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.
