Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Lenny Kravitz Photos
More from Lenny Kravitz
Amazon.com: When Lenny Kravitz made his debut album, he was known in select circles as the pierced, tattooed love boy of Lisa Bonet, the actress then riding high with a starring role on The Cosby Show. Kravitz turned out to be an artist in his own right, and a talented musician who wrote, produced, and played nearly all the instruments on Let Love Rule. He seems to know precisely what he wants to say on this album; trouble is, it's all been said before, by the likes of Prince, John Lennon, and Sly Stone. There is skill and craft at work here, but genuine inspiration is another matter. The thick patchouli scent around songs such as "I Build This Garden for Us," "Flower Child," and the title track is nearly suffocating, while the would-be protest anthem "Mr. Cab Driver" is rather undercooked. Overall, Kravitz's groovy love-generation vibe makes him rock's answer to Austin Powers. --Daniel Durchholz Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Simply AwesomeJust pure honest rock n roll brimming with passion. The title track is just stunning. I Built This Garden For Us is another standout track. Although much of the music is hard rock there are some nice softer toned pieces like Sitting On Top of the World. Much commentary about the prejudice Mr. Kravitz as faced. Just listen to Does Anybody Really Care?, Fear, and Mr. Cab Driver. An awesome debut on all levels. Rating:  - The Next Generation of the Minneapolis SoundThe 1980s saw the rise of a new subgenre of pop music known as the "Minneapolis Sound". The "Minneapolis Sound" contained a mixture of Funk, Pop, R&B, and Rock. The artist that is considered one of the leading architects of this sound was Prince. When Prince formed his own record label - "Paisley Park", many of the artists that Prince recruited for that label or artists that Prince mentored were considered a part of the "Minneapolis Sound". As the 1980s came to a close, many of the artists associated with Paisley Park began to struggle both commercially and critically. However the "Minneapolis Sound" had made its lasting imprint on the music industry. It would pave the way for a whole new generation of artists going into the 1990s. ...

But, based on that I'd have to say this is my favorite album by him. I got this like 9 years ago and the CD is still in 50 -disk CD changer. Other ones come and go but this one always stay. I'm reviewing it right now because it actually just came around on my stereo again. This CD doesn't have fancy funky bass or good electronica like the newer Lenny. It has raw Lenny with feeling. The tracks just never get old. The lyrics to all the songs have a very hippy progressive fight the power feel to them and when Lenny sings them, he puts just the right emotion into them. The slower songs are very soulful and the faster songs are exciting, ... Read More: Rating:  - IT'S LENNYAnother reviewer said "He seems to know precisely what he wants to say on this album; trouble is, it's all been said before." My response to that is this, how many rock bands out there today are doing something that HASN'T been done before? How many rock bands are actually unique and different? We all know the REAl answer is NOT MANY! If I only purchased CDs of artists or bands who are doing something that hasn't been done before then I wouldn't have the chance to buy many CDs. NIRVANA, for all their popularity, were doing NOTHING new. Sorry folks, calling it Grunge did not make it new. Same with Pearl Jam. If you like Lenny, get the CD and make up your own mind. If you don't like Lenny then it doesn't matter how original he may or may not ...

I'm still a fan now, but I was obsessed with this debut and "Mama Said". He was even my first concert ever, though he opened for Tom Petty. Anyway, front to back this is one of his best, and he shows us right away that he can rock, and drop a nice slow song as well. After the title track, I especially like "I Built This Garden For Us", "Rosemary", "My Precious Love", and "Blues For Sister Someone". We also get a dose of spirituality on a few songs, like on the great "Empty Hands". I also own the LP of this, but it only has the first 10 tracks, so watch out for that. Much like The Black Crowes, Lenny wears his influences on his sleeve, but I wouldn't want it any ... Read More: |
