I. Love. This. CD. Admit it, Seal in love sounds great. "Loneliest Star" is probably one of the best love letters ever written. If you are in love, miss being in love, want to be in love, then this CD wraps up all those feelings.

He is beyond music of this age.

His first three were made with love. Seal IV was kicked forward with an urgency for money. The poet is lost (somewhere)...

As any true fan of Seal's music knows, the man does not make a bad or even mediocre album, and Seal IV is living proof of that. In the end, it boils down to what messages conveyed in music affect you personally, because instrumentally and vocally every track here is enjoyable and inspiring. Unfortunately, the world has been growing a general fear and loathing of expression of sentiment over the past decade or so, so the love and healing themes of most of the lyrics throughout IV probably won't appeal to a large number of people out there which is tragic. However, if you're unafraid and not put off by a positive emotional flow, chances are you'll find most of the tracks rather inspiring, especially "Don't Make Me Wait", which is a personal favorite simply because of it's classic R&B feel, which is missing in today's R&B and pop music. Overall, while not his best album of the quad, it's definitely an extremely good listen and a welcome addition to my CD collection. By the way, if you are looking for his best album, I'd suggest picking up the underrated commercial flop, Human Beings. It was very sad that such an extraordinary album failed to gain public attention.

Thomas A gave it a 9:
Redeem the world with just one sound. You know music has the power to take you to the 4th dimension. Well this one does it. Forget about the lyrics, its music and the intention what makes this holy music.

Ya can't beat this man and his sound!
