    [Security] delivers a treasure trove of eclectic beats, energetic sounds, political musings and agreeable voices that come together in a perfect musical statement. [Mar 2007, p.96]

    Security delivers more epic, horn-thrusted, and tightly woven songs to launch booty into duty.

    The band’s fourth album turns down the roiling boil of 2004’s What Is This America? to a seductive simmer.

    This is a great album, the musicians are wonderful and the vocals are just right when and how it's needed, every person who loves good music should listen at least to Filibuster X, Sanctuary, I.C.E. and Age, but really this album has no waste, it's good to know that there are bands in this world aiming to make quality music. Kudos to Antibalas, one of the best bands I've heard in a while… Expand
