Reviews (page 13 of 13)

This album was OK. I thought the songs with the "skits" would have been better without the "skits." Also, the jibberish Spanish was weird.

As if I haven't heard enough funk already, being apart of the school's band council!

Cool, funky, but songs got boring and repetitive quickly.

nice, but to much la la la la la~~~

There is that one fairly funky Stevie Wonder album on the list, which I enjoyed. There is also this, which is Stevie Wonder as I originally got to know him - the somewhat schmalzy adult contemporary singer of ballads and writer of songs that don't quite want to make you dance, and all sound vaguely similar and familiar. I have much more time for funky Stevie than I do for schmalzy Stevie.

A couple songs I like okay...the rest is just meh.

nao curto disto

Stevie has a nice voice but the songs are kind of uninteresting

Quite dull this one - I definitely won’t listen to it again

Groovy and short and sweet. I liked some songs more than others.

Nothing wrong with it, but not for me. Couple good ones.

I really wasn’t a fan of this album. It was a little dry for me, which I was mildly surprised by seeing I like a lot of Stevie’s songs.

I like the guitar in Visions. Only on song 2, but not feeling much towards this album yet. First decent song on this album was High Ground. A very meh album to me.

Similar level of tone to me like CCR, but not popping out for me. Felt a little flat but an influential albums don't need to be so popping out. Some nice consistent beats to it.

Didn't like this one as much as Songs In The Key Of Life, really only enjoyed the singles - Living for the City & Higher Ground

The first half is super boring, the second half is ok

Not for me

Underwhelming and very forgettable

This finally cements that I just don’t care for Stevie Wonder. I love funk, soul and jazz but I just don’t understand the appeal of Stevie. There are moments of funkiness I enjoy (“Too high” is a standout here), but in general it’s a bore. With Stevies annoying wailing as a cherry on top.

There were a few decent songs in here, but over all not really my thing. I could've done with less singing. 2.5/5

Stevie Wonder is awesome but I just cant get into his music. I enjoy his hits but for me his albums as a peice are a miss. Favourite song: Nothing stood out Least favourite: Visions, really dull song. Album artwork: OK

I'm sure this is amazing but it's not for me

Good little album to bop to, nothing jumps out at me

Not for me

Did not like this at all

Mäßig interessanter progressive Soul.

I didn't love it! 😫 Please don't kick me out.

naja??

Stevie is an inspiration and one of the greatest musicians to ever live. Still, this album is not my cup of tea.

I didn't mind most of the songs on this album. I wasn't a fan of the synth in Living for the city, but the rest was ok. Good to hear it as a full album, but probably won't relisten - I'm just not very funky! Fave track: Don't you worry about a thing

Expected more of stevie

It's not bad. Innervisions and Living For The City were an absolute vibe. I guess other people didn't feel it as much since not so many plays. In comparison, the highest played one, Higher Ground, was definitely upbeat/quick, but kinda meh in comparison to Innervisions and Living For The City for me. Overall a good album, just wasn't that exciting to listen to. Maybe its baseline is even 3, but my standards probably just went up honestly. Maybe Tigermilk should be a 0, then Dusty could be 2, Arrival could be a 1, and this could be a 2 right along Dusty. Could be.

It's strange - I deeply respect Stevie Wonder as a musician, but at the same time I cannot get into his music. Like, at all. It's not that this album is bad objectively. But sadly, the music does nothing for me. 2/5

Some nice songs wrapped up in between pretty ordinary tracks. Ultimately, I can't say I got along with this particular album's sound.

It had a really calming vibe but tbh I wouldn't listen to it again it wasn't really my cup of tea

meeeeeh. there's so much going on here that I don't know what the hell is going on.

Pure funk, no overlap with jazz or soul, just funk. The first song and higher ground are basically rock riffs but played on funk bass, enjoyed both. The genre and album as a whole isn't really my thing and I was tiring of it by the time it ended.

Solid album, just couldn't get into more than a handful of songs. 2.5/5

It's not bad music, and I can see why he's popular, but I wouldn't actively listen to this.

Meh. I'm beginning to think I'm not a SW fan.

Pretty meh the whole way through. Too one-note and simplistic.

Some good famous tracks, but the rest really wasn't up to much.

I’m had to wait until track 5 (Higher Ground) before I started to enjoy this, then found the rest of the album absolutely fine! Not my thing, but quite a pleasant Sunday morning listen.

It's genuinely just not my thing, sorry. Felt a lot like listening to elevator music. The whole album just went by.

Golden Lady is not too bad. I think I liked some other song too but I can't remember which one

Not for me

Creative for sure. Too smooth for my taste though.

Pretty lame Only one good song (higher ground) and I've heard many better covers of that

Meh. Not as good as yesterday's

It's a no from me dawg

I’m going to use this review to ask all you lame dorks who say, “Not my cup of tea” shit the fuck up! Such a lame review, if you do this, please stop. If you plan to keep doing this, maybe don’t instead. This album was fine 2.5 stars I guess

I do love his voice, but the music itself is a bit boring for me. Also, Red Hot Chili Peppers' version of higher ground is way better in my opinion.

At first I was excited, then realized how boring this was. Until the final act, then I was dancing in my seat and singing along.

Cover art: like the painting. However the album is only ok. Start is a bit wishy washy jazz. Couple of good tunes.

A bit boring

Half gedraaid en helemaal genegeerd!

Iets teveel Stevie deze week

Thought it would have a harder edge. Not uninteresting but couldn’t stay focused.

Vond ik niet direct mijn ding

2, I see the appeal

J'aurais voulu aimer plus cet album. La pochette est cool et Higher Ground est une bonne chanson qui groove pas mal. Je sais qu'on dit que les textes de l'album sont la force de cet album, mais la musique ne me parle pas. L'harmonica joué par un clavier est vraiment désagréable. La production est quand même bonne par contre, mais je crois qu'il y a d'autres albums de Stevie Wonder que j'aime plus dans leur ensemble. Je vais par contre probablement me risquer à le réécouter voir si je capte autre chose. Pièces préférées: Higher Ground, Living For The City, Too High, Jesus Children Of America

Pretty good slice of Motown.

Too slow

A little boring, honestly. Highlights: Visions, Higher Ground.

Not quite my tempo

Surprisingly poor and mundane.

Another OK Stevie Wonder album. I really like Stevie's singles, but the album is a ton of filler. His Greatest Hits comp is really great though. 2/5

couldn't get into it

Apparently it's a pretty funky week. But in the surprise of the week, Thundercat's funk blows Little Stevie out of the water. "Higher Ground" is amazing, and "Living For the City" and "Golden Lady" (Betty White?) are pretty good too, and I was pleasantly surprised that "Too High" was actually about getting high. But the rest was just way too boring.

Boring

No no no I don't like this type of music at all god damn it

boring

Good album.

really thought I would like this the most, just go very bored and nothing stuck with me at all

Just don't like stevie wonder, tried to listen all the way through but there is something I just don't like.

I dont like it

Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi dvica jer me iritira njegov glas i jedino ok je bas ali je i to previše wah wah u prosjeku.

number of songs on album: 9 songs i liked: 2; visions and all in love is fair i added them to my liked songs playlist, ill listen to them more to see if they grow on me. but the album is not really a genre i typically enjoy. i can see why people enjoy it though, just not for me personally. 1.5/5

2.5/10. This isnt my style of music but it is clear that Stevie is very good. Very good groove. Very good feel. Good production.

Stevie zum zweiten wieder tolles cover, das ging schnell, aber nichts hängengeblieben...c

Boring.

My knowledge of Stevie Wonder has always been when there's like a big musical tribute or massive super band jam on a late nigtht show or awards broadcast and they introduce everyone and then, finally, they announce Stevie Wonder and everyone goes crazy and all the musicians are bowing and grateful...and then he really doesn't bring anything special to the mix. I'll admit that there's good instrumentation here and it's the grittiest I've ever heard Stevie's voice go but I just can't get into it. I'm sure this is my own fault but, whatever the reason, I just don't enjoy Stevie's music. Sorry man.

mostly a funk overload. this isn't my thing and as I felt a sense irritation I couldn't wait for it to be over. one star is extremely generous

Stevie is great. Not my fav album tho

che strazio

I wish he was born mute instead.

ok, so this may be controversial but this album gave me hives. i actually feel sick listening to this, he has such a gross gross voice, i can’t finish this. it gives me heebie jeebies. and now the song about jesus loving children? this guy is a freak, i just know it, i hate this whole album. yuck.

1. high - 1 2. vizionz - 1.5 3. city - 1.5 4. lady - 1 5. ground - 1.5 6. america - 1 7. love - 2 8. thing - 1 9. knouu - 1

Ein rotes Tuch für mich, aber die Platte war nicht so schlimm wie erwartet.

Nicht meine Richtung

To funky.

Deff no. I’m tired of all this 70’s crap. This system just won’t switch. I’m about to be done with it.

Couldn't ever take to his voice or music Automatic 1

Sorry, this is not ranking high for me. Boring to my untrained musical ear!

I just don’t like Stevie Wonder’s music. Not sure if it’s the harmonica, the jazz undertones, the voice, the electric organ, the “on hold music” vibes, the constant minor chords or all of the above.

Just not good, didnt finish

Whilst I respect his general talent and appreciate how special Stevie Wonder is, I thought this was pretty awful. Best song - golden lady

Didn't connect with this album at all. I can appreciate the political undercurrents and overtones but honestly it just didn't really resonate with me. The chorus of Too High walked so Jacob Collier (and Bill Wurtz) could run I get what Living For The City was trying to do but I don't think it stuck the landing Jesus Children of America was a flop Golden Lady and Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing were pretty good, and I wanted to like All In Love Is Fair but just couldn't I think my first 1* album of the project? And I thought I'd like it as I really like the best of Stevie. Slightly sad but there are many many more

Nope! Didn't do it for me at all 1

Living for the City, Higher Ground, & Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing are up there with the best of Stevie Wonder. I also really like All in Love is Fair. Didn't even remember that was a Stevie Wonder song; it always sounded like a hit from a Broadway musical to me. I could listen to any of this music on the radio & enjoy it all, but it's not my favorite genre.

Honestly kind of bored by it. It had elements that I’m sure shaped a lot of music but it felt boy-bandy and repetitive. I felt like I was supposed to focus on the lyrics then and those weren’t about anything interesting. The last song on the album had some different, interesting things going on though.

Songs in the key of snooze.

Boring
