  Amazon.com: Get Lifted: Music: John Legend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Legend first made his name on Philly's incense-clouded, '70s-obsessed neo-soul scene, then found his way to New York and became West's right-hand man in the studio.
Although criticism that he has relied too much on his influences to guide his musical direction is semi-justified, Legend (real name John Stevens) has more than enough talent and charisma at his disposal that one listen to the album will leave no doubt in the minds of listeners that he is something special.
John Legend has crafted an album that is pure candy to the ears and spotlights a wealth of talent that is truly all his own.

  John Legend - Get Lifted - Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
An album full of songs dipped in straight talk that show him being devoted to the game of love, without adolescent hormones talking up phat booties or tissue soft, overly romantic sweetness drowning out the message in the music.
Legend delivers a masterpiece that when played in the presence of anyone unaware of the song, would cause them to say..
Like his mentor, Legend has a self-deprecating streak, and he's often quite candid, and quite funny, in revealing his flaws, the chief one being that he loves the ladies so much he can't stay true to just one.

 Jamaica Gleaner - Bob Marley's 'Legend' creating waves worldwide - Friday | September 15, 2000
Legend, which features some of the most popular Bob Marley and the Wailers standards, once again is destined for the top of the Billboard Top Pop Catalogue charts.
Legend moved up one position to #2 this week as the album celebrates 584 weeks (just over 11 years) on the TPC chart, selling over 10 million copies in the United States alone, according to a Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) survey.
What this means is that Legend, which has gone to the #1 position several times and has spent most of its weeks in the Top 20 position in its 11-year tenure, is, over time.

 Legend Part 1 by Saviour Machine, a review for The Phantom Tollbooth by Jeremy Choi
With over 77+ minutes of music and lyrical imagery, Legend is a surrealistic journey into the pages of the Scriptures, carefully assembling as much apocalyptic/end-times information as possible, and setting the resulting account to music which is often reflective, at times somber, but always stirring.
The album increases in intensity as it progresses, with the use of distortion more prominently featured on the album's latter half.
As an album on the end-times, all of the lyrics are heavily influenced by biblical prophecy.

 washingtonpost.com: A Musical Legend With His First Album
For Legend, the story might as well be called "Now They Love U." Reviews for his album have been ecstatic, supporting the playful premise of the song "Let's Get Lifted," in which the singer suggests his own sensuality as the ultimate drug: "Once you take a hit of this.
Legend's grandmother was the organist at the Pentecostal church where his grandfather was the minister; his mother was the choir director.
Some of that process is addressed in one of the album's most upbeat tracks, "Live It Up." Legend says most of his songs build musically from a beat or a piano or guitar riff that inspires him to write in a certain direction.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock AM-AQ
There are twelve pieces on this album in all, and the most interesting tracks (from the standpoint of progressiveness) are from 2 to 5, though, on the whole, this album is full of exceptionally original melodies.
While most tracks on their self-titled album are based on the combination of acoustic guitar, various flutes and vocals (in English), the arrangements tend to vary, thanks to the contribution of numerous guests on violins, oboe, clarinet, percussions, bass, choir, piano, etc. As a rule though, the sound remains light, natural and essentially acoustic.
This album is a finely-crafted balancing act between listener-friendly 1980s rock sound and timeless weirdness, and the fact that twenty years later it sounds both the product of its time and utterly relevant still, attests its success.

The second album from Air, released at the beginning of the summer, is indisputably a masterpiece.
Radian is one of the high points of the album, and is one of the two instrumental songs, with a 3-minute long introduction which carries away in a meditative coma.
It is certainly a fantastic album, but I agree with these words, Air does not worry about the sale of their album, because it will sell...

 BallerStatus.net Reviews: Get Lifted
Legend lets us know very early on during his outstanding debut album Get Lifted that he is his own biggest fan.
Legend goes on to prove that he is an old school romantic at heart with the doo-wopish "Stay With You" and the amazing "So High." The album's final three tracks venture off into different subject matter.
In truth, the album's only overt misstep is a Kanye track: the genius knob twirler uses Curtis Mayfield's sampled-to-death classic "Let's Do It Again" as the basis for "Number One," and then tries to make up for it by spitting a hilarious verse on the song; doesn't work.

The album has a range of influences, from soul to hip-hop to classic pop to alternative.
Speaking of West, Legend admitted to Rolling Stone that he shared West’s sentiments on the president, but lacked the platform from which to speak.
Legend himself claims that this album shows a “growth and an extension for me. It’s a richer sound.

If I were to continue with the original plan to produce the double album, I would still be in the middle of the production at this time and the double album would not be released until sometime next year.

They recorded an album called, once again, Legend, for Vertigo in 1971: it is known as 'The Red Boot Album' because of the red boot on the cover.
The album was not as good as its forerunner, but the contributions from Procol continued.

 Air - 10,000Hz Legend : album review
If this year has thrown up many surprises, 10,000Hz Legend must be close to the top of the list for anyone who has bought Premiers Symptomes, The Virgin Suicides or Moon Safari.
There will inevitably be criticism of the album for being patchy from some quarters, as critics and public struggle to take in the sheer number of rich, clear sounds that Messrs.
Such critics should play the album more than once and attempt to deny that it is not the most articulate expression yet of how electronic and acoustic music can live together, how genre is and always has been a silly concept dreamt up by critics to label that which they fail to describe.

I know that all my loyal fans have been waiting a while for the album, but most people in the country don't know who I am yet, and the label wanted to give them a chance to hear more about me before we put the album out.
Now I know there's a new bootleg leak of the final version of the album on the internet and on the streets, and I know some of y'all are bumping it in your stereos right now.
But John Legend is something different, if you feel insecure about yourself that's you, but don't walk around thinking people are soft 'cause they listen to John Legend.

The Bob Marley collection "Legend" does indeed make its case for Marley as a regge legend.
More than any other artist, he helped bring regge music to mainstream audiences with his excellent songwriting and musicianship.
The most popular compilation of Marley's work, though, would have to be the Legend compilation, released in the middle of the eighties.

 Bagism: Albums & Singles: Reviews: Lennon Legend
However, I believe the greatest aspect of the album is that it carries on the spirit of John Lennon and shows the world lost something incredibly rare and incredibly special on December 8th 1980.............
I would not consider this album to be a 'lennon' album primarily since this is a rehash of his previous albums.
Besides the fact that the songs on this album have already been released it's perfect (the songs having been already released shouldn't be held against the quality of this album anyway/Just 'cause it makes you mad that you already have the songs don't hold it against the greatness of this album alone).

But most importantly, Get Lifted is a soul record, that’s where John Legend’s songs will stick with you.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Legend Of The Liquid Sword [Explicit Lyrics]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The self-proclaimed "ill rhyme kicker / with no parental sticker" rolls with almost nonstop braggadocio on the album, flashing his virtuosity with metaphorically inspired songs like "Fame" and "Animal Planet" and wordplay parties such as "Knock, Knock" and "Sparring Minds." The album's main liability is that it's consistent to a fault.
A near flawless album, I would rate this 2nd best out of GZA's albums, under the original "liquid swords." The production is excellent and like someone said in another review, you can listen to this album all the way through without skipping tracks, each song is a masterpiece.
The GZA is one of, if not the best lyrycist in hip hop, and this album is a testament to his incredible skills.

I have seen a few metal compilation albums released in recent years which claim to have LEGEND songs on them but it is not us.
Pete: “At the time the album title was a bit controversial as most people thought it was about children however, as the lyrics of the title track show, the song is about mankind still being a child in terms of development and the way we risk our own destruction.”
The first album gave us a good selection of lengthy songs to play live but we wanted a few shorter punchier ones to give the band a more energetic feel.
