5.0 out of 5 stars Why was this CD "ever" Promoted?!!, October 6, 2005

I brought this cd because I just happened to see it online and I thought I give it a play, being a HUGE Earth, Wind, & Fire fan! The CD is "Fantastic"! Even though it came out in '97 but still. The songs are gems. My favorites are: In the Name Of Love; Revolution; When Love Goes Wrong (Phillip never ceases to amazes me); Round and Round (Sheldon Renolds is a good vocalist in his own right) Keep it Real; Crusing; and Love is Life (Maurice sounds good on that track) Avatar should have been longer than 2:09 minutes. The Record Industry "SUCKS!!" They rely on "gemics" rather than true "Art!" That Cd is true art. Songs are beautifully written, strong positive messages, great arrangements with the famous EW&F Horns, and Great Production all the way around! This CD should have goten some airplay! If we have more music like this on the radio, I wouldn't be disgruntled as I am now. Good Music is being replaced by Gemic Garbage. I hope one day that will changed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Age has not "dulled" the musical sensation known as EWF, October 16, 2000

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Dose of EWF, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Name of Love (Audio CD)

This CD definitely merits a careful listening. A lot of the songs are of the slower variety. But I was particularly impressed by the upbeat track "Revolution", in which tribute is briefly paid to such wronged individuals as Mumia Abu-Jamal and Geronimo Pratt. The CD as a whole is very well done, but I wouldn't call it vintage EWF. Their earlier 1993 release "Millennium" is a better place to find a more funky, less R&B, sound.
