From Music of My Mind to Talking Book Stevie Wonder grew his new voice and new sound finally exploding with the brilliant album Innervisions. It stands above the other two for its consistency and incorporation of everything that he was experimenting with on those two albums. This album has a great blend of songs that all fit tightly together to make a wonderful album. There isn't a bad song on the album or a bad moment.
It's a brilliant album and one that Wonder would never be able to match. Like U2 he would have to begin experimenting with different sounds, different types of songs, but never again reach a moment that would come close to this. This album is a great reason why studio albums are much better than a collection, greatest hits, anthology whatever. These songs are so tightly woven together it is a feeling that is lost once the songs are removed from their home, and in the end that is what makes this album and others like it so good. It is so well structured, so well thought out that you are left realizing the artist could have done no better than what they did.
