    Quite disappointing. As a big fan of Franti's life work, I couldn't wait to hear what he will come up with after the recording sessions in Jamaica with Sly and Robbie on the production and several reggae artists featuring. I expected an improved and more concious Damian Marley. But what came out was a diulted version of the old Franti. Disappointing lyrically and especially musically.

    It's easily Franti's best album yet.

    [Franti's] ambitions pay off on this strapping, if sprawling, collection.
