Free Music Review: Do not buy! Do not buy!
Hit: 1 Stars
The amazing thing is that Iz survives the cheezy obviously-computer-generated orchestrations dubbed incongruously onto his music. It adds nothing, yet is unable to destroy the soul of the music. That is almost a reason to buy the CD, just to witness this, but then the producer would get money, which he should not get. Like the first time I heard the White Album as elevator muzak, this is a truely distressing CD. And yet, unlike John, Paul, George, and Ringo, Israel Kamakawiwo`ole survives the humiliating debasement of his music. With all of your might, do not buy this CD. Instead get Facing Future if you are new to his music. Facing Future

Free Music Review: yikes
Hit: 1 Stars
what disrespect the producer of this project shows to Iz, exploiting the man after his death and milking these songs for cash on another release, this time with badly engineered keyboard strings behind many previously released songs. listen close (or read about it in the 33 1/3 book) and you will hear (choke) auto-tune on Iz's vocals. talk about removing all the charm out of the original, wow! if you asked me I would say do not buy this CD.Free Music Review: Shame on de Mello!
Hit: 1 Stars
I understand the marketing side of wanting to expand IZ's presence (and get more dollars), but shame on de Mello for insulting Hawaiians and all that IZ stands for. The orchestra add-on was way overdone in my opinion... if you're into "The Little Mermaid" sound, then this is probably for you, but if you're looking for more of IZ's sweet voice and beautiful, clean sounds of ukulele, don't bother buying this CD. You'll be disappointed.Free Music Review: IS not IZ
Hit: 1 Stars
If you are a fan of IZ, as I am, I don't recommend this CD. The syrupy orchestral arrangements here take his simple, beautiful music and turn it into something that is not IZ. I am just speaking for myself but I could not get through this CD. It made me feel sad which is something his music never does.
PS: This wonderful promo video has nothing to do with the music on this CD.
Free Music Review: Disgraceful... SHAME ON MOUNTAIN APPLE COMPANY!
Hit: 1 Stars
I can't believe that they did this to IZ's recordings. I've never felt so disappointed in my life. The vocals are over-processed and echo-y, and the orchestral arrangements are a complete mess. To release crap like this is completely disrespectful to to IZ's legacy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ALBUM. DO NOT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM.
