5.0 out of 5 stars My fave of all TOP recordings, December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Souled Out (Audio CD)

I am a long time (20 plus years) fan of Tower. I saw the original band (Lenny Williams, Brent Byers, Mic Gillette etc.) when I was in High School. I stopped listening after a few bad records like "Power" and the strange disco stuff. My copy of "Souled Out" would be worn out if were not digital! The new blood in the band keeps them fresh with ideas and a new interpretation of the Tower feel and trademark sound. I saw the band last year on the BB King tour and they were as tight as ever. My only question is: "Why is the lifespan of the Lead singers so short?"

4.0 out of 5 stars Sounds dated (and in this case, that's DEFINITELY a GOOD thing), June 16, 2008

Legendary in th 70s for its tight, funky grooves, unbeatable group of horn players, and having the great Lenny Williams as lead vocalist, some people might agree that 1995 was probably not the best year for TOP to be making an album, especially with all of the personnel changes up to that point. That being said, this may actually be one of the best funk albums not made during the genre's glory period. The horn section is as fierce as ever (especially on the gritty instrumental "Undercurrent"), and with his muscular yet smooth voice, Brent Carter makes a highly respectable substitute for Lenny Williams, and he shines brightly throughout, especially on the soothing ballad "Soothe You."

5.0 out of 5 stars Too young to wish for the old days, November 18, 1998

Hey, I've listened to all their CD's too and this one might just be the best. I'm looking from a different perspective, being a younger fan (18), and I think this CD's right up there with the old stuff. In fact, I like it a lot better than what some people are calling the "return to the TOP sound" recording, "Rhythm and Business."
