This album is pretty fantastic. And there's no way I'm going to allow you noobs let this aotd go unanswered and dropped off the front page like that! Shame on all of you! (Makes me any to spit!)

Anyway, yeah, it's really solid. I'd rate Innervisions and Songs In The Key Of Life above this. But really any album with "Blame It On The Sun", "I Believe When I Fall In Love..." and "Superstition" on it is great, no matter how horribly cheesy "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" is.

You are being way too critical of sunshine of my life.

Yeah, kind of have the same view as Mercury.

I think it's OK. Superstition is the obvious stand-out IMO, but even then, while it was one of my fave tracks ever for some time, I now much prefer Living For The City or Heaven Is Ten Zillion Lightyears Away. The other tracks range from solid (You And I, Blame It On The Sun, the closer) to downright awful (Big Brothrer).

Tbh, based on my limitless love for the three follow-up records, I'd call myself a Wonder fan; this, though, isn't very good.
