This album is like a freight train compared to Musuckology i loved the songs when he performed them live..but on wax they just like excitement...its too mellow and devoid of emotional weight for me. yes, the album at least attempts artistic credibility and vision and for that i have respect for it but what he did to Everlasting Now live is how Everlasting Now should have sounded on the album. IMHO. Lacks emotional weight? Are we talking about the same album here? True there are mellow songs on there-- and even a song titled "Mellow" but songs like Family Name, Everlasting Now,and The Work are anything but that. In fact, this album is closer to the live experience than his vaunted 80's output. Just admit it's the tone and the message you don't care for. | |

Not true. "Mellow" is all about sex. "Wet circles around the toy, while U bring yourself 2 joy", "Where U wanna eat 2night? know this dope spot called '1 another'". Not even ambiguous! Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
