Free Music Notes for The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
Free Music Review: great. . . the 1st time anyway.
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this album when it was online only and loved it. But then decided I wanted a hard copy. Mistake! I already had 2 of the additional tracks and got nothing by buying it again. If you already have the original realase, don't bother.Free Music Review: A great Saul Williams entry
Hit: 4 Stars
If you like Saul Williams already, you'll like this album. If you like Trent Reznor produced albums, you'll like this album. If you like heavy beats and political messages about gov't and race, you'll like this album.Free Music Review: Sounds exactly like what you'd expect
Hit: 3 Stars
If you like the idea of a bunch of nine inch nails tracks with Saul Williams as the vocalist, then you will love this cd.
I have great affection and respect for Saul Williams and Trent Reznor, but the best parts of each one's style are muddied and lost collaboratively. There are songs where you can't tell if its Williams or Reznor singing, but then you realize it doesn't really make a difference.
I loved Saul Williams self titled album, and Amethyst Rockstar was good, but this isn't even in the same class.
The final verdict: if you want another Nine Inch Nails album, this is another fine addition to the collection.
Free Music Review: Ehh...Not as good as previous albums
Hit: 3 Stars
I recently started listening to Saul Williams on the suggestion of a friend. I really liked the self titled Album but this one sounds too much like Nine Inch Nails to me. I have been a huge NIN fan for years and I can't help but feel these songs are Nine Inch Nails songs, with someone other than Trent singing. Songs like Banged and Blowing through simply sound like something that should be on a Nine Inch Nails album. I would rather hear him rap.Free Music Review: Overreaching ambitions
Hit: 2 Stars
2 1/2
This alternative hip hop project offers little more then the indulgent, experimental vibe present throughout these rap canvases. Unfortunately, Williams seems too preoccupied with fleshing out these tracks into full-fledged songs instead of embracing the chaotic fury his best freestyling indicates. In the end, aside from a few tracks which indicate how powerful this potential coupling could have been, the album plays out as Reznor's hip hop side project.
