-
MojoJean's sonic scope is breathtaking, complemented by imaginative lyrics. [Dec 2007, p.102]
-
Village VoiceJust when Carnival II begins to feel comfortable in hip hop, Paul Simon hops onto the mournful 'Fast Car' and a massive Bollywood ensemble powers the roiling 'Immigrant.' [Dec 2007, p.108]

Entertainment WeeklySuch transcendent moments are rare on the exhuasting Vol. II. [7 Dec 2007, p.76]

-
The former Fugee throws hip-hop, reggae, synth pop, and heavy metal into his trademark melting pot with little worry that the results might not blend. [Jan 2008, p.98]
