Lenny has exactly two great songs, neither of which are on this record. What we have here is vocal strain (seriously, stay in your range, dude) and 1960's musical cosplay. I give him props for playing most of the instruments I just wish the end result was better.

She's got a lovely voice and this is a very pleasant album to listen to. Too pleasant, really. Halfway through I was ready to put on some Cannibal Corpse or something.

Albums like this is why I love this challenge. I would have never even known this existed let alone give it listen if it didn't pop up. It turns out, I love Latin jazz. Who knew?

It all kind of bleeds together as one song but not in a cool prog rock way but because I literally can't differentiate between individual songs cause it all sounds the same. I'll give it 2 stars because unlike most of these shitty techno albums I get its like 45 minutes minutes instead of 75.

This was fun. A little silly. I think some of the negative reviewers need a little whimsy in their lives because they sound like they have gigantic sticks up their asses.

I've heard some of his spoken word stuff but this is the first time I've heard Gil sing. He's got a very nice, soulful voice and it worked well for this kind of chilled out soul/jazz. This one doesn't appear to be on any of the streaming services but it's easy to find on youtube and worth a listen.

Man, I hate that this came out in the 80's. If it had come out earlier or later it would be a solid blues rock album but it's buried by that syrupy cheesy 80's production.

Rated 4/10

After 5 albums, I finally got the one that has their only good song.

Like, it's Led Zeppelin IV. Easily one of the greatest albums of all time. The only thing I can add to the discussion is that nobody ever talks about how well this album flows. Song order is really a lost art.

Years ago, a friend of mine from community college who has since passed away recommended this album to me. I listened to it and it didn't really resonate with me at the time. Listening to it today many years later I understand now why he loved it so much. Sometimes with music you just aren't ready for it at that particular point in your life but later on you get it. I really enjoyed this quite a bit. I hope wherever my buddy is he's got some good tunes.

Take On Me is an all time banger. There were a couple of other tracks I enjoyed too but nothing nearly as good as Take On Me.
