Listener Reviews & Comments
One of the reviewers below needs to open his mind quite a bit, it seems... for to dismiss Galactic's most recent effort as simply a "rap" album is to do the band a great disservice. This isn't "rap", but hip-hop in the most classic sense of the word. I've always felt that Galactic's dynamic grooves would be complimented by talented MCs, and the group has selected some of the finest in underground hip-hop to collaborate with. Lyrics Born, Ohmega Watts, and Lateef (among others) bring their A-game to the table, and the result is an explosive funk/rock/hip-hop fusion that hasn't been seen since the heyday of The Roots. My only (tiny) issue here is that the instrumentals are too short (some only amount to skits), and the album could have been rounded out nicely by their expansion, or perhaps by the inclusion of more of the ensemble's signature songs, like "Tuff Love". Five stars to Galactic for bringing some class back to hip-hop, and also for rising above their oft-perceived status as a mere jam band... they are clearly so much more than that.
