The ambitions of Earth, Wind & Fire only increased after their stellar debut, and the group brought an abstract sense of composition to their sophomore record, The Need of Love. The opener, a ten-minute piece named 'Energy,' is proof enough, with several extended passages inspired by everything from free jazz as well as in-the-pocket funk like Kool & the Gang. The next song up, 'Beauty' is also positive and intriguing, though in an overly similar groove as 'Fan the Fire' from the first album. The closer, a cover of Donny Hathaway's gloriously funky 'Everything Is Everything,' does justice to the original (and that's saying a lot). Compared to the debut, The Need of Love lacks a sense of exuberance as well as a passel of solid songs and performances.
