Michael Franti & Spearhead – All Rebel Rockers Reviewed by Sadie O., 8/4/08 Reggae/hard rock/folky stuff, political/love/party lyrics – what you expect from Michael Franti, produced by Sly & Robbie. Typically diverse sound, so different people will find different numbers more to their tastes. Possible single FCC on track 5. I like 2, 8, 10 best. 1. 4:21 ***classic slow dubby skank, vocal harmonies, thick sound. Long fade. 2. 4:19 ****uptempo and upbeat one-drop, political lyrics. Additional female dancehall vocals. 3. 3:54 **downtempo skank, Franti’s gruff chanting. Reality lyrics. 4. 4:17 ***swingy hard rock with hand-clap beat, anthemic chorus. 5. 5:01 FCC? Printed lyrics say “frickin beautiful”… **gloopy noises, then minimalist dubby riddim, rather odd love song. 6. 3:56 ***somewhere between 50’s rock and roll and the classic Franti chant, another love song. 7. 4:13 **longish intro, then very sweet bouncy uptempo skank, almost calypso, gentle – another love song. Three love songs with completely different moods. 8. 4:12 ****female dancehall intro, forceful downtempo drums and chants, builds. Oddly, reminds me of Tom Tom Club. Grows on you… 9. 4:09 *folky acoustic, pretty, sad. 10. 4:38 ****half arena rock and half dubby skank, political diatribe. Classic Franti – and when he’s on, his lyrics kill. 11. 4:02 *relaxed slinky disco groove, breathy lyrics, feat. Zap Mama. 12. 3:53 *acoustic guitar, downtempo and relaxed. 13. 3:54 *very low key relaxed sway, quiet and breathy. | ||
