Review - :
Finally, after almost half a decade of serious dues-paying, {$Earth, Wind & Fire} took off commercially with its fifth album, {^Open Our Eyes}. {$EWF} had been delivering great albums since 1971, but it wasn't until 1974 that the public proved genuinely receptive to {$Maurice White}'s mystical and unorthodox take on {\soul} and {\funk}. No longer would {$EWF} enjoy only a small cult following. Thanks to treasures like {&"Kalimba Song,"} the gritty {\funk} smoker {&"Mighty Mighty,"} and the unforgettable {&"Devotion,"} {^Open Our Eyes} became {$EWF}'s first gold album and went to the top of the {\R&B} charts. It's also interesting to note that with this album, singer {$Jessica Cleaves} was gone, resulting in the first time {$EWF} had an all-male lineup. The 2001 CD reissue adds four previously unreleased bonus tracks, one of them a {&"Walkin' in N'awlins"} mix of {&"Fair but So Uncool,"} though the other three songs did not appear on the original album in an alternate form. [An import version of the CD includes four bonus tracks.] ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
