"We've all got our voice. And if I have this gift to play music, then I'm gonna talk about love," Lenny Kravitz says in a YouTube promo for his eighth studio album. Understood. Got it. The fact, though, is that Kravitz could be singing about old tires or bowling shoes in these songs and it wouldn't much matter, because in the basest and most primal way possible, they rock. Opener "Love Revolution" busts out a vibe that lingers, with Lenny barking a credo--clearly in his old-school element as drums pound and guitars get abused--and loving it. Breaks come in the form of quieter songs like the Beatles-esque chill-pill "Good Morning" and the vintage Queen-like "A Long and Sad Goodbye," but the mission of Love Revolution is mostly to move the masses. And that it shall: fists will pump, feet will stomp, and attitudes will be copped. As listeners flip through the track list and discern influences as far-flung as James Brown, the Black Crowes, and Jimi Hendrix, they will feel not disdain for the lack of ingenuity but appreciation for the good sense Kravitz shows in following those artists' leads. In jumbling them up and making them his own, he proves that love revolutions need not be tame. They can be fierce. The best evidence arrives two tracks in: though "Bring It On" features the soothing sitar of Anishka Shankar, it bashes its way through the speakers as though fueled by kryptonite. It is bad-ass, in a word. And so is this album. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description
Japanese version of this 2008 full-length. As the title indicates, the album is a thunderous rock 'n roll call-to-arms featuring Kravitz singing songs of a love revolution backed by a powerful blend of soul, funk, and jazz grooves and the undeniable, anthemic lyricism that's been his trademark from day one. Globally recognized and acclaimed rock musician Lenny Kravitz kicked off this album with his"Get on the Bus with the Love Revolution" club tour of nine select markets with tickets through MySpace. Winners travel on a Kravitz-designed custom tour bus and become part of the artist's tour family on the road with full backstage access to the live concert event. The lucky winners and their guests join Lenny on the road. This is Lenny Kravitz's 8th studio album including the singles 'Bring It On' and 'I'll Be Waiting', the album is the artist's first new release in over three years.This version comes with two bonus tracks, 'Uncharted Terrain' & 'Confused'. EMI.

Customer Reviews

lenny's new rev
this was my first purchase of anything lenny kravitz (or any rock artist for that matter) and overall it is a nice, easy listening/flowing cd and i made this purchase after hearing him sing one tune from the cd on "good morning america"....very uncommon for a longtime r&b listener.

Lenny Poetry
I really enjoy this mans' kickin'vibe, and I detect some stronger faith on this CD.
Looking towards the mountain, this 'soul rocker' has some elevation.

Lenny Kravitz: Slight Return
For anyone who has been a fan of Lenny Kravitz from his first album, "Let Love Rule", this will indeed be a "slight return" to his
old form. Several tracks, including "Love Revolution", "Bring It On" and "Love Love Love" remind me of the feel of Lenny's earlier work.
However, there are also several tracks that feel forced, and almost
silly in their simplicity ("I Love The Rain" and "Back In Vietnam").
After Lenny's recent "pop" successes, I take comfort in the
fact that the Lenny I first became a fan of is still in there somewhere,
writing songs.
