    A quick dozen tunes happily unconcerned with mass appeal. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.95]

    Another strong batch of songs that are as entertaining as they are thought-provoking. [6 Dec 2005]

    His agile attack still lacks Jigga's precision, 50's swagger, or Kanye's cocky confessionalism. [Jan 2006, p.92]

    Kweli expends most of his considerable lyrical talent touting his considerable lyrical talent. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.94]

    Y'all reviewers are dumbfucks. Kweli spits out game like no otha, he's got substance to go along with style and lyrical flow. The beats are dope, and I say this is actually better than KWest's Late Registration. Right about now contends for album of the year.… Expand

    Good, but not great. The album starts out strong. The middle is pretty good. But the last 3 songs are absolute stinkers.

    Good album. I didn't like beautiful struggle so much and except of "The Blast" reflection eternal wasn't so special either. This album has some good power songs. Check out "Blackstar" with DJ Hi-Tek for some more excellent work.… Expand
