This album is awesome and it keeps getting better with every listen. The thematic concepts of this album are just as applicable today as they were when it was recorded. A timeless classic.
Perfect
Brilliant album.
One of the greatest concept albums of all time. Even though it's very much a product of it's era, it's age remarkably well.
I really like the atmosphere of this one which is why I've returned to it so many times. However, it always disappoints me! The title track is a good standout, but the album loses my attention afterwards where "Save the Children" is the only song that really grabs my attention again, mostly because of its slightly awkward use of call & response, which I somehow still like. Maybe it'll grow on me over time, but as it is now I always expect more than I get.
Celestial
This is the album that redefined Motown in the 70s. And it still holds up to this day.
Picket lines and picket signs don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see WHAT'S GOING ON
One of the greatest voices of all time.
Favorite Track--What's Going On
Beautiful album that's good for the soul.
