Une voix plus éraillée sur cet album, on pense d’ailleurs à la meilleur période de Léonard Cohen sur des morceaux comme « I’m New Here ». Gil Scott-Heron sort cet album après un passage en prison, le ton est grave mais tellement beau, s’armant de percussions ralenties, de violons douloureux et de quelques son électroniques qui maintiennent une tension tout au long de l’opus, le blues se retrouve partout dans cet album sous diverses facettes.
