It's riveting. Was that out loud? No one will get this joke. 70496@blogcritics.org Tue, 22 Jun 2004 02:24:57 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-70459 Oh ,I love Seal's singing. Good news is, he is a really nice guy too. This LP is on the top of my music-to-get list. 70459@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Jun 2004 22:07:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-70391 It is a shame that it took 6 years to get a full disc of new material from Seal. But it was worth the wait. I can't get Love's divine out of my head. I first came across Seal in August of 91 while I was watching a segment on MTV (when MTV was good), which was live in Central Park. Seal was doing an acoustic version of Crazy and finished up with several other songs from his first effort. The performance and artistry were awesome. This new effort isn't as good as the Seal I or II, but it has it's moments where the energy is phenomenal. I purchased IV on the 14 of June and have listened to it religously in the evening on my patio, while relaxing and having a glass of wine. Good effort SEAl 70391@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Jun 2004 16:37:05 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-46400 In a scale of 1 to 10,the greatest in song have managed up to a 9.8 and maybe a little more.Seal(o yea,SEAL)...is cruising at about 14-on that very same scale-if you know what i mean! 46400@blogcritics.org Sat, 21 Feb 2004 07:04:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-39801 The song writing quality on this record is very high with greatly crafted songs and well mixed silky vocals by Seal. As for the production, I like the variety, and find it dynamic, modern and refreshing. This is his best work ever. 39801@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 Jan 2004 02:37:39 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-20016 Trevor Horn's on this one too...but the more minimal songs are still way-cool. 20016@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Sep 2003 15:52:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/154309.php#comment-20013 Always loved Seal's voice but agree the production has been way over the top (was Trevor Horn in the past), so much so that I was kind of driven away. I am anxious to hear this one, and in particular the less-produced songs you mention. 20013@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Sep 2003 15:49:39 EDT
