Title: Ben Harper does it again
Product review: I will start of by saying that this album is probably his third best, behind Fight For Your Mind and Will To Live. However, I consider those two albums to be among the best in my collection, so that 3rd place ranking doesn't really mean anything negative. The variety of genres that this album reaches, shows the amazing musicianship that Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals have. Lyrically this is yet another amazing piece of work by Ben. Bob Dylan and Paul Simon are the two best lyricists I have ever hear, but Ben Harper is in my top five. This album has a lot of songs dealing with spirituality/religion, as well as a love motif running throughout. People say that this is a more mainstream album when compare to Ben's other albums. I wouldn't say that it is more mainstream than Burn To Shine, in fact, it is less 'pop'. And, if this is the direction mainstream music is headed, then I'm all for the change. Peace.
