Customer Reviews of That's the Way of the World
Good classic This album made earth wind and fire a pop group. Shining Star, That's the way of the world and reasons are hot. However, the songs are just as good.
Happy Feelings!
"That's The Way Of The World" is a wonderful album containing three classic hits-the simmering funk of "Shinning Star" and the jazzy R&B ballads "Reasons" and the title song but
HOLD THE PHONE!!!!The band hadn't yet shaken off their multi-ethnic/Afro-Cuban musical influences so instrumentals like "Africano","See The Light" as well as the bright,percussive pop of "Happy Feelings" look to those earlier stylings but baught it to the masses who baught this album for it's big radio
hits (betcha' alot of 'em didn't hear it coming).Along the way the wonderful piano ballad "All About Love" and the uptempo funk
groove of "Yearnin' And Learnin'" are great counterpoints.So this
album has everything that makes Earth,Wind & Fire the worldd most
dynamic funk group-a sense of being diverse AND commercial.Viva
1975!Those were the days!!!!
Their musical high point
To be honest, I don't own the remastered version of this CD with the added tracks. This review is based on the original album, which I have owned in vinyl and CD form. I couldn't find the original CD on amazon.com (I assume it's out of print), so I'm putting my comments here. I'm doing this because I love the original album.
Earth Wind & Fire was a unique and wonderful funk/rock/jazz band of the 1970s that made several very good albums, but this, in my opinion, was their musical high point. Unlike their later albums, which were more disco-y and commercial, this one managed to be musically serious yet catchy and accessible at the same time. They successfully combined the pop funk sensibility of groups like the Ohio Players and Sly and the Family Stone with a jazz-influenced instrumental sophistication all their own.
"Shining Star" and "Yearnin, Learnin" are strong funky grooves that make you want to dance. "All About Love" and "Reasons" are very different but sentimental ballads. "Africano" and "See the Light" are melodically infectious funk/jazz numbers. "Happy Feelin" is an upbeat ode to life featuring Caribbean kalimba music. But my favorite song is the title track, "That's the Way of the World," a mid-tempo groove featuring sharp lead guitar work as well as lead vocal. This CD definitely stands the test of time as a classic of its era.
