Kravitz often comes across as a musician who's so meticulous about getting that vintage sound that he forgets to be inspired. That meticulousness can end up making the production just a little too slick. To complicate matters, he's heavy on catchy riffs and anthemic choruses, while often light on lyrics and adventurousness.
Personally, I think the single, "I'll Be Waiting," is one of the weaker tracks on the album, although it is representative of his sound. I would much sooner take the title song, or "Bring It On," "If You Want It," "I Love the Rain," or "Dancin' Til Dawn" with its smoking sax solo.
Once you get past the almost-precious trappings of the sound, you'll notice how much Kravitz is enjoying himself. And on those tracks I mentioned above, it's infectious. He slips through Southern fried rock, AOR, The Strokes, and Tattoo You-era Stones, and you have to admire his enthusiasm for the charm of rock n' roll in its many incarnations. The filler tracks kinda stand out for what they are, though.

So I'm walking through the store and something catches my eye as I'm heading out the door. Lenny Kravitz has a new CD? I missed the release date by about a month but I picked it up without previously hearing a track. Lenny kicks it quickly with the title track and keeps it pressed with Bring It On. I still can't quite figure out the meandering "Good Morning" but it mercifully gave way to "Love Love Love" which is seemingly built on just two chords but is classic Kravitz. Things slow down a bit until we find a most funky proposal "Will You Marry Me". LK even lobs in a dance track. At the end we find a couple anti-war tracks which really isn't much of a surprise.
Lenny brings the soul we expect, the rock we know, and the funk he is so capable of all wrapped in his trademark retro style--not overproduced.
Free Music Review: A strong effort from Lenny.
Hit: 4 Stars
I have never been a real fan of Lenny Kravitz, but I really enjoyed this latest album of his. The album really is a love revolution. The first half of the album is Lenny in love and happy. He sounds like a man in love and a couple times like a born again Christian with references to God and Jesus. The second half of the album is a man in love but dealing with the pain of that love. In a couple songs, the pain of being distant from family that he loves. The lyrics are deep and thoughtful, and I found myself connecting with Lenny's music as he took me on a journey through his love revolution.
The sound reminds me of late sixties early seventies rock.

As with all Lenny albums,there are the trademark rockers and ballads. This one follows the formula and joins his other past releases as a keeper. Sure, all the albums weren't great,but each album has "that song".With this effort,Love Revolution,Good Morning,Love Love Love(my early fave on album),I'll Be Waiting and Back in Vietnam take the lead on a solid album,beg. to end.So,if you have enjoyed all his efforts,this one shouldn't disappoint at all. Go get it now and rock on!!!! A solid 4.5 for cool rock n Roll!!!Free Music Review: Return to groove driven heavy rock tunes!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is Lenny coming back to simple stripped down heavy retro funk blues rock once more. There are some fine tunes on this album, great heavy funk riffs, the Hendrix influence coming out, the Prince influence. But it is still Lenny's work, his songs and his guitar riffs. great album when many rock bands now are just confused or scare of simply rocking out and having a good time.
