Free Music Notes for Saul Williams
Free Music Review: raw kinetic surreal and enlighting
Hit: 5 Stars
I personally feel that this album is brilliant. Saul is a rare and important voice that is needed in these times. I Found It To Be A Breath Of Fresh Air. From the first listen my jaw hit the floor. I Love Amethist Rockstar, But I Feel That This Album Shows Saul taking A Much More Song-Structred Approach To His Writing, Where With Amethist It was More Rhythmic Poetry. If you're intrested in unique and poetically progressive music that has a significant political and spiritual message than check this out. plus if you miss rage against the machine check out track 4 for a zack de la rocha appearance plus some other nice guests.Free Music Review: "living proof of the fact that God is strange"
Hit: 5 Stars
The most amazing thing about Saul Williams's same title LP, and opposed to its strong rebelling spirit and very political saying, is its honest optimism that lies between bewitched composing and probably the best lyrics I've listen to in years... well, maybe since "Amethyst Rock Star", which I also recommend to own... :)
This "written-word rock" of Williams, if I may, is the best hip-hop style ever, for my humble opinion.
Genius.
AND - no matter what, even if you hate hip-hop or even if you hate music in general... YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE AMAZING "BLACK STACEY"!!!

Free Music Review: Incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
This was by far and away one of the best CDs, lyrically, I have EVER heard in the history of hip hop. Unlike commercial hip hop, you walk away from this album feelin enlightened. It's MUCH better than Amethyst Rock Star, in that the tracks are shorter, less noisy, and the lyrics are TIGHT. It's a lil heavy for the casual hip hop listener at first, but the more you listen the more enjoyable it becomes. I only wish there were more spoken word tracks and less rock tracks.
I'd give it 10 out of 10 lyrically, 6 out of 6 musically
and an 8 overall.
Free Music Review: I hate hip hop, but...
Hit: 5 Stars
The problem with most hip hop is that you can see right through it (If you're semi-intelligent). I only own a few hip hop records, but those I have I listen to quite a lot. I need good lyrics. I need a good mood to it. I'd seen Saul Williams once by accident when he played with The Mars Volta and thought he was kinda retarded. When I heard this, I changed my mind. this is good. It's open-minded, lyrically and musically. I'm giving it 5 stars.Free Music Review: Excellent political statement...
Hit: 5 Stars
this album is simply amazing. just as good if not better than his last record, and more powerful. Saul has outdone himself with the lyrics on this one. Best tracks are "Act III Scene 2" with zach de la rocha adding a couple lines, "List of Demands" and "Black Stacey", but every song is good in its own way. i highly recommend this to anyone who likes political statement records as it doesnt get better than this.
