This one is on my 'to-get' list - Stevie was on FIRE at this point. His 70s stuff seems unstoppable. Even the meandering, experimental "Journey through the life of plants" soundtrack pulses with creativity.
This album features some of the nastiest funk grooves known to man ("Superstition", "Maybe your baby") interspersed with beautiful heartfelt ballads ("I believe that when I fall in love", "You and I (together we can conquer the world)") and a range of more mid-tempo songs, including folky, almost world-music rhythm of "big brother".
According to the book, Stevie was going through a breakup at the time... breakups do seem to make for great albums, but then it's not like Stevie needed help with his creativity back then.
