Deluxe edition includes a rare up close and personal documentary of Lenny as never seen before. Watch as he takes you on a journey through the streets of his beloved hometown, New York City, discussing the many inspirations and decisions that led to the creation of his 8th studio album.
"We've all got our voice. And if I have this gift to play music, then I'm gonna talk about love," Lenny Kravitz says in a YouTube promo for his eighth studio album. Understood. Got it. The fact, though, is that Kravitz could be singing about old tires or bowling shoes in these songs and it wouldn't much matter, because in the basest and most primal way possible, they rock. Opener "Love Revolution" busts out a vibe that lingers, with Lenny barking a credo--clearly in his old-school element as drums pound and guitars get abused--and loving it. Breaks come in the form of quieter songs like the Beatles-esque chill-pill "Good Morning" and the vintage Queen-like "A Long and Sad Goodbye," but the mission of Love Revolution is mostly to move the masses. And that it shall: fists will pump, feet will stomp, and attitudes will be copped. As listeners flip through the track list and discern influences as far-flung as James Brown, the Black Crowes, and Jimi Hendrix, they will feel not disdain for the lack of ingenuity but appreciation for the good sense Kravitz shows in following those artists' leads. In jumbling them up and making them his own, he proves that love revolutions need not be tame. They can be fierce. The best evidence arrives two tracks in: though "Bring It On" features the soothing sitar of Anishka Shankar, it bashes its way through the speakers as though fueled by kryptonite. It is bad-ass, in a word. And so is this album. --Tammy La Gorce

I got this at a good price & was not disappointed. Some tracks are excellent, some not so much. Maybe greatest hits would be better. If he really wants to be like The Beatles, he needs to make make every track of consistent quality.

Lenny Kravitz is amazingly talented but unfortunately, his track record is spotty and his albums often hit or miss. Though this was lauded by critics, there's a reason it didn't go anywhere commercially. With often ridiculously amateurish lyrics and paper-thin songs that lack melody and structure, this often sounds more like a geeky teenager's demo than a polished rock star of his stature. With the exception of one or two songs, the tracks simply don't make a strong impression, unless you're a fan of christian rock or want to relive your Led Zeppelin days. Stick to his "Best of", a true winner.

This album is great. If you're a Lenny fan then don't miss this one. You'll love it. I hope Lenny plays some shows in the USA soon. I can't wait to hear some of this material live. He's touring everywhere around the world. No USA dates so far. Bottom line: buy this album.
