I think the other reviewers are getting their wires crossed. This is what's known as a "Mixtape" and is not the long-awaited follow up to D'Angelo's 2000 classic "Voodoo".
This CD is a mixture of previously released obscurities (live b-sides, contributions to sound tracks)and a couple of "new" tracks in Really Love and Go Back 2 That Thing - a meandering guitar led mellow Sly Stone influenced semi-ballad and a meandering keyboard led Sly Stone (again!) influenced instrumental jam respectively.
So basically Y.O.D.A. is a semi-official bootleg with all the variable sound quality, minimal information and packaging and thrown together nature you'd expect.
All the same, speaking as a big fan of D'Angelo's work who is hungry to hear some more stuff from the great man, to be able to hear 79 minutes of "new" (at least for me), mostly quality material is far far better than nothing (which is pretty much what we've got from the great man over the last 5 years or so).
Should also mention that the opening track, Features, appears to be a cut up of various disparate works in progress some of which are really, really excellently funky, flowing and mellow just as you'd want them to be - can't wait to hear the finished album cos from the sound of it, D'Angelo has been sitting on some decent material!
Peace'n'out,

Whoever is responsible for this travesty should be ashamed of himself. This is NOT worth your money. The live covers sound terrible. I bought this cd because I heard D'Angelo's version of Al Green's So Glad You're Mine on XM radio. It was outstanding and I was disappointed that it wasn't included on the Live at Jazz Cafe cd.
Well, this cd only has 2 minutes of that performance (as well as shortened versions of some of the other live performances) and the sound quality stinks!! DON'T BUY THIS CD! You'll regret it.

This was a highly anticipated return for D'Angelo and it promised MUCH more than it delivered. It's a nice live album for those ald favourites, and has some interesting if poorly produced outtakes. The new stuff is typical D'Angelo quality, but simply there is not enough of it.
For the fan of D'Angelo, it's a must have album, but don't expect to be taken on another rollercoaster of emotions.... #

Terrible quality
This is another album from "Think Differently", who appear to specialise in making albums from a collection of songs from previous albums and a few bad recordings of gigs. Read more
