First: I like Lenny, the guy is a stunner and LIVE has already shown that he can write songs class. But the new album? Where are the earwigs in the mold of "Fly away, it is not over, again, american woman ..."? Funk and rock were promised! Is there even in small doses. But who announces an album so full, must also be asked: Do the songs their own standards? I mean: No! Before hip DJs and "Hitlieferanten" teaming up with (supposedly), a handle in the musical magic box would certainly have been more valuable. Some bands like Mother's Finest, Earth, Wind & Fire or soloists such as Macy Gray, Prince, Warren Haynes, etc. would certainly have enjoyed if they had their musical horizons expand something can. Instead, entertains us with Lenny unsophisticated craft that has little Hitler or earwig potential to offer. A sales success is this disc certainly only be because dumping prices drag the chart placements by themselves. Fortunately, currently somewhat late summer doldrums. No competition at the start means that is bought for lack of alternatives but. One can only hope that Lenny's break sometime perhaps still pays musically. It would be nice!
