Free Music Notes for Arular
Free Music Review: M.I.A.- No Way!
Hit: 1 Stars
If this CD were to be captured- it would not be an M.I.A. that you would go looking for. Save your money and buy a 99 cent toy flute at Walmart to make better music.
Free Music Review: She'll kill you like Uma...
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a well produced album with 2 really outstanding songs: 10 Dollar and Bucky Done Gun. Those 2 songs show an exceptional feel for creating great dance hall songs and I'm looking forward to her next album.
Album of the Year? No, but critics like M.I.A.'s story probably more than her music. She's a minority in Britain who drops a line here and there about politics and her father was a "Tamil revolutionary"..something I read some where. In other words she makes above average music with a cool story to go with it.
Other than the 2 songs mentioned above, the album sounds like a horny little girl playing with a keyboard. Her voice really starts to irritate you and she has an annoying tendency to over-use the word "Hey" or "heyyyyyyy". She's not as original as people say. Her lyrics are pretty original, but her sound is basically a Missy Elliott rip off. Also, she cannot figure out if she's British, Sri Lankan, Jamaican, or American. She's a poseur using ghetto terms and words she learned from watching movies or listening to hip hop. She's like a female Ali G.
Hopefully she can gain some confidence and self respect before she makes more music because she's pretty amazing.
Free Music Review: terrible... absolutely terrible
Hit: 1 Stars
This is quite possibly the absolute worst thing I've ever heard in my entire life. If you're considering buying this CD ,I suggest you go outside, find a construction site, walk up to the guy with the jackhammer, and press your ear to the side of it. If you like how that sounds, then go buy the CD. If not, well.... "Galang," the reggaeton hit, isn't even something to wave a steamy pile of you-know-what at... and the music just goes downhill from there. "bucky done gun" (which doesn't even make any sense as a title) is good for use as a humorous conversation starter, but that just about exhausts its usefulness or likeability... much the same as the rest of the CD.Free Music Review: M.I.A. rocks the house.
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is highly ranked in the metacritics for a very good reason. It's great! If you want to hear fresh and new ways to mix hiphop lyrics and dance sounds you'll love it. Don't listen to anyone who rates this album poorly, it's a top ten of 2005 for sure.Free Music Review: Milli Vanilli redux
Hit: 1 Stars
With the exception of lip-synching, this is an exact replay of Milli Vanilli. Remember that moment? Watching the Milli Vanilli video and saying, "Huh, cool hair, uh, sorta interesting street scenes...wow, this music is really bad." That's MIA: long on concept, trend, style and buzzwords; short on music. Does the world really need another dressed-up exotic with no discernable musical talent who can mouth a few political half-phrases? You be the judge. Vote with your wallet.
p.s. anybody wanna buy a used copy? If not I'm using it for a coaster.
