CD Reviews

Kinda cheesy, kinda silly, kinda fun
Hansol Lee | 11/29/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is what Thievery Corporation would sound like if they decided to go crazy with the Indian sound. A couple of the tracks are so silly that they made me laugh out loud, and I can't imagine listening to this CD more than once a week, but it's still a lot of fun overall. You very much need to be in the right mood to enjoy this.



While I personally wouldn't shell out twenty bucks for this, I would definitely recommend it to those feeling adventurous -- especially if you can find it cheap or borrow a copy from a friend."
