Seal #IV

I so was hoping for a return to form...This album makes Human Being feel organic...

What the heck is going on?

Its a sad day when you buy a used EP from Sinead O'Conner and its better...Someone please kill Trevor Horn and give Seal some new inspiration!!


btw: Damn Sinead's Gospel Oak is great!!

I didn't even know that it was due out this week!!!

Is it really that bad?

I don't own any of his albums at the mo (his first two went erm...missing) but was planning on getting them again along with Human Being and the latest. I probably won't bother now.

Wow...dismiss me huh? Thats a tad rude...Disagreement is cool though, if done with tact...


Cloudbuster,

I wouldnt say the album is a complete failure...Its nice..but its missing something...The songwriting lacks the great metephors and vitality...Yes, its a Seal album and his voice is always nice to listen to...

I would say this was Seal's Graffiti Bridge...Not a return to form, but not an excellent display of his talents...

Seal IS far from organic. Go back and listen to the first CD - it's like soul meets NIN. I was afraid he'd be redoing Kiss From A Rose for the rest of his life. I hope the new album has the same electronica kind of feel as that first wrecka.

don't mean organic in the sense of instrumentation..More like his first two albums had a natural flow...his vocals didn't seem forced and overprocessed and dubbed...Even with all the production they worked and sounded cohesive and natural..Human Being on the otherhand came across as forced IMHO...Some great lyrics and melodies couldn't compensate for the staleness...But this album, which has greater use of acoustic instruments, still comes off sounding lazy and forced...



work it out edit!!!

I have Seal's 1st 2 albums...love both of 'em. Didn't like the last one. Do you guys think its anywhere near as good as the 1st 2 or is it more like #3?
