (and I mean a handful) that are the gold standard of greatness & true musicianship. "Purple Rain" & "Sign 'O' The Times" by Prince, "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye & of course "Thriller" by Michael Jackson are examples of this gold standard of greatness. however "Songs In The Key of Life" by Stevie Wonder is without a doubt the almost all complete music recording of our time. Stevie makes the almost all perfectly crafted songs that express love, joy, spirituality, history & social commentary while keeping you entertained throughout the entire experience. I could go on & on however I will not. Just check out this musical masterpiece for yourself. |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: Classic album and probably his best Comments: I think this is1of the best albums ever recorded, it certainly makes a powerful musical statement and cements Stevie Wonder as1of the greatest music artists of the 20th century. The 1st CD has almost allly shorter, self reflective songs that are more introspective, while the second has longer, more celebratory and enchanting songs (Not that there aren't also upbeat songs on the 1st disc, like "Sir Duke" and "I Wish"). Overall, I think its fairly lighthearted and happy music, which is why I like it so much. Some of the material on his previous albums had darker underpinnings, while this is a much more celebratory record. Its definitely his magnum opus as an artist and is easily deserving of5stars. Check out songs like "Knocks Me Off My Feet" and "As" for examples of his genius as a songwriter. I highly endorse Songs in the Key of Life and Innervisions as terrific records of his that deserve to be heard (a lot!!). |
