Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Lenny Kravitz Photos
More from Lenny Kravitz
Amazon.com: The irony of Are You Gonna Go My Way is that, by the release of his third album, Lenny Kravitz had finally started internalizing the influences of his musical heroes--Curtis Mayfield, Prince, John Lennon, and Sly Stone--who had been so nakedly copped on Let Love Rule and Mama Said. So what becomes the album's big hit? The title track, a Jimi Hendrix rip-off if there ever was one. Kravitz backslides elsewhere, too: "Is There Any Love in Your Heart" is plainly drawn from Led Zeppelin and "Eleutheria" from Bob Marley, while "Believe" takes a more inventive approach--its chorus is in the style of the Beatles, while the verses and guitar solo again recall Led Zep. What's especially damning about the album though, is that the more Kravitz strikes out on his own, the more lackluster his songs become, evidenced by the dippy come-on "Black Girl" and the weak psychedelia of "My Love." --Daniel Durchholz Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Kravitz Emerges as a Premier ArtistIn the mid 1990s, I heard a concert promotion radio ad that was basically introducing the performer to be "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Star". When they announced that star to be Lenny Kravitz, I must admit, I nearly drove off the road when I heard that. I had realized Kravitz had some commercial success and had a nice following, but "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Star"? - come on! However, now about a decade later, as I have begun to get a deeper appreciation for what Rock music has to offer, I now realize that perhaps there is some real merit to that radio ad. I'm still not ready to put Kravitz up there with the upper echelon of Rock with the Paul McCartneys, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteens, or even Billy Joels - ...

Everyone disses this album because he sounds like Hendrix here, Zeppelin there, Beatles over there. Who cares? Is it great music? Indeed. Will it change the music world? No, but he's not trying to change the music world -- only make some good music for people who enjoy it. Kravitz never claimed to be an innovator. At least Kravitz is trying to make a "classic" album as opposed to a one or two singels and a bunch of filler -- or a dated 90s alt album that has no shelf life. This is one of those perfect summer albums that is ideal for the lazy, hazy days of summer. It amazes me now to look at my 90s collection and see stacks and stacks of CDs that I have no desire ...

Let me know when you're stranded on an island and I'll send this CD to you in a bottle....and again, I'm not even a Kravitz fan....don't listen to the main reviewer. Rating: - 5-STAR ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GREAT ALBUM FROM START TILL FINISH I HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ALL THE SONGS ARE GREAT. I REALLY DIDNT PAY LENNY ATTENTION UNTIL ONE OF MY HAD HIS CD IN THEIR CD BOOKLET AND SAID LET ME BORROW THAT CD AND SEE IF I LIKE IT OR NOT AND IT TURNED OUT THAT I DID SO BROUGHT ALL HIS OTHER MATERIAL WHICH IS EQUALLY ENJOYABLE AND EVERY SINCE I'VE BEENING JAMMING TO HIS ALBUM. Rating: - Weird looks at LennyIt's hard to follow lenny album to album only to see people mentioning his abundant influences in a bad way. Lenny sounds like zeppelin, lenny sounds like lennon, lenny sounds like mayfield. There are so many bands and artists out there who do the same, in my opinion with less personal flare, and enthusiasm, but which are welcomed or even praised for it. Lenny is in a way like the kid in highschool who always gets frowned on for doing something even though he did the same thing that another kid was or will be welcomed for doing. Poor lenny, it makes me feel bad for him. Because he really is a talented artist, as it can be seen in "let love rule" and "mama said", and even here, and it makes me wonder where he could have gone if he ... Read More: |
