    Dazzling songs, dismally sung.

    The success of the album is ultimately dependent on the listener's familiarity with the original songs.

    Some of the best covers here are of less overtly politicized Dylan songs. [Feb 2012, p.95]

    The interpretations range from the admirable to the abysmal.

    Revelation and humor are in as short supply as hip-hop; instead, you get a good catchall for a great cause, with head-scratchers and surprises side by side.

    A largely redundant – and frequently downright woeful – endeavour.
