That's the Way of the World

    That's the Way of the World, Earth, Wind & Fire's sixth album, really showcases why they're an iconic soul/funk group. This album, serving as the bands initial big breakthrough hit, is an excellently crafted piece of work. The composition in these songs is great, both for the funky chart topping type songs and the slower ballads. There's not much that I can say to really explain how good it is; it's Earth, Wind, & Fire, you've heard them before and know that they're good. And the vocal performances are just phenomenal as well (Maurice White has just an amazing voice, especially in his falsetto). I really wish that I had more to say about the album, but my thoughts just boil down to "it's really good and all of its elements are great without anything that I can find much fault in". It's very high within its number ranking, but just shy of crossing the line to the next one.
