Hit: 5 Stars
Are You Gonna Go My Way firmly established Lenny Kravitz as a major rock star. With the alt-rock scene at its peak in 1993, Mr. Kravitz's straight ahead rock sound stood out from the crowd. Although he has been criticized for mimicking the sounds of artists like The Beatles, Sly Stone, Led Zeppelin and others, he plays his music with reverence towards his influences. He takes those sounds and makes them his own. The title track opens the album up and it is a cacophony of wicked guitar riffs, sledgehammer drums, pulsating bass and powerhouse vocals. A truly great rock song. "Believe" is an airy, mystical number while "Black Girl" is a funky come on. "Sugar" is a stellar track as "Just Be A Woman". Are You Gonna Go My Way is a top notch effort.Free Music Review: Lenny's best

This album has got it all. A little soulful rock, A dab of some baby makin' grooves, and some straight up groovy tunes that have you pressin' that re-peat button on the cd player. Lenny's best work by far, with his "91" release a close second. The prodution of each song totally suits the the tone of his voice and lyrics, alowing each song to come to life and totally set a mood. In my opinion, he is one of rock/soul top five artist, and this must have album proves it. To all the Lenny haters out there who say all Lenny does is bite off the old school, ya'll need to re-evaluate. Lenny is just a product of what he grew up on, just like every other musician out there. ALL MUSIC HAS ROOTS! So, dont knock the if you dont feel him, the music is probably not for you.Free Music Review: One of the best Rock albums of the year

Lenny Kravitz follows up wildly successful multi platinum "Mama Said" with this chart scorcher that is sure to please anyone from the hard core metal junkie to the light reggae listener. It has sweet ballads crooned with Kravitz's soul searching tenor (Black Girl) as well as ear pounding guitar riffs (Are You Gonna Go My Way). He covers the emotional gambit along with a mind boggling array of instruments and recording techniques. He produces and writes almost all 11 tracks with help from members of his band Craig Ross and musical associate Henry Hirsh. He garnered many award nominations for this album and is virtually guaranteed future musical success with the unbelievable amount of vocal, musical and lyrical talent that he possesses.Free Music Review: Best album of the 1990s

...P>Lenny Kravitz has the amazing ability to take elements of 60s and 70s rock and make them sound completely modern. There is no Jimi Hendrix imitation on "Are You Gonna Go My Way." Kravitz and his musicians have no aspirations of being Hendrix...they KNOW there's only one. Some of the songs are driving and loud, others are soft and sweet, and Heaven Help is simply gorgeous. I bought this album as soon as it came out in the spring of 1993 and it has traveled with me everywhere I've gone. Whether I'm on a plane, train, long car journey, I can pop in this CD and know that I'll be entertained by an absolutely perfect rock album. They are truly few and far between, and this one is a masterpiece.Free Music Review: Believe.

I think Are You Gonna Go My Way (AYGGMW) marked the turning point in Lenny's career. That point where he began to be taken seriously. I'm reviewing this cd because I feel that it, like his other four cds, is a classic recording. The hits "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and "Believe" are here plus great non-hits like "Eleutheria", "Come On And Love Me", "Heaven Help" and "Just Be A Woman." While AYGGMW may not be Lenny's most experimental recording, it is a rock and soul album that should find its way into your rock collection. A must have for any rock collector.
