Summary: Lenny Kravitz: A One-Man 'Revolution.'
Comment: Many of my friends have an aversion to singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz. I find this curious, considering his ability not only to blend retro garage-rock, soul, funk, reggae, and psychedelic sounds, but because of his multi-talented ability to play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and percussion on his albums. To his critics, I say keep an an open mind and give Kravitz's eighth studio album, It Is Time for a Love Revolution, a try. It reveals his gifted proficiency as a singer-songwriter-musician. He wrote, composed, arranged, performed, and produced all fourteen tracks himself. Dare I say that at times the classic-rock guitar work sounds like Kravitz channeling Hendrix? This is arguably the best album Kravitz has ever made, and there is a reason it has topped the charts around the world. Tracks include:
1. Love Revolution 3:14
2. Bring It On 3:35
3. Good Morning 4:17
4. Love, Love, Love 3:21
5. If You Want It 5:08
6. I'll Be Waiting 4:19
7. Will You Marry Me 3:44
8. I Love the Rain 4:44
9. A Long and Sad Goodbye 5:57
10. Dancin' Til Dawn 5:09
11. This Moment Is All There Is 5:07
12. A New Door 4:39
13. Back In Vietnam 3:45
14. I Want To Go Home 5:04

Summary: Lenny Proves There Is Hope!
Comment: Now let me just start by saying this cd is almost religious! It's so insanely great that I lose my mind when I listen to it and play along to it! It's so full of emotion that is missing from today's pop & rock music. Thank goodness that Lenny still has the blessing of the Gods of great music! If you don't understand the greatness of this album, that embraces all the great music of the past, you are lost.

Summary: Getting back to what he does best.
Comment: Written and recorded over the course of the last year, in various locations from New York to Miami, Paris, the Bahamas and Brazil, "It Is Time For A Love Revolution" looks set to hold up as one of the Kravitz's best albums with its raucous rock 'n' roll jams, heavy drums, tight hip-shaking grooves, frenetic guitars and Kravitz's unmistakable croon.
Featuring 14 new songs, the album once again finds the multi-instrumentalist writing, producing, arranging and playing all the tracks on the album, which he has done on all of his releases throughout his career.
As the album title indicates, Kravitz sings songs of love and spiritual revolution, calling on people to open up and let love in their hearts.
He also isn't afraid to get political, using his music to draw attention to the current US war in Iraq and the Vietnam era.
There's no denying the talent of the man: multi-instrumentalist, singer and writer of global hits.
Here he's shunned the risk of over-production to go for a gritty approach.
"Good Morning" is a whirling psychedelic, but sadly sub-Sgt Pepper, ballad - an unflattering Beatles homage.
"I'll Be Waiting" has a great, soulful hook but is an all too brief glimpse of what he is capable of.
It gives way to the dry funk of "Will You Marry Me". The White Stripes do this retro rock 'n' roll and manage to make it sound as vibrant as the day that Hendrix released Purple Haze.
Lenny's clearly enjoying the ride, but too much of this album sounds like demos that he would once have rightly left on the studio floor.
From the singles "Bring It On" and "I'll Be Waiting", as well as "Love, Love, Love", "Dancin' Til Dawn" and "I Want To Go Home", the CD (Lenny's eighth studio album} represents the characteristics that has made Kravitz a vital musician for 18 years.
