Customer Reviews:

Very refreshing.......2005-07-06

Some moments on this cd are pretty good, and others are great. "Verbalicious" gives me the goosebumps everytime I hear it: "The soul is just a tunnel that the music passes through". Wow.

I also love Showtime at Night for the slamming pseudo-hard rock dynamics in there, and Back in 86 for its earnest and open psychedelic-jam vibe that I get from it.

If you like funk, hip-hop, and jazz, pick this up. And then seem em live! They're just that good of a band that this cd doesn't do justice to their live experience, but at least after getting this, you'll know all the words.
