It isn't as accessible as Brown Sugar, but I understand that it wasn't designed to be. Also looking for a 2005 press of Demon Days (Gorillaz) if you hear anything but no price offer at the moment. Anyways, one of the huge complaints brought up against this album is that some of the tracks are too long without develop or changing enough to validate that length.

You can jump into any random track and it sounds fantastic but as a cohesive album it sounds even better. I love this album so much. For my money, the album's secret weapon is Mr. Pino Palladino.

I don't really respect Rolling Stone's opinions anymore but I'm glad they led me to Voodoo. like you said you had to start with Untitled. After 2000’s Voodoo, D’Angelo virtually disappeared until the 2014 release of Black Messiah, another universally acclaimed record with a new-look It's fucking phenomenal and I love this album and D'Angelo. D’Angelo has called Voodoo — the follow-up that he spent three years making — a groove-based record. Honestly, and since the first listen, this album can do no wrong for me. D'Angelo established himself as an unwitting founder and leading light of the late-'90s neo-soul movement, which aimed to bring the organic flavor of classic R&B back to the hip-hop age. It's one that I can always go back to. I can admit to admiring that Voodoo is full of so many unconventional touches (from the songs' length to the interstitial fragments to the "false" starts, etc., etc., etc.). He goes 5 -10 years in-between albums, but theyre powerful enough to last a decade. I listen to it at work, in the car, at bedtime...I'm hardly ever in the wrong mood to hear it. Every time I listen to this album it feels like I have to suffer through this track, they throw background singers, yells, and horns over the top, but the base groove just plays through for 7 minutes uninterrupted, and its super grating. D'Angelo's vocals were probably my favourite part about this album. Untitled, Chicken Grease, Send It On, One Mo' Gin, Devil's Pie, Playa Playa, Feel Like Makin' Love, The Line, Spanish Joint, soooo many incredible songs. I can put someone on this album today and I guarantee they'd enjoy it, same for 20 years from now. Wouldn't let it finish. I've said this before, but I believe that the journey from "I don't get this." It's really, really difficult. Absolutely brilliant, I'm so glad I did. I'm not used to live bands, I'm not used to drunken grooves, I'm not used to things that haven't been done to death. D’Angelo, real name is Michael Eugene Archer is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer.Came to the fore after his debut solo album, “Brown Sugar” sold more than 2 million copies. Upon its release, Voodoo received general acclaim from music critics and earned D'Angelo several accolades. D’Angelo has long been known to drop out of the public eye between projects. Happy memories, lonely nights, coming of age to manhood.. man it takes me back.. turns out calling ellen degeneres a psychopath was the least of her troublesmain channel: https://youtube.com/dangelowallace/ Reminds me of Sade altho the most recent one (which was released a decade ago and was the first one in a decade then Lmao) seemed like a rare step down in quality but that's probably just bc they're getting older. I like Black Messiah a lot and already know I'll grow to absolutely love it, but I don't know if I can ever love it as much as I love this, because there are few albums that have been played so many times and still leave me in amazement every time. Produced primarily by the singer, Voodoo features a loose, groove-based funk sound and serves as a departure from the more conventional song structure of his debut album, Brown Sugar (1995).
