Apr 19, 2013This debut offering as Snoop Lion has much to recommend it, not least the infectious grooves devised by Diplo's Major Lazer production team.
-
Entertainment WeeklyApr 26, 2013Reincarnated does have its half-baked moments, though--this is still Snoop, after all. [3 May 2013, p.63]
-
Apr 24, 2013Reincarnated stands as an enjoyable pop record laced with an assortment of roots and dancehall reggae references.
-
Apr 19, 2013There's a winning sincerity to his sunny jams extolling peace, love and gun control; even the weed anthems feel less phoned-in than usual.
-
MojoJun 18, 2013Reincarnated is not the usual Dogg's dinner, nor is it a roaring revelation. [Jul 2013, p.85]
-
May 24, 2013As it stands, the album has some decent songs but doesn't hold together as an album.
-
Apr 25, 2013Uneven though sometimes enjoyable, Reincarnated is surprisingly better than expected.
-
Apr 24, 2013His immersion in Rastafarianism has produced a middling album, at best.
-
Apr 19, 2013Mostly this is a gimmicky album with ill-fitting techno and electro influences on plastic, poppy songs.
-
Apr 29, 2013The musical results feel more like a touristy package holiday through Jamaican dub history.
-
Apr 25, 2013Executive produced by Major Lazer, the affair is an approachable relative to Jamaican roots and dancehall.
-
Apr 24, 2013Too much of it is an ill-advised cultural safari that’s too weird to fly but too monied to fail. But where it succeeds, Reincarnated forces you to forget the principal ridiculousness of the enterprise, and that is no small feat.
-
Apr 22, 2013Reincarnated the album is all heart and heart-in-the-right-place, threatening to mash up the system without ever even harshing the mellow.
-
May 2, 2013Like Snoop’s documentary of the same name, Reincarnated has its moments but needs an editor.
-
Apr 24, 2013Snoop's sing-song flow might seem ideal for pop-reggae, but he disappears into the background of his own album.
-
Apr 23, 2013Intentions may have been good, but the result smacks of carpetbagging.
-
Apr 22, 2013The Diplo-directed record is a somewhat sloppy mish-mash of reggae cuts that rarely attain an authentic air.
-
Apr 22, 2013At its best, this album is nothing more than a passable appropriation of pop reggae in 2013.
-
Apr 22, 2013Snoop has some way to go as a conscious voice before he convinces anyone that he is the reincarnation of Bob Marley.
-
Apr 19, 2013As a pop-reggae album it's patchily OK; as an addition to the canon of righteous Rastafarian spiritual music, it's profoundly unconvincing and a bit insulting.
-
Nov 7, 2013The onetime rapper's new foray into Lionism deviates so far from the norm that its proprietor's been edged out, melded into a nonconfrontational reggae singer whose drops can't muster a single memorable moment.
-
Apr 24, 2013It ranks at or near the top of vexing choices made by once-platinum artists, full of lazy, half-baked pablum that does more harm to Snoop Lion than good for others.
