Free Music Review: Best Yet
Hit: 5 Stars
Just what i needed for a rainy day, a NEW BEN HARPER ALBUM, BEST YET NO DOUBT. He does the whole rainbow, the way only Ben Harper can, with great reggae like MY OWN TWO HANDS, great ballads in varieties of both folk and rock sounds like EVERYTHING and DIAMONDS INSIDE. The album touches other genres as well, from 70's funk to African-style gospel alla Paul Simon, and he does them well. While Ben Harper has always done different styles of music and done them fantastically, he feels less confined by the various genres here. He somehow shines through the music much more consistently on this album and seems more in touch with each of the songs as he sings them. I think unlike previous albums, where three or four tracks clearly stood out from the rest, here ther are legitimately 8-10 GREAT SONGS, depending on your tastes. If you liked Ben Harper before, this is by far his most compelling studio effort. The album breaks manages to maintain and even amplify what has made Ben Harper great till now, while breaking new ground and being original, and it miraculously does this over complete album, with only 2-3 tracks i'd classify as good-mediocre Ben Harper. The rest will shine, you might not like all, but if there aren't at least 5 or 6 songs you LOVE on this album you are not a Ben Harper fan. For people new to Ben Harper, this is the album to get. While some MAY argue that LIVE FROM MARS is more intimate, or that there favourite song was on FIGHT FOR YOUR MIND, I would be surprised to hear anyone say this wasn't his best album yet easily. So if you are interested in the BEST ARTIST OUT THERE, this is the albums to grab for sure. And for everyone who does, and everyone who doesn't too, there is a TOUR coming, with another new light Jack Johnson, coming this year, so COME OUT, and support REAL ARTISTS and people who love their music. Enjoy the Album everyone.

Ben Harper makes elegant leaps from reggae to rock to folk to funk and back in his fifth studio album. The rootsy singer-songwriter with the silken tenor isn't merely genuflecting at the altar of his musical heroes, however. Harper?s first studio album in four years shows more quirky imagination and inventive musicianship than any of his earlier efforts. That said, "Diamonds on the Inside" is painted with the same brush that Bob Dylan used on "I Shall Be Released," but Harper adds his own Biblical aphorisms to make the song his own. Most of the songs display Harper's growth as a poet, as he ponders the dualities of life and love in tunes like the disturbing "Touch from Your Lust" and the disquietingly lyrical "Amen Omen." Harper is compelled to sing what is in his heart and to do what he can to make the world a better place. Witness the Marley-like "With My Own Two Hands." The only misstep on the whole disc is the overly humid orchestration of "When She Believes." --Jaan Uhelszki
