Wow!!! It's hard to imagine that there's any rock and roll singer out there as smooth and as cool as Lenny Kravitz. His music is always off the wall and his style and bravado persona help create the total package. And now this cd helps to further ensure that that someday we WILL be hailing him as a musical legend.

Lenny's new album continues in the same vein as some of his past releases. It's not necessarily ground breaking but that does not mean to say that it's not affecting. Kravitz can still write lyrics and craft songs that are so emotive that one can be easily overwhelmed. Through his vivid imagery and lovelorn lyrics Kravitz can still both move you and get a party started.

Standout tracks from this release prove to be the exciting and uplifting 'Battlefield of Love' which you will find yourself bobbing your head to immediately. In addition to this are the slow, soulful 'Stillness of Heart' and Believe in Me'. Not to be ignored are the equally impressive 'Dig In' and 'Pay to Play'.

In all, Kravtiz brought forth an ecletic impressive album. Though there's not a single as deeply moving as 'Again' and the the album itself is not as impressive as past Lenny releases such as '5', I reiterate that 'Super Soul Fighter is BACK!!!'

It actually took me a long time to get into this disc, but once I did I found it just as good as the couple before it. "Dig In" is the big rocker here, and holds up well next to "Fly Away". "Stillness Of Heart" was another good track, and sounds similar to "Again" from his "Hits" album. I also really like the cool "If I Could Fall In Love", "Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)", and the smooth "You Were In My Heart". "Bank Robber Man" is about him falsely being accused of that crime in real life. Otherwise the rest here is decent, but nothing amazing. Ok, I do like "Let's Get High" too. Overall I'd say this isn't as great as his first few albums, but it's still good enough for true fans of "Lenny".
