I've been a fan of Stevie Wonder since I was paired up with Roheblius for Matt's write off some months back. Ever since I listened to Innervisions I have been a huge fan of the musician and since that review I have successfully bought this album as well as his magnificent Talking Book. Stevie...

Pros Well-written, heartfelt, well-crafted songs
Cons a few bland tracks
Recommended it? Yes

I received Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" as a gift for my 16th birthday, on Apr. 28, 1977. As I started listening to this album, I was bowled over and inspired for months. Wonder had been having hits since 1963, but he was not allowed control over the creative process until 1972, when... Read full review »

Pros Everything.
Cons He would never be able to match this masterpiece.
Recommended it? Yes

In the mid-1970s, there was no one in popular music running on the same level of artistic consistency of Stevie Wonder.
That may seem like a bold statement; but from 1972-1976-in the span of four albums-Wonder pushed soul music (and popular music in general) into a bold new world. His... Read full review »

Pros It is beautiful.
Cons yeah right
Recommended it? Yes

"Songs in the Key of Life" is Stevie's signature work according to most critics. It is also why some people consider Stevie a "seventies" artist. The album was released in 1978 and remained #1 on the charts for many weeks. Alot of people consider it a masterpiece or genius but those terms are too... Read full review »

Of all the acts of artistic self-sabotage that I?ve witnessed (and there were many, from The Whos? umpteenth farwell tour to Elton Johns? cynical ?Candle In The Wind ?98?), ?I Just Called To Say I Love You? ranks as the highest of them all.

Pros Stevie's Masterpiece
Cons We can overlook some goofy moments
Recommended it? Yes

You'll have to forgive Stevie Wonder his occasional loopiness. Eccentricity often accompanies genius.

So what if the bizarre liner notes contained within Stevland's 1976 double-album masterpiece Songs In The Key Of Life have to be taken with a grain of salt. That whole "'Songs In The Key... Read full review »
