get me wrong but it's not hitting me like Voodoo. I'm at an age where I can appreciate artistic integrity and yada yada but I *BOUGHT* the album listened to it while at work like everyone else did the following day...

Then I listened to Al Green's greatest hits and realized that I should be able to sing along with a supposed great album. I want my great artist to make music I can sing along to. This D'angelo album has me at my desk mumbling along to it makin' folks that aren't in the know to believe that I'm humming slave chants and spirituals at my desk. (I work around mid 40-ish non blacks that likely think I'm starting some personal Ferguson protest)

But I know the D'angelo album is good or rather I want to believe it's good based on all of the live shows I've seen on youtube the past two years (i.e., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgcmRnxoDag)or perhaps I just wanna fall in the trap of believing it's good because I just wanted some released material from him. I really think this album has to be seen performed rather than listened to thru headphones etc.

So yeah at this point, I gotta agree with you on Saddiq.
