Rated 7/10

I found this album deep inside my record collection as I was rummaging for some albums to sell off. It was supposed to go into a lot with some other albums like Bob Dylan's Slow Train Coming, or some Allman Brothers reunion album. Still, after listening to it, I quickly realized this album is not even near the consensus.

Side A is disco jamming, with the entire side being occupied by two songs, and side B goes into territory Isaac was most comfortable with: ethereal slow soul. The first two songs are good for a mindless listen when doing chores around the house, but Side B takes the cake with the emotional "Don't Take Your Love Away".
