Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Some artists mellow as they age; Seal enters never-surrender mode and hits the dance floor. System gets at a new way of thinking for the king of the sexy British croon--he's a little less committed to nailing the vocals here and a lot more into manufacturing a mood. Overall, it's one infused with high spirits and an almost dreamy sense of possibility: "Rolling," the only song outside of a weird duet with wife Heidi Klum ("Wedding Day") to avoid elaborate but likable synths, stands its romantic ground without settling into ho-hum balladry, while "Loaded," "Dumb," and "The Right Life" bust out of the speakers determined to raise the profile of house music and electro beats. If he cribs a vial or two of vibe from Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor,, also produced by retro whiz-kid Stuart Price, it doesn't make Seal any less appealing. Even without hits like the super-smooth "Amazing," some guys manage to be amazing just by showing up. And so it is with Seal. Even his superm! odel wife says so. --Tammy La Gorce The first studio album in four years from Seal, System, with its shimmering melodies, layers of synths and acoustic guitar, and electronic beats, is a return to my roots says the singer-songwriter. To help him deliver a more dance oriented album, what he calls a quintessential Seal album, Seal turned to Stuart Price(Madonna's Confessions On A Dance Floor and Grammy-winning remixes for No Doubt and Coldplay).

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "System" by SealI saw a review that almost made me not get this CD. It criticized Seal for not having partnered up with Travor Horn as he has in the past. But two thumbs up to Seal. And if you are a die-hard Seal fan like me, you too will enjoy listening to this CD. It's gritty, sensual and has some outstanding club beats too! Seal's soulful sounds are still in tact. He didn't need Trevor. Rating: - Marvelous return to form! "System" is one to have.A long four years since his previous album entitled "Seal IV", the British singer of modern soul returns with his fifth solo album entitled "System" and like he has explained in interviews, it marks a major return to the dance roots of his debut album. Be mindful, if you enjoyed tracks like "Tinseltown", "Get it Together" or "Love's Divine" then you might have to put those yearnings to the test as this album brings back the energy that was present on his 1991 debut self-titled classic with songs like "If It's on My Mind", "Amazing", and the atsmopheric disco of "The Right Life". Many have expressed negative views on "Wedding Day" which featured the suprise duet with his wife, Heidi Klum. Though I was somewhat like "Huh?" when I saw the note, ... Read More: Rating: - HIGH ENERGYLet's face it this is not a typical Seal CD. Its a high energy version. All great songs, Yes, some people might say that all the songs sound the same. I like the fact that they do because instead of having a fast song, then a slow one..etc....the songs are fast paced, fantastic songs after one another. I can't get enough! Seal is addictive! Rating: - Feel the PowerThe first thing that catches you about the album is Seal's energy. This is an impressively upbeat soaring album, where Seal's "Amazing" says it all. After his first two epic releases, I lost interest and left Seal on the shelf. Seal's third album saw him going into more complex territory which I avoided, but fast forward a few years later and SYSTEM showcases Seal stepping out in full club mode, and providing great continuity between the singer's past and present. Well written and integrated, my only complaint is that a couple of tracks sound more similar than they should. Even his duet with wife Heidi Klum sounds cool - hardly a John Lennon-Yoko Ono travesty. Great production. Rating: - System of an "Up".U can't really go wrong with Seal. His voice is one of the most unique sounds for male music artists. His music, lyrics and voice are worldly and uplifting, taking you to a positive realm of escapism which is what music is supposed to do. I love how "System" is an upbeat dance offering, which in my oppinion is when Seal is at his best. I even thought his wife, Heidi Kluum sounded great on his song "Wedding", her voice works for this type of music. this is a fantastic cd to listen to in your car, it's great drivin' music, and is a good buffer for road rage. Seal delivers another winner like only he could. |
