Title: a surprisingly lackluster album
Product review: I consider myself to be a big fan of Ben Harper, have all of his albums and love his live shows. However, this album was a major disappointment. The fact that it deviates from the jamming style of his live performances is not the deciding factor; compared with his other works, it lacks originality in theme, lyrics, and style and simply sounds disjointed. Even more disappointing is the song "Touch From Your Lust," an excellent song live but one which sounds terribly amateurish and botched on the album. If you haven't heard the live version of this song you're missing out. Though not necessarily a bad thing, this album is not characteristic of Harper's usual work, and I recommend any of his other albums over this one.
