A Great Little Pop Record

"First off, I just have to say that "All the People" is a TOTAL [copy] the song "Soulsville" by Issac Hayes. But that's not exactly a bad thing. Overall, the album is an excellent collection of pop ditties and instrumentals. I bought this CD knowing a little bit about his work with the Beastie Boys, but Money Mark is an even better solo artist, making each song sound fresh and interesting. A lot of critics note the artist's variety in instrumentaton and genres, but his work is never incoherent or overbearing to the listener. I play this album on lazy afternoons and night drives, sometimes back-to-back. I don't think I'll get tired of this album anytime soon."

Some of the grooviest music you never heard

"Money Mark's first album is an introduction of a talented member of a band (Beastie Boys) doing his "own thing." I can't really describe it as being one genre. Mark did many things on this album, it's half instrumental, and half pop and blues songs. I like the whole album, but I skip through the songs depending on the mood I'm in. It's a gem in my collection of over 300 cd's. If you're just totally into Beastie Boys, you'll probably not like this album, but if you have an open mind for blues, old school groove, and instumentals, you might find this is an album worth adding to your collection."
