Title: Elevator music
Review: I understand where everybody else is coming from when they say that Soulive has good musicianship and songwriting skills but this album is completely devoid of emotion. All the little unison sax/keys licks seem to be floating around in the songs for no reason. It sounds like the kind of stuff that you hear on an elevator when you go to work. Also, I like Dave Mathews, but on Joyful Girl, he's terrible, probably because it's was a terrible song to begin with(it's an Ani DiFranco cover). The other lyrics just don't seem to cut it either(sorry Black Thought) because they don't fit in with this style of jazz. My sugestion is if you want good groovy organ jazz, stick to Medeski, Martin, and Wood, it's miles better than this.
Is the review positive or negative?
