Lenny Kravitz
1/5
Track 1 is boring. Track 2, is what we all came for but, after collecting dust for 30+ years, it's boring too. A little Hey Jude vibe that goes absolutely fucking nowhere. Speaking of going nowhere, track 3 careens straight into a dead end and the driver just walks away pretending like repeating the song's title over and over again is something. Track 4 is a half-baked soul slow jam with stupid fucking lyrics that are just a half-step above gibberish, but hey, there are horns! This song should have been done at the 3 minute mark. Track 5 is a half-assed fusion between funk and late-era Beatles with more idiotic rhyming ("we'll make love in the shade / and in the ocean we will bathe"). Speaking of idiotic lyrics, "teached" is not a word and, no you cannot take poetic license for using it to fit the meter and rhyme. Fuck you Lenny, you haven't earned that right. Track 6 starts out a little funky but is just all over the place with its message, (fear is.... Bad?) pick a more focused topic for chrissakes. Track 7 is called "Does Anybody Out There Even Care?" I'm going to employ Betteridge's law of headlines here and say "no." Track 8 - Lenny couldn't catch a cab once because he's black so he wrote a song about it. 5 stars. Track 9 - again with the middle school first draft lyrics. Jesus is this record almost over yet? Track 10 contains the lyric "Am I rapist who needs release?" which he sings in a weird overdriven way which just draws attention to the horribleness of the question. Did I accidentally listen to the CD bonus tracks? Yes I did and I am fucking furious about it.
