Title: Pretty weak shtick
Product review: If Matisyahu were a black guy, this would be a mediocre pop reggae album circa 1988, and you probably wouldn't even consider buying it. But he is a hasid and capitalizes on this shtick, and somehow we are supposed to think this makes the music sound better. Sure the word "zion" is peppered throughout his lyrics, and there's some psuedo spiritual angle here that offers some redemption, but overall it's pretty weak. His fake jamaican accent, overly produced electronic sound remind me of some bad reggae from way back!
