"Behind the ordinary title track lays a collection of sublime, melancholic pop songs. A rich bounty to plunder and perhaps one of the albums of tbe decade." Reply
"It's not the best mash-up album out there. It might not even be the best one released in that year (I think American Edit came out the same year.)

"Excellent album with a more acoustic feel. Psychedelia hasn’t arrived yet but you can hear the direction Donovan will head in." Reply
"The production and samples are tight. Check out the laid-back guitar-lick sample on "pyrex vision" or cooing woos on "new wu". (the opening "have mercy" sample reminds me of messiah's "21st century jesus".) The delivery is often commanding and in-your-face like opening song "house of flying dagge..." [+] Reply

"This album is an incredible, emotionally charged roller-coaster that certainly isn't afraid to take you on a ride. Its as if you can feel the emotion seeping out of the vocalists soul, and there is absolutely no passion missing instrumentally. If you're looking for an album that really makes you ..." [+] Reply
"So I've given it a bit more time and attention. The highs became really high and the lows turned out to be growers/slow burners I wasn't in the mood for. Fantastic, even if a bit less energetic." Reply

"beautiful and light dream pop/noise pop with a hint of shoegaze. maybe it doesn't have those Big Hits but it's consistent and very enjoyable." Reply

"Sacramento duo Blackalicious is fronted by one of the most underrated MC's in the business, Gift of Gab, whose raps are jam-packed with internal rhymes, allusions, metaphors, ten-cent words, and amazing tongue-twisting feats of skill. Blazing Arrow, one of the richest, most captivating albums eve..." [+] Reply
