Sad Circus

Review Score: (6/10)
After the major success of Are You Gonna Go My Way, Lenny Kravitz should have been on top of the world. Instead, his world was crumbling around him. His marriage to Lisa Bonet was crumbling away and his beloved mother, Roxie Roker, was seriously ill. Circus takes on a dark tone throughout the album. The album opens up with the ominous "Rock & Roll Is Dead" and other dark tales like "Don't Go & Put A Bullet In Your Head", "Thin Ice", "Tunnel Vision" and "Can't Get You Off My Mind" permeate the album. Also, faced with his mother's sickness, he searches for spiritual answers in songs like "God Is Love", "Resurrection", "Beyond The 7th Sky" and "In My Life Today". Mr. Kravitz's heart doesn't seem to be in this album and sags from time to time. still the album became his first top ten album debuting and peaking at number ten.
