This is a classic Seventies album coming from Motown when Stevie Wonder was at his absolute peak as a singer and songwriter, this was made during a new period of consciousness from soul singers realising their words could touch people and make a difference. Created in 1973 it was part of his classic period and won him a grammy in 1974. For me 5 out of the 9 songs are great, the others are very good, but not as good as some of his other work, the standout tracks are 'Don't you worry bout a thing' and 'He's Misstra Know it all', both sound gentle but resonate with passion and bite. I haven't given this album 5 out of 5 simply because I only listen to it for 5 of the ... Read the complete review

People have many different opinions on Stevie Wonder. For many he is best remembered for his early 80s music, songs such as I Just Called To Say I Loved You' and 'Happy Birthday'. Some have heard songs such as 'Superstition' and 'Signed Sealed Delivered'. But few seem to possess a Stevie Wonder album, especially one of his classics. 'Talking Book', 'Songs In The Key Of Life' or 'Innervisions'. All of these are brilliant and worth owning, but my personal favourite is Innervisions. Released in 1973, Innervisions is the perfect soul album. It combines funky dancealong songs with more meaningful lyrical numbers ... Read the complete review

Not something I would have gone out and bought. I actually got this CD from a freebie offer in the Guardian last year. I thought there might be one or two tracks that would appeal to me. Once I received the CD though, I must have played it incessantly for about a month. Conceptually and musically Innervisions is a powerful and innovative piece of work with no weak tracks. It's a great album and one which I'm glad is now a part of my eclectic collection. The album was originally released in 1973. A digitally remastered CD was released in 2000. The album has nine tracks that cover a range of themes and issues: 'Too High', 'Jesus Children Of America' and 'Don't ... Read the complete review

** The Artist ** Knowing a little about Stevie Wonder's early life is important to understanding what inspired him musically. He was born blind in Michigan in 1950. Four years later his family moved to Detroit, where he began singing in his church's choir. He loved to sing and wanted to learn more about music, but his family couldn't afford a music instructor. That didn't stop this very determined boy. He taught himself by reading a braille book. By the time he was 10 he knew how to play the drums, piano and harmonica. He also listened to as much and as many different kinds of music as possible. The radio was one of his best friends and by ... Read the complete review

I have never been a huge fan of motown, but when my father pointed me in the direction of this album, who was i to say no. Now that i have developed a greater musical knwoledge, experiecne has told me that this is Wonder's defining moment and the best album that he made, and here's where i tell you why. 1. Too High - A song tha does sound as if it is about drugs, but then who am i to decide, but regardless of that this is a great track, with some very nice drumming that seems to dominate the instrumentals ide of thus song. 2. Visions - This is the only track on the album that i don't really like, as it just seems to lyrically not right, although i ... Read the complete review
Products similar to Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
With No Human Intervention - Aborym
An interesting project combining extreme metal and dance/industrial.
True fusion is rare, most songs falling into one category or the other with disappointing simplicity
The Album - Ultrabeat
pretty green eyes
none really
Slaughter And Apparatus - Aborted
Aborted continue to improve, refining and incorporating further melodic elements into their sound.
Owes a significant debt to Carcass' 'Heartwork,' preventing it from being groundbreaking.
Sci-fi Lullabies - Suede
The first disc is amazing
A bit more hit and miss on disc 2
Riders Of The Plague - Absence
Making melodic death metal interesting again.
Still owes its sound entirely to earlier Swedish bands.
Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me - Abruptum
You may get an unreasonable sense of the connoisseur from owning something so obscure.
The album.
Horrorhammer - Abscess
Fairly enjoyable mix of death metal and hardcore punk.
Hugely inconsistent and lacking in substance.
Deceptive Awareness - Ablaze In Hatred
Some great modern doom on the even-numbered songs.
Some incredibly average modern doom in-between.
Abomination - Abomination
Fine early death metal.
Repetitive and derivative.
Abydos - Abydos
A great modern metal opera combining the best elements of the style and few of the weaknesses.
The concept and lyrics themselves are far from riveting.
