Free Music Notes for Fulfillingness' First Finale
Free Music Review: Not his best, but certainly not his worse....
Hit: 5 Stars
Even a not so great Stevie Wonder album in comparison to other artist is a masterpiece. This isn't my favorite Stevie album maybe because of the last half of the album. "Too Shy to Say" and "Boogie on Reggae Woman" are great songs, as are others on here. But they all come during the first half. Again though, even a not so great Stevie album is a great album compared to other artists. So even the second half of the album isn't bad. I just tend to skip more of the last few songs than listen to them. I still say "Talking Book" is his best album or "Songs in the Key of Life" A lot of people love this one as much as the others, just not me though. It's just missing something. I still consider this in his top 4 best albums. With "Music of My Mind" fifth.Free Music Review: One of Stevie Wonder's many classic albums

This is a very moody album. Even "Smile Please", which you'd expect by the title to be this all-out joyous funfest like "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", has a hint of melancholy. To say nothing of the really melancholy songs: the spiritual "Heaven is Ten Zillion Light Years Away"; the emotional "They Won't Go When I Go"; eerie love song "Creepin'" - two of the three songs concern death. Hell, even the funk-a-thon "You Haven't Done Nothin'" is a tirade against Nixon - it was a hit, and it's catchy, danceable, smart and easily a highlight, but I can't shake the nagging feeling that it sounds like "Superstition". Then again, "Superstition" laid the groundwork for all of Stevie's funk-a-thons, so maybe that's a moot point. Wonder's only genuinely happy in a couple spots: the reggae-funk hybrid "Boogie on Reggae Woman", a massive hit and it's a damn good time; the lovely "Bird of Beauty", and "Please Don't Go", with full choir singing backups. Not that I'm saying the only Stevie is joyous Stevie - come on, I gave Innervisions five stars! And the darker songs are among the best: "Creepin'" is my favorite outside of "Boogie On"; "Heaven" has interesting keyboards; "They Won't Go" is, like "All in Love is Tony Blair", therapeutically cathartic. I think the spacey "Too Shy to Say" is a bore, but that's it: this is another of Stevie's best. Free Music Review: An almost spiritual experience
Hit: 5 Stars
The only thing new that I could possibly add to any forum regarding this phenomenal piece of musical artistry is that whenever I put it on, I experience something that goes way beyond listening pleasure. Listening to this CD, from beginning to end, is for me, almost like a spiritual experience. I find it spiritually healing. It's restful and uplifting all at the same time. Each song picks me up in a soothing emotional embrace and carries me like a newborn baby on to the next one, right till the end of the CD, when I wake up from my trance and wonder where all the time went.
Stevie Wonder doesn't have many peers but I will forever be in awe of him and his small group of fellow legends whose music is still relevant, still vibrant, still totally engaging, well over 30 years after it was first made.
Absolutely beautiful. Five stars are nowhere near enough.

This is the greatest effort that Stevie has ever produced. It is a masterpiece in Soul, R&B and Funk all tied into one nice package. If you haven't heard this You Haven't Heard Nothing. So Boogie on Raggae Women.
