Reviews Customer Reviews for Mama Said      A classic      Rating:      This is what made Lenny the star he is. I continue to rank this album as nothing but great, it has stood the test of time. I wish Lenny would get back to the depth and soul of this album, his recent work simply does not compare.     Customer Reviews for Mama Said Cd      Lenny is so hot! But anyway...      Rating:      Fields Of Joy - 7.5 Always On The Run - 5 Stand By My Woman - 5.5 It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over - 8.5 More Than Anything In This World - 6 - He repeats himself OVER and OVER and OVER again. :/ What Goes Around Comes Around - 8 - Pleasant enough. Kind of like elevator music. But a bit better. I counted my chickens before they hatched. That brass instrument is ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IT SOUNDED TERRIBLE. Knock the score down a bit. 7.75. The Difference Is Why - 9 - This track is very laid back. I enjoy it loads, but some may think it's a bit boring. Stop Draggin' Around - 6.5 Flowers For Zoey - 8 - It seems as though Lenny hits the spot when he slows things down. Fields Of Joy (reprise) - 6.5 - Kinda pointless. I think I liked it at first but not now. All I Ever Wanted - 6 - Again, I used to like this song. But overall, it's kinda tacky when Lenny screams. When The Morning Turns To Light - 6 What The .... Are We Saying? - 7 - I don't think dropping the F-Bomb a couple of times was necessary. Seriously, Hell would have fit fine. But it still faired better than many other of these songs. Butterfly - 7.5 - Liked it, but too short for my liking. 96.75/14= 6.910714286 = 3 stars and then some. This CD has a few gems but overall, I think his CD, 5 might be better. I own it and liked it, but at this point, I'm not sure if it's better or not. I think I should give that another listen soon! :) Editorial Reviews for Mama Said Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Sometimes it's fun to take the albums of latter-day rockers and play spot-the-influence, and on Mama Said, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. "Always on the Run," with its punchy horns and emphatic vocals, is cribbed from Sly Stone. "What Goes Around Comes Around," with its understated arrangement and Kravitz's falsetto, is straight out of Superfly-era Curtis Mayfield. "Stand By My Woman" and "All I Ever Wanted," meanwhile, are so directly copped from John Lennon--lyrically, sonically, attitudinally--that it ought to be actionable. Younger fans might not care about any of this, of course, because in and of themselves, Kravitz's songs are tuneful, and they do rock. --Daniel Durchholz
