It is over.

It was better than the other Stevie Wonder albums we've done but all felt, somehow, redundant.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

He was barely 20 years old when he wrote that album.

Just take a minute to let that sink in.

A true genius and prodigy.

It's far from being his best album, but it's a landmark album because it was the first time Motown let him off the hit-making studio system leash to create something more epic and visionary and more socially conscious a la Marvin Gaye.

I'd like to give it full marks, but it's nevertheless a bit patchy and the sense of it being a crossover album is obvious.

So...
