Summary: Keep it coming
Comment: This album does not disappoint. This is true Lenny. The new religious Lenny is still cranking out kicking tunes. And again he pays tribute to a parent.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I was really looking forward to this cd. However, I was so disappointed when I listened to it. I thought Lenny might have gone back to playing instruments, but that is not the case. It does not have the sound that his older stuff does. Needless to say I do not listne to it.

Summary: lenny's new rev
Comment: this was my first purchase of anything lenny kravitz (or any rock artist for that matter) and overall it is a nice, easy listening/flowing cd and i made this purchase after hearing him sing one tune from the cd on "good morning america"....very uncommon for a longtime r&b listener.

"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
