Excellent Album.......2006-03-31

I had to give five stars because I grew up on this album before I heard any of his other stuff. I'm definitely a Stevie Wonder fan and to hear somebody knock the projects that he come out with upsets me. Basically I think its because don't nobody know what good music is. To me, if you are a "true" fan, you would listen to any album, anytime, anywhere! You have certain periods that you want to listen to his works. For instance, If i want to hear real instruments, I pull out his stuff in the 70's. If I want to hear his amazing change in vocals, I pull out the 80's. His stuff in the 90's is a combination of both. Though nobody claims to like this cut, I think You're full of it!! Good music doesn't matter how long a song can be. If u listen to Jazz u know that! And the message on this album is put at his best(along with a time to love). I can't explain how much I love this cd. My dad bought it when it came out cuz he was hooked on "I'm New," and we both fell in love with the record since. If you are sooo concerned about "time limits" and the genre of music that was big in that time period (which was New Jack), Naw, u don't need to buy this joint. If u don't give a damn jus cuz its Stevie and u kno he got sumthin to say, Buy this Joint. I think the only ones you might not feel too much is "My love is with You, and "Sorry," but they will grow on you too. Jus pay attention to what he's singin bout! Holla

Staring Right At 2000 AD.......2005-10-13

Stevie Wonder's last album in just about a decade has only one thing in common with his usual music-the songwriting craft and the melodies are still as catchy as they ever were and he is in good voice.Trouble is for 1995 vintage album most of the music featured here sounds as if it were trying very hard to follow up the New-Jack swing orieted 'Jungle Fever' soundtrack and that is a sound that doesn't seem to mesh well with Stevie's own.Hip-hop and new jack are not his generation and despite his need to be accessible and reach the public he can obviously do so more,as one reviwer said by being himself-not Babyface,Teddy Riley or anyone else.More so then the somewhat ironic 'Jungle Fever' this album contains some very pointed social criticisms in his classic,honest style but he doesn't tend to back up his message with timeless music.This album contains at least one classic-the reggae/synclaviar driven "Tomorrow Robins Will Sing"-going back to his wonderful integration of electronics into pop music."Sorry" is a tune I like because he features Wonder on a house oriented tune-sounds like a leftover from some unreleased follow up to his 'Characters' album from the late 80's.My main reason for liking the song is that new-jack and hip-hop style music dominates most of the rest of this album and new-jack gets on my nerves after awhile.But aside from trying too hard to appeal to the masses it's always good to have new Stevie Wonder music around.So WHY TEN YEARS WAITING FOR THE NEW ONE?As of this writing his new album 'A Time 2 Love' is on it's way out after two years of promotion and false starts!From what I hear Stevie Wonder will be ALOT more himself and NO NO NEW-JACK STUFF!!

Stevie Wonder's "Conversation Peace".......2005-08-14

Once again Stevie Wonder proves his genius in the music field. A very thought provoking CD with strong messages regarding social issues. My personal favorite is "Take The Time Out", it basically states we as humans are apart of everyone's existance.
This is Stevie's last CD and I can't wait for the release of " A Time To Love ."

Excellent!.......2005-07-02

What a fresh and hopeful sound. Wonder's hope about the world shines through on every track. A super CD. I'm glad I purchased it.

Stevie's Conversation Peace.......2005-01-28

I decided when I started to collect Stevie vast amount of music, I would start at his latest stuff- thus the first album I have is Conversation Peace- At first it didnt really impress, the music didnt really seem innovative except for tracks like
"Rain Your Love Down", "Taboo to Love", "Sensuous Whisper"
However, after repeated listens, there is a lot to appreciate-
Rain Your Love Down makes you singalong, which I bet what Stevie wants so grace and love can be upon us all.

Edge of Eterity has the slick lyrics that Stevie is saying what he wants, and getting what he gets- a sexy lady. The repeating base with the horns really wants to dance, definitely something to pump out the stereo- though my only complaint thats its a bit long for its own good, if you arent dancing.

Taboo to Love is perhaps the best track on the album. The backing violins and keyboard guitar gives you sense of an inner struggle to love or not love again, which is how Stevie makes music so you can truly feel the meaning of what hes trying to say. The lyrics are top notch too, and his singing is strained purposely- just awesome. Very remininsent of "If its Magic"

Take Your Time Out is the best social song he has on here. At first the beginining sounds a bit silly- with the light keyboards and sound effects, but once the base comes in with Stevie blazing vocals. Similar to Rain Your Love Down in a social mentality.

Im New is probably longer than it needs to be espically since the third verse just seems tacked on compared to the beautiful lyrics of the first and second verse. Stevie gets Take 6 to act as base, and brings a warmth to it. The percussion will have you bouncing as well, and the lyrics are just beautiful. Love the guitar solo at the end, though I think it would have done well to replace the last verse.

My Love Is With You falls prey to just being all over the place- the rythmns are there, as well as the great base, but the lyrics dont move you- and Stevie singing seems out of place to carry across the message. The best part of the song is where the chant "Ban the handgun" which is just powerful to end it with, but he doesnt, it follows up with some operator nonsense. Not nessesarily BAD, but not moving either.

Treat Myself is kind of that song thats saying more than that could be understood. I think the lyrics give you a way to give yourself some peace, like meditation. Simple straightforward songwriting prevails in this song. the light pop feel works for this uplifting song, and great harmonica solos within the song take it up another notch. And his singing is just great.

Tomorrow Robins Will Sing
For some reason, Eddie Shines apperance would had made more sense in a live cut, like say "Natural Wonder" . For a song that celebrates the tommorow, the studio version seems somewhat subduded. Nevertheless it works very well. The lyrics arent any complaint, and flow around the beats very well for me.

Sensuous Whisper works for me. Its saucy and sexy and I love the piano work. Plus Anita Baker's vocals may be understated, but work well in the chorus- which Stevie excells at. Very dancable too without it being nessesarily overlong.

For Your Love only problem is that it takes too long to get to the vocals! Otherwise, its a sweet declaration of love- cheesy, but with Stevies highest vocal ranges being heard, sincere and believable

Cold Chill heats things up once more, with the drumming which we can assume its Stevie (yay!) and the guitars and solos are just awesome. Lyrically its sound and I like how its about a woman mistreating a guy maybe because hes being too full of himself.

Sorry is a misstep, In my opinion. its sure experimental, and insturmental wise, its sound, but the lyrics arent moving nor is Stevie's singing

Conversation Peace almost makes it but the lyrics, while consice and to the point dont work for the message of a Conversation Peace. And also the last verse gives you feeling that hes talking to Christians which excludes a lot of other peoples. Love the music though.

Conversation Peace at first doesnt accomplish its goal for me; too many love songs all though good, dont address a bevy of issues that Stevie could have written about. Despite all of its blemishes, its a deep album, with songs most R and B artists would crave to have. I'd give 3 3/4 stars, but you cant, this works
