It doesn't work

A. MCCALL | HI | 03/05/2010

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I give this 2 stars only for originality. I don't usually write bad reviews, but everything I read about this album is hype, and sorry to say, this album just isn't "it". If every track bore a similarity to Meditation on Eligh's Poltergeist album, which also featured Jo Wilkenson, we'd have a really cool hip hop album. I truly respect Eligh as an artist, and have for a long time, but this particular collaboration doesn't work. I can't say I'm much of a Folk fan, and maybe it's my narrow appreciation that makes me cringe whenever a song comes up from this album when I have my collection on random, but I don't think so. Hip Hop is versatile enough to work with a lot of different types of music, be it jazz, rock, I've even heard it work with heavy metal, but I don't think the combination of folk and hip hop blend well. And sorry to be harsh, but Jo Wilkenson sucks as a vocalist, at least on this album. I apologize for the lack of respect, but somebody had to put the truth out there."
