This album isn't bad, but the problem is that it's not particularly good either. While the orchestrations are pretty nice and Seal's voice is in top form as usual, it lacks the lyrical depth of the songs on his second album. Now, most R&B albums aren't high on good lyrics, but 'Crazy', 'Kiss from a Rose', 'Prayer for the Dying,' etc. all had fantastic (if a little eccentric) lyrics, if only from an imagistic point of view. Consider "Princess" from Human Being: "The princess and the liar / Her dress is catchin' fire / Daddy's little lemon ain't / all she's meant to be." What? What kind of images are those? Still an enjoyable listen. 3/5 stars.More "Human Being" reviews:
