Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (Top 500 Countdown Update)
"You Are the Sunshine" and "Superstition" are great songs, but the other songs don't seem as tightly woven, they seem to get a bit lost in exactly what they want to be. Where Music of My Mind was slow this album is alive and vibrant. I still think the sound is a bit experimental occasionally coming together like on "Superstition" to create a concise song, but the rest of the album seems to be a bit confused and lost. This album is a step up from Music of My Mind, but I believe there is still room to grow and better develop this sound that is obviously growing over these albums.
