Having had a chance to listen to Lenny Kravitz's new album, "It Is Time For a Love Revolution", I felt as if I were listening to the Lenny I've always known. This isn't necessarily a bad thing...no, more so, it's a indifferent thing. I wasn't unimpressed, but more importantly, I wasn't impressed. His sound was awesome back in the 90's, and from time to time I still crank up the “Let love rule” and similar tracks, but I can tell you that this won't be one of the albums I pull of the shelf, dust off, and listen to from beginning to end while friends are over. It offers nothing that the rest of his albums haven't already offered...at least artistically. With all that negativity said, it's not a “bad album” and if I had not already experienced Lenny back in his prime, I might be inclined to listen to this one more often. In short if you're a die hard Lenny fan, you gotta buy it, but if you're like me and are constantly expecting artists that you've come to love, to have their sound evolve (ever so slightly even) as the times evolve, then you'll be somewhat disappointed.

I am waiting on that next Beck album - like Odelay -that I can listen to front to back over and over.
