Fantastic, Spearhead fans will love this. Follows in the tradition of other Spearhead albums without sounding like more of the same. Sexy, chilled out hip hop and with a positive message. Thought provoking lyrics (included in the cover)promoting peace, no-one could feel down listening to "love invincible". I'd recommend this to anyone.

Uhhh...no1
The previous reviewer is soooo mistaken. I have loved everything Spearhead/Michael Franti/Disposable Heroes have ever done...until now.

This is, hands down, the worst piece of crap I've made the mistake of buying in a long, long time. This is simply not worthy of Spearhead. I don't even know why it was released. With the exception of "Bomb the World," there are zero, count 'em zero, decent songs on the album.

Gone are the banging beats. Gone is the experimentation. Gone is the anger, intelligence and outspokeness that has characterized all of Franti's past work.

Basically, this album consists almost entirely of weak pop beats, ballads and soft, inane lyrics. This marks the pussification of Spearhead. Knowing the political climate we live in today and knowing the political bent of Franti, I'm just stunned that this is the best he could muster. Where the hell is the outrage? Damn it, now, more than ever, we need musicians that have something intelligent to say, to say it. Given Franti's past, I expected more. This crap could have been done by Mandy Moore. For God's sake even Paris, who has put out utter garbage for the last few years, relocated his balls and recently put out something with fire and passion (very good album, by the way).

Anyway, I digress. I'm not saying all musicians have to say something, but if you base your entire career on making strong political and social statements, as Spearhead has, then you can't cop out just when you're needed most. Plus, what the hell happened to the beats?

From Mud To Sunshine5
I saw Michael Franti at a 4-days music festical in Denmark with about 160 bands. It had been raining from monday to sunday, where he should perform before a bit of a depressed audience. But when he took the stage, the sun came out and he totally changed the muddy mood to a loving hippie "let's hug each other" mood. He spoke some very important words against Bush before singing Bomb The World, and he gave a good speech against the wall in Palestina.

A very cool guy with a very cool band, who's lyrics are intelligent and moving. He has to be seen live, so if you get the oppurtunity to go to one of their shows, GO!
