Think the point Chrissie is trying to make here is that he is undoubtably a genius, no question, but he has lacked S-O-U-L for some years, his SITKOL and Innervisions albums are all very well made but lack that cutting soulful edge, I didn't expect him to stick to his 60s style as it was obvious he was way ahead of the pack, but his latter albums had too many political theme's for me and as I stated is a pseudos fave, I don't dislike him but feel his stuff from around 72 wasn't to my taste,
Just my opinion of course!
