UrbA quick dozen tunes happily unconcerned with mass appeal. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.95]
-
Los Angeles TimesAnother strong batch of songs that are as entertaining as they are thought-provoking. [6 Dec 2005]
-
SpinHis agile attack still lacks Jigga's precision, 50's swagger, or Kanye's cocky confessionalism. [Jan 2006, p.92]
-
It's highlighted by an invigorated Kweli who's back to his old sound-bombing ways.
-
Fans looking for a return to the focus and cohesion of Black Star and Reflection Eternal will have to keep waiting.
-
Standing out might be the biggest obstacle facing the bulk of Right About Now's 12 tracks. It's significantly shorter than Kweli's best album, Train of Thought, but has far fewer shifts in sound or mood to keep it interesting.

TheHamsFeb 14, 2006Good, but not great. The album starts out strong. The middle is pretty good. But the last 3 songs are absolute stinkers.
