In the Name of Love
With one harmless exception, the band avoids the sort of political sloganeering and vague spiritualism that made its lyrics so embarrassing in the past, and sticks to the proven themes of dancing and romancing. But what really makes the album so appealing are the juicy chorus melodies that the lead singers and their collaborators have come up with. These refrains are so catchy that you want to sing along, and they're so firmly anchored to the syncopated grooves that you'll want to dance along as well. Most of those beats are built atop programmed drum tracks, but live drummers add secondary patterns that give the arrangements the cross-rhythms this group was once famous for. On uptempo numbers such as "Keep It Real" and the title track, Maurice White's lead vocals engage the horns in a heady call-and-response dialogue. On the slower romantic ballads, such as "When Love Goes Wrong" and "Cruising," Bailey's impossibly high tenor sounds as if it's in a permanent swoon. If there were still a market for this sort of old-school funk, these songs would all become hits. --Geoffrey Himes

Reviews:
a good record
it's a shame this disc was ignored.this disc has great moments such as the name of love,revolution which features Phillip's son rapping.the powerful tributes to Mumia abu-Jamal&Geronimo Pratt.cruising is a smooth ballad by Phillip.i first heard it in Spike Lee's Get on the bus film.this is there best disc since the eternal box set.i await the new disc.this is still the greatest group ever.the horns and the genius of Mr.Maurice White are all there.Age has not "dulled" the musical sensation known as EWF
Like reviewer Mistermaxx said earlier, it is puzzling why this album did not take off. Earth, Wind, & Fire's brilliance has never been better on this 11-song set.The strongest cuts are the rocking "Revolution," the poetic "When Love Goes Wrong," the sultry "Fill You Up," the seductive "Round and Round," the dreamy "Cruising" and "Love is Life" which harkens back to EWF's heyday.
With the abundance of "boy bands" populating the airwaves, it is refreshing to hear some real sounds from a mature group.
WOW!
This album should have been heavily promoted. It is one of the greatest EWF albums ever produced. I have been a fan of EWF since there was an EWF; I had all their music except this album. I was completely blown away by the power of these "new" songs. The music is exceptional and the lyrics have so much to say. No one does romantic songs better than EWF and, boy, do they meet that promise on this album. When the lights are low, listen to "When Love Goes Wrong," "Fill You Up," and "Keep It Real." I really wish music afficionados would recognize the heavy influence of contemporary jazz in their music. I believe this is one reason the group has been overlooked in recent years, with the exception of a few contemporary jazz radio stations who have their act together.If you have ever experienced Earth Wind and Fire, please buy this album. You won't be disappointed, this is a true gem.
