Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 5 stars for 5.......2001-12-03

Lenny Kravitz is definitely one of the best and most important musicians of our time. 5 is just one prove of that. His style is an original mix of new influences, 60's and 70's rock and soul, and also hip hop.
5 starts with Live, which takes you straight to the feeling. THIS is what this record is all about. SuperSoulFighter just makes it better. Then comes the first slowish one, I Belong To You. And all the time it just gets better and better. The beautiful ending with Can We Find A Reason makes it... perfect.
The record has many faces, love the lyrics and the sounds. Kravitz plays almost all the instruments by himself, and uses for example "Green Heineken Bottles" to make the sound more interesting. By far it's the best of Kravitz's albums. And if you want something extra, go on and by the version with American Woman and Without You. Both worth listening.

2 out of 5 stars How can anyone really like this s**t!!!???!!!.......2000-10-02

One of the most embaressing things I have admitted in public is relevant... ok... here we go... I own Lenny Kravitz's album "5". I bought this cd when I was 15 and I tried to expand my taste into more mature music. But it sure didn't get any mature after buying this one!!! Ok, Lenny plays almost every instrument himself. SO WHAT!?! It's rather small credit compared to the fact that his songs are almost identical plagiations from the 70's disco, r&b and funk. Sheer dissappointment. The extra star goes to the merely interesting vision of the lyrics in "Black Velveteen"... Stupid, stupid ...

3 out of 5 stars Not Quite up to Kravitz's standards.......1999-08-28

I have to give credit to Lenny Kravitz for creating a good blend of soulful vocals and hard rock guitars, however, I wasnt too interested in most of the songs on the album. I found most to be kinda BAD. Fly away is good though.k
