    Love the saved by the bell stuff on lark on a go cart,who knows if the whole internet rapper thing will last though.Charels Hamilton and Wale are already a little bit stale to me.Overall I had to skip a few songs due to bordom but not bad a good summer album I give an 8.

    I think that this cd is a wasted opportunity. From those who heard his mixtape and other freestyles and stuff knows that this guy has talent. But it seems like that he tried to hard to please everybody with this album...Not a bad album just a disappointing one.

    Asher's album is out as of 4/20 The lyrics are relatable, real, creative, but lacking at time, his hooks/chorus' didn't do him too much justice.. though he uses experimental approaches i find interest in [blunt crusin]. Was hoping for some higher named features[kanye? pharrell?]. You can hear his appreciation for the music witch I admire[His Dream/The Reading] Has a good Asher's album is out as of 4/20 The lyrics are relatable, real, creative, but lacking at time, his hooks/chorus' didn't do him too much justice.. though he uses experimental approaches i find interest in [blunt crusin].

    Witty? Seriously? A majority of his rhymes are done for the SAKE of rhyming, not a flowing concept. This guy is a hack, and he's turning into the creepy guy lurking at college parties wishing to relive those years of pretending responsibility doesn't exist.

    Catchy Suburban White - Boy Rap.. Solid fun from start to finish.

    This CD is terrible. He rhymes a bunch of random things together that makes absolutely no sense at all. He doesn't sing or rap, he just talks to terrible "beats". No talent at all. Most of all, he has no flow or rhythm.

    I have mad respect for Asher Roth. The Greenhouse Effect, Seared Foie Gras and Pabst & Jazz are all classics in my book. And asleep in the bread aisle does not show Asher's ability at all. As I Em, Lark on my Go Kart, and Fallin are my faves.

    Asleep in the Bread Isle is an everyday suburban rap album, if there is such a thing.

    Roth never floats sham tales of suburban hardship here. Instead, he just wants to have a good time--and for the most part, he provides one as well.

    The effortlessly cool beats, hooky choruses, and above all, his witty, super-fast flow indicate this skinny blond to be a genuinely talented star.
