Community

This is a very good album, as my rating would suggest. Community's music is less a solid state affair than an exercise in open-mindedness. The four duets where the loving couple sing together, Police State, Unity, Know who you are and Healing have a funky backbeat and a foreground that allows various styles to come and go as they please. This is quite an interesting approach and I like it. The gentleman singer sings 'Heaven', a grungy rocker and '27 years' a tribute to Nelson Mandella. The songs the lady singer sings on her own are a bit too emotional for my tastes, but a lot of people like that way. Understanding and Mother are really funky, while the other songs she sings are torch ballads. Their lyrics are positiv and forward thinking and their melodies are original. I hope my review gives you an idea of what the album sounds like.
