5 out of 5 stars Matisyahu: Light. Worth the Ten Bucks   March 4, 2010
Brooks Deryder (Newton, NJ USA)
I have three of Matisyahu's album's, this one def. ranks as the most electronic of the three. Mostly departing from traditional drums, bass, guitar etc. most of the tracks are produced from computers, pro-tools or whatever programs Matis. & the producers use. Not an expert on dance music, but this album ranks up there w/ some of the better stuff I've heard. It sounds a lot like the stuff he did w/ The Crystal Method " Drown in the Now". Def. still hip-hop, but I wouldn't categorize it as reggae.

Matisyahu also departs from his first studio album in terms of content on Light. Most of his previous stuff dealt w/ the Old Testament and religious tales. Light, while every bit as uplifting and positive, seems to deal w/ more everyday issuse in the artists continuing life.

Overall Light is worth every bit of the ten bucks I paid on Amazon to get it and it has been in heavy rotation in my car cd player since I got it. Metta.



3 out of 5 stars Sorry MY, not my cup of tea   March 3, 2010
A. Brunelle (Myrtle Beach, SC)
It was kind of bizarre, don't you think? It wasn't what I was used to. I liked Live at Stubb's by far the best and then Youth had about 4 or 5 good songs on it, but this is just very strange and nothing like what I am used to when it comes to Matisyahu. I wish he would just do live albums because that is where you really hear his passion and voice. All these overproduced studio records that are out today kind of take away from the singer and give power to all these crazy things happening in the background. Smash Lies is a decent song, but I find it to be too busy. The only song that I truly love is One Day. I just find it a little disappointing, but he is just trying to experiment with different styles and grow as an artist and some people will love it. Interesting, but not, as others have referred to him as, "jam band." I wish he would get back to his roots and sing more roots reggae/standard rock, not this muddling of weird noises all put together just to be more different than he already is. Well, I sure hope he wins me back. At least I have 2 other of his albums to listen to that have great tracks on them.

Better luck next time.



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic album!   February 6, 2010
J. MORRISON (Elk Grove, CA USA)
There are no filler tracks on this album. The whole thing is worth a listen. Definitely the best yet of Matisyahu!


5 out of 5 stars Light Awesomeness !!   January 31, 2010
Filip Blank (Kansas City, MO)
This album is a little different from his last "Youth" but still, Matisyahu delivers a solid portion of good lyrics and crazy beats! And listening it on a vinyl makes it even better!


5 out of 5 stars Another great CD from Matisyahu   January 30, 2010

Another fantastic CD, a great CD for road trips or any time you wish to be uplifted.
