Free Music Review: Sensitive and Dark. Welcome to the Picture Show.
Hit: 5 Stars

The beginning thoughtful rant of "Rock And Roll is Dead" is a great mix of that awesome guitar style along with a rocking drumbeat. The next single is another dark focus on life called "Circus", making the world seem like a gloomy sideshow. This is dark introspective rock and another 180 from "Let Love Rule". Despondent rock it's at finest with lighter alternative sounds. The next two great essentials are softer. The light country meets pop combo of "Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind" is one of his nice lost hits that really oozes love. Perhaps it's another attempt at Lisa Bonet or just lusting over a new girl. My favorite track wasn't a single at all but a cleaver commentary on young girl's thriving for fame in "Magdalene". This is a rocky midtempo number his most sharp and honest lyrics about a third party. Lenny can really do story telling and this proves it.

On top of all the moody rock tunes that make you think, there are a lot of religiously focused songs on this album. From the blatant "God Is Love" with a techno quality, not to mention big rock of "Beyond The Seventh Sky" to light acoustics of "Resurrection". This is a very soulful album although not in sound. The simple compositions with rock sounds are his most creative ever. It's not the easiest sell, but I think that it will be enjoyed by those with an open mind for new kinds of rock, not to mention deep thoughts.
