Listen to the complete album at vh1.com

i'm listening to the 2nd track right now.
the first track, Minister Of Rock 'N Roll, is great. track #2 (I Dont Want To Be A Star) might grow on me.

sounds REALLY GOOD for the most part....some of it is a litttle by the numbers though, but that's Lenny and I end up liking most of his stuff in the end anyway.

you can listen to the whole album at vh1.com

So I assume you are not that impressed

yeah, i tried to put it mildly, but you read between the lines, eh?

Who's pimpin who?

is it just me, or does Lenny sound depressed?
lo ciento, papi.
you'll never be Prince.

and am I the only one here that sees the correlation between "Sistamamalover" and "Friend Lover Sister Mother/Wife"?

I don't know, I'm not too impressed. It sounds like the poor man's version of Circus (which I loved). But it also reminds me of his last album a lot, in that half of the songs are decent, and the other half are pretty unexciting filler. Maybe it will sound better in the CD player with multiple listens, but the excitement in his sound and passion in his songwriting is not quite there anymore. I wish he had stuck with the "Funk" album concept, because I think it would've served him better than to play the 70s rockstar role yet again....

I dunno, Its not that hot.. I just got the album and its just sounds like sounds that are already been made by artists before him.. I think Prince really recognized that his sounds are nothing but derived from his peers.. Does Lenny have his own sound anyway?
