Don't Pass It By!
Review Score: 








(10/10)
No this is not "All 'N All",or even "Raise!" but Earth,Wind & Fire ar growing up.New guitarist Roland Bautista adds a rockier
guitar muscle to the bands framework and there is a modern techno
influence here but the songs,especially the fast ones are classics."Fall In Love With Me","Spread Your Love",with it's
lovely steel drum work and "Speed Of Love" all work but most
impressive is the Phillip Baily vocal "Freedom Of Choice",an
unusual political-orientated jam that might not sit well with
some 80's fans and in my opinion a good reason why the album wasn't as successful as some others."Elesewhere "Something Special" is an attempt to rewrite "Wanna Be With You" and
"Heart To Heart" is a successful funk-rocker.More beat and dance
heavy yes,harder edged in spots also but unfortunately the last consistant album Earth,Wind & Fire has delivered thus far.
