MicahHMay 6, 2009Great sound. Rock and roll at it's best. Different sound, but same ol Ben Harper. Gotta love it!

JamesMMay 16, 2009When few rock bands are able to inspire with hard, edgy, and thoughtful music, Ben Harper comes to the rescue. This is a throwback to the late 60's energy of Zeppelin and Cream. Those who find fault with this album take themselves way too seriously. These are great musicians giving us a gift of unfiltered, raw rock 'n roll. Enjoy this gem for what it is.

davidMay 5, 2009I've listened to Ben Harper for years, and I think it is his best effort yet. R7 is, indeed, top notch and generally kick ass. Some of the critics simply wish they could make music this good.

DestroyerCMay 5, 2009Best studio album he has ever put out. The best rock album in a long time. The critics are way off on this, no way it should get anything below a 70.

This is the record that finally matches the excitement Harper generates in a live setting and is not to be missed.
-
Harper leaves a few arrows unstrung from his deep musical quiver here, but the ones he fires all seem to hit their mark.
-
The result is a restless hybrid that never completely settles into the groove that has defined the singer and guitarist's best albums.
