5.0 out of 5 stars Whole Lotta Love, 2 Dec 2007
By MICHAEL ACUNA (Southern California United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Seal's recording career started with a Bang about 16 years ago with two terrific albums of music: startling, beautiful, stirringly sung Music. Music that touched you in places that Music seldom touches you...simultaneously on your mind, in your heart and in your soul.
Then there was a period of searching for a direction, "Human Being" and "Seal IV": both albums with several commendable songs but neither with the intense thought and musical follow-through of Seal's first two.
And now there is "System." From the very first sighs of "If it's in my mind, it's on my face," it is apparent that Seal is up to something different. His trademark voice, always perfectly in pitch, always big, always bold and masculine: "The time is now!..if I could fly I'd spread my wings and free you from these foolish things..." The arrangement is voluptuous with Bass and Strings and the beat dares you not to move out of your chair, whether that chair is in your dining room or in your car....and dance.
The signature song of "System" comes next and that is "Amazing" and indeed it is. In fact there are two versions of this song on this CD, one a remix by "The Thin White Duke" (Bowie maybe?) and there are two others that I know of: one by Kaskade and the other by Bill Hamel available elsewhere.
"Just Like Before," "The Right Life," "Loaded": all primo Seal...thoughtful, rough, truthful, one stronger than the former but all meshed together by the committed vocalizing by one of our premier singers.
"System" is in fact all about fun, about dancing, about Joy and mostly about shrugging off the BS of Life and moving your booty. Seal is obviously happy and wants to spread it around...and we're more than happy to accept his beneficence

3.0 out of 5 stars Come back Trevor........., 14 Nov 2007
By Mr. Michael D. Hunt (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Seal, what a voice. A genuine artist that I have admired for his entire career. Unfortunately, I find Trevor's absence to be painfully apparent. We all have people in life that bring the best out in us and Trevor Horn certainly did this for Seal. This album doesn't have the subtle beauty and feeling of his last album and unfortunately does not conjure the groove or excitement of a good dance album. None the less it is a pleasant enough listen but not one you would wear out....
