Customer Reviews Now that's more like it! It just goes to prove that you can't keep a great band down! . The Elements get their groove back on this one for sure! After their lowest point on "Electric Universe" and later albums that were better but still not up to EWF standards, this was a triumph! Everything that made EWF the greatest R&B band of all time, the deep lyricism and the top notch musicianship (especially the much missed horn section) in addition to Phillip Bailey & Maurice White's never disappointing vocals are back and as outstanding as ever! You get it all on this one, mellow mid to up tempo (Sunday Morning, Bloodbrothers, L Is The Word), soothing ballads (Spend The Night, Love Across The Wire), and slamming funk (Superhero). EWF is the greatest band of all time This is one of my favorite all time albums . . . got it in the early 90's. this is one CD that I wore out. every tune is a keeper. It has a very autobiograpical feel to it. Specially Chicago blues and Blood brothers. A very solid album. I'd buy it again. Making Sense Of Millennium The funk tracks (and there are many) are good even if they tend to be very hyperactive but it's the album's more unusual moments that catch fire 'Sunday Morning' and 'Honor The Magic' are the standouts to me,as is the lilting 'Divine'-the latter two have a new slinky sexuallity not even heard on EWF numbers. This is EWF's second album of the 90's and their best up to this point. 'Superhero' is penned by Prince and while being very modern and 'new' doesn't try to burry the bands own organic talents in another artists idea-Prince let EWF sound like themselfs and that,even if this is'nt even close to one of their classic albums,is very much worth it to those with more then a casual interest in the group and a MUCH needed improvement on 1990's pandering 'Heritage'. .
