    There is a bounty of rare material, none of which should ever be inaccessible again.

    There's power in these grooves, but there's a message too, and it spells a better day for everyone.

    Mostly as enjoyable as it is edifying from start to finish, the program repeatedly underscores that without artistry of expression, associative anger and the demonizing of one's enemy, however righteous, rarely lead to lasting empowerment for a person or a people.

    by focusing on the range of music inspired by this movement, Listen, Whitey! allows so much of the confusion, outrage, anger, emotion, humor, and even optimism of this music to resonate anew.

    Listen, Whitey is as much about how voices resonate--about the power of the right words, about how the most powerful weapon in a revolution may be a microphone or recording equipment--as it is about what they say.

    Listen, Whitey! seethes with righteous anger and revolutionary determination.
  9. The results can be more interesting than listenable – and the musical contents do seem wilfully random.
