Reviews
"A soulful reimagining of 60's and 70's urban protest songs....The concept of political awareness reigns supreme...", Ranked #48 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Legend's plaintive, gospelly cadences had a previously absent edginess.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "An admirably cocksure romp through Eugene McDaniels' 'Compared To What' ups the lyrical ante, with Legend bringing full-throated truth...", "The album is organic and opulent, with a heart of diamonds a lush sound to match, and it delivers exactly what it promises: consciousness-raising tracks from spiritual-soul all-stars...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A brilliantly conceived and executed album, reviving music from the nixon-era heyday of politically engaged R&B."
