"Other than a few tracks here and there on his other albums, this is the only Wyclef Jean solo work that is worth listening to. Please trust me; I went through a Wyclef Jean phase in high school while others were having their pop punk phases, and I listened to most of his discography. It has not a..." [+] Reply

"This album is humanity on a good day: little ado on variations of stuff, and then at the end they just throw a party with mariachi music and shit. Jim O'Rourke is a genius" Reply

"An unexpected album. Food for the party. Really worth a listen just for 'All I Want to Do Is Rock' and 'Tied to the 90's'. Me wonders why they changed their ways so fast afterwards." Reply
