The O'Jays - The Last Word -The Last Album

i really enjoyed this new and final album. The songs, production and deliver are spot on. The lyrics are still considering life today. A short but fitting final album. Start Stoppin' has the classic UK appreciated style. 

There is an excellent 5 star review of this O'Jays album here https://www.soulandjazzandfunk.com/reviews/6150-the-ojays-the-last-word-bmgs-curve.html

how good is that? crackin' track

I stopped buying O'Jays albums after "Heartbreaker". Despite the fact the track "Trouble" sounds good I miss the big band sound and the special mixture of rock, soul and gospel  we can appreciate on "Ship Ahoy" and "Survival" classic PIR albums. The samples I have hear by this last album do not convinced me, I admit the sound is more "organic", with real instruments, I appreciate the social concerned lyrics, but is not enough for a symphonic - big band soul funk lover as I am… Perhaps when I can hear some tracks more times and the entire length of every one...
