"Heavy, deep, raw soul from Charles Bradley, a funk legend backed by the unbelievably-retro sounding Menahan Street Band. "This World (Is Going Up In Flames)" might be the best track yet from Bradley. (Which is saying a lot, because his prior 45 with the Bullets, "This Love Ain't Big Enough for the Two of Us," was explosive.) With backing by the Gospel Queens, the groove is dark and hazy, given a deeper feel thanks to some piano in the mix, with a rubbery bass line. As Charles bares down with his first wrenching moan, it is clear that this is not going to be a record made of empty gestures." (Courtesy dustygroove.com)
