LENNY KRAVITZ'S NEW CD SUCKS!!!

THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE WORST RELEASES SINCE WILLIAM HUNG'S! CAN LENNY KRAVITZ LEARN HOW TO BE A DECENT SONGWRITER OR BETTER YET, WHEN WILL HE REALIZE THAT HE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO BE A MUSICIAN WHO LACKS ORIGINALITY?

THIS IS HORRIBLE. IN ONE CD, THE MUSIC REEKS OF JOHN LENNON, SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, KANYE WEST, AND THE RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS! AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT, WHAT'S WITH THE HAIR? HOW DO YOU GO FROM LOCS TO A PERM?

LENNY... GET WITH IT!!!

i listened to it on VH1 when they had it up for a day, and I hated it. But now that I've seen the video for Where Are We Runnin? I'm willing to give it another chance. I'm not tryin' to go out and buy it or anything, but I won't change the station when I hear it playing. shrug Somehow his crazed-rock-lifestyle-drugged-out-fiend look turns me on... mushy







I really need help...

You aint kidding; except for some semi-good riffs, the album is just awful. Like the dude never heard Hendrix in his life. And you would think he would stop imitating 70's rock artists by now. He sounds like he is just ripping off second rate Stones material.

And how mealy mouthed are the ballads? Were is the soulful stuff he used to do?

This album makes Musicology look like Sergeant Peppers.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Lenny has souled out. I think that perm seeped into his brain and zapped his talent because this CD is fucking horrible. He should have just stayed with that "Funk" CD and left well hell alone.

I hope he gets his shit together. I got the piece of shit CD for free.

Funny because the one song I thought I'd hate, Storm w/Jay Z, is one of only two I can stand. The other is Sistamamalover. Very poor album over all.

yeah i like these two songs and minister of rock n roll, and baptism. everything else i skip. I have a little personal rule for myself, if u can listen to at least 3 songs or more on an album, its not a total failure. i just try to listen to the ones i know i always end up skipping just to listen to what he is talking about but to be honest, it sounds as if he is going through something, again. Hmm who knows....

but what i don't understand is why he felt the need for jay-z to spit on his song? What was the point of that, that song is good, but it wouldn't have hurt for him to leave jay off. i luv jay and all but damn, why lenny?
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Damn, this review is so intelligent. It almost makes me want to take my CD back it's such a well-written review....but then, I realise I can't and I won't because YOU'RE WRONG. The album is very good, so shut it.

Is it his best? NO! Does it lack the kinda fire Lenny can bring to his songs? I'd say so. Does it suck? Probably not. What I find funny is; whether these "scathing" reviews are from true fans of Lenny,or haters? I would think if you're a fan, you know by now,as with other "unnamed" artists, that not every album is gonna be great. At the very least it'll probably be a bit different than you expected it to be. If you're a Lenny hater...why bother with the album (cd), in the first place??? Some people just get off on tearing others down, I guess...?
