4.0 out of 5 stars IV stars, January 30, 2005

By	Anthony Rupert "shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!!" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Although I've always liked Seal, this is actually the first album I picked up from him. I read a lot of reviews and most people are saying that his first two albums were his best ones. Maybe that's true, but that doesn't mean there aren't any gems to be found on his fourth album.

As usual, you'll find some nice ballads on here, like "Don't Make Me Wait", "Tinsel Town" and "Love's Divine". And the funky tracks are also good, as evidenced by the first single, "Waiting For You". Seal also does a good job of covering otherwise played-out subject matter, like the we-are-the-world song "Get It Together" and the keep-your-head-up song "Where There's Gold". Unfortunately, though, I can't say the same about "Let Me Roll", a rather silly attempt at a club-rocker.

I didn't really care for "Touch" either, but that's okay because songs like the laid back "Loneliest Star" will remind you why you picked this album up to begin with. And no offense, but I wonder if the reviewers that complained that Seal isn't getting any airplay in the States have ever heard of VH1. Anyway, Seal IV definitely gets the seal of approval.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seal IV, June 2, 2004

By A Customer

I am a huge fan of Seal's first 3 albums, so I rushed out to buy this one the minute it came out. What a disappointment!! Most of the songs sound like old remixes of Curtis Mayfield tunes. The only 2 with that eerie signature 'Seal' sound are 'heavenly' and 'tinsel town'. I'd say go to Itunes....listen to the songs...buy the tunes you like (if there are any) and call it a day.

3.0 out of 5 stars strong moments, worth owning, June 18, 2004

By A Customer

Seal IV has many strong moments and it's worth owning,
but it's far his best work. Seal put the bar so high
with Human Being and 1994...pure genius...
