| 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.  _________________ |

| 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...
