2. Amazing! - The new stick figure album is the best one yet! All of the songs sound great loud and the new songs are amazing. Some of my favorites are Old Sunrise, Stepping Stones, Fall into the Sun, Satisfaction Feeling and my most favorite is Sound System. I think it’s very cool that he put multiple crowds from the tour into Smoke Signals, when I was at Red Rocks I had no idea a new song was being played lol. But overall every song is fantastic off of it and take a listen for yourself. You go Scott!

3. Magical…like always. - I had high expectations for this album and [obviously] it exceeded those expectations. Scott’s voice is smooth and beautiful…it’s like pure butter, and it’s full of magical things. His voice his creations otherworldly. His extensive talent in all things music never ceases to amaze me. I listen to this album obsessively. (Well, I listen to Stick Figure in general obsessively lol) A few songs you should check out first if you’re indecisive: Old Sunrise, Edge of the Ocean, and Falling Stars. Falling Stars is the last song on the album and definitely more slow-paced than their usual stuff, but man it’s so beautiful that I could just cry, and I wish more people could hear it. The ocean has held my heart since I was a really young girl, and listening to Stick Figure constantly brings me back to that one special place. Thanks Stick Figure! Thanks Scott!

4. Stick Figure’s new album “Wisdom” - What happiness every time I hear Scott’s voice. New album, Wisdom, as with everyone of his albums, bring so much joy to my soul. Simply bliss. My husband, Terry Peikin, and I are ready to follow your band wherever you tour in and beyond. Just discovered Stick Figure this summer and saw you in Baltimore. We are on the wait list for December.

5. Unbelievably good - This album is at its best as good as anything Stick Figure has released. Scott keeps evolving his sound while staying rooted in the unique sound that makes one instantly grateful and joyful. Stick Figure is the bedrock of our playlist at our Tiki Bar. Keep the tunes coming Stick. So grateful to you!
2022-09-21
6. Can’t stop listening to this album!! - Wisdom is already my favorite album by Stick Figure! I can’t pick a favorite song, every single one is wonderful! My top listens are Stepping Stones, Edge of the Ocean, Paradise, and Smoke Signals. The lyrics to each song are so beautiful and inspiring, I was speechless after the first listen! I wish I’d found this music earlier in life, it’s healed me in many ways over the past . years!
2022-09-19
7. ”Wisdom” indeed.. - Needless to say this album is amazing! Scott Woodruff is so gifted and we are so blessed to experience his creative genius. Every song is so beautiful and never gets old or played out. Well done Scott! I always look forward to what you’ll create next and thank you for sharing your gift with us all!

8. Continuing Positive Growth - Stick Figure has been a vibe from the get. I have been a reggae fan since (Legit) and was absolutely blown away with Stick’s ability to create a soundscape. The consistency in the growth of the band as Stick formed relationships with more and more incredibly talented & like-minded artists has created a sustainable structure. This structure is organically evident in the recently released “Wisdom”. I have shared this album with friends and colleagues during conversation sessions with the same result-every time…Love & Peace enter the room and sustain.
2022-09-18
9. The Album of the Year - This album is legitimately my favorite album released in the last ten years or more. It’s become the soundtrack for any occasion with some of the deepest and most thoughtful lyrics I’ve heard in a long time. Download, purchase, stream, whatever it takes. Just listen to this new album and bring it into your life now

1. Just the Right Vib - I'm coming from Marley, UB, and Steel Pulse to discover today's generation of Reggae stars. Stick Figure is clearly in the top . This is a GREAT album. Listening to Reggae when at the shore, and on those remote islands we tour with warm breeze, my beautiful wife, and stiff drinks sitting nearby. What a way to relax!
2019-05-26
2. One of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard! - There are not many albums that I can listen to from front to back over and over again but this album is absolutely one of them for me. This album has single handedly gotten almost all of my friends AND my parents to join me in listening to Reggae and I couldn’t be more thankful! Great job Stick Figure, A !!

3. Pink Floyd of Reggae - These guys are amazing. It is even more incredible that Scott Woodruff (guitar and lead vocals) actually writes these songs by himself also writing the rest of the music. With the effects used on both guitar and vocals I have moments where I feel like I am listening to a dubbed out Pink Floyd. These guys are also great to see live. They always have their road warrior and companion Cocoa the Dog by their side (and on stage during their set). DEFINITELY check these guys out. They are phenomenal.
2018-05-28
4. Absolute - Maybe I'm partial, being from MA. But Scott Woodruff is putting out the highest quality production of any reggae album in the past years. Calling the musical layering seamless, would be a GROSS understatement. It's easy to see why so many big names in reggae want to hop on a track with stick!!
2016-04-02
5. So, so good! - I discovered Stick Figure by accident while listening to iTunes Radio last year. Since then, I’ve bought several of their albums and have enjoyed them immensely. This new album takes the cake though, the songwriting is better than ever and most of the songs are simply exquisite. You get vibes of relaxation and peace but they’re also upbeat. What an amazing combo!

1. Best Ska Band Ever! - I listen to this album literally every day and Pepper still continues to amaze me. I love the reggae feel of Tradewinds and the more pop-ish feel of Sitting On The Curb and Give It Up. I don't understand how people try to compare Sublime and Pepper. Pepper is a much more mellow band, while Sublime (RIP Bradley Nowell) can get pretty hardcore in some of their songs. Also, I definitely think Kona Town and No Shame are the best Pepper albums. Keep jamming guys!
2011-04-16
2. MMMMM tasty!!! - If you were to look up Awesomness in the dictionary, there would be a picture of this album as Stormtrooper plays, if you have $. and you are looking for awesome reggae look no farther. Download this, CD it, and then go to a PEPPER show and you will have completed everything on your bucketlist. SCHUPPPPP!!!!!!
2010-06-10
3. screw salt. pepper all the way! - Great band, straight from Hawaii. I think this is their best album, and also their most dub/ska-ish album. I'm really into the ska scene with Slightly Stoopid, , Pepper, the Expendables, and of course Sublime (RIP Bradley Nowell). KEEP IT UP. DONT EVER CHANGE. PEPPER FOREVER!!!!!
2010-04-24
4. Pepper's best work - A great album, and IMO Pepper's best work. Solid rock beats, perfectly blended with reggae. Fans of either genre will find something to like here. Some songs like "face plant" are pretty much entirely alt-rock, while songs like "tradewinds" and "stormtrooper" lean more towards reggae in sound. While it's the most popular song on the album, "Give it Up" seems was out of place compared to the rest of the songs with a sudden blast of loud, sex-based lyrics, then it's back to more mellow reggae-rock. A great album, I had never heard of Pepper before I checked out their free iphone app, and now I really dig their sound and have a ton of their songs.
2010-01-22
5. one of pepper - definitly one of pepper's best. Many people who haven't gone out an seen pepper live are really missing out. These guys are truely underrated. Killer reggae beats, great rock vibes, awesome party music! Once you see em live an go back to listnin their cds you remember every moment of their live show, theyve got so much energy...kona town has alot of their staple songs...or i guess mine? Stone love, dry spell, stormtrooper, hos, too much, tongues, office. Gotta check em out...can't wait to see what you guys have in the works for this spring '. Lata!

1. Setting a New Bar - Without a doubt the most complete album produced by Stick to date. Staying true to his overarching and salient message of abiding optimism and positivity - a promiment theme ubiquitious in previous years' recordings, this album embodies his development as both an artist and a humam - or at the very least, his willingness to share this progression with the world. Like any thoughtful artist, the lyrics and composition of World on Fire supply just enough context for the listener to understand the underlying basis of each track (providing what is arguably a deeper, more open glimpse into Stick's, which, seemingly - at least to an extent - represent his own struggles to reconcile with a world that seems to be increasingly more difficult to understand and traverse. On the other hand, there is enough ambiguity in the lyrics to allow the listener the oppportunity to connect in their own way, as the narrative is only halfwritten, and draw upon whatever nexus it is that exists in their life. Like many others, I struggle to reduce raw emotion into constructive, organized thought. So to hear someone who has the gift to transcribe these feelings in such an articulate way is what provides me with a little clarity and even self-awareness. Taking all of the above into account, all I can really say is if there was ever an album for those who seek peace of mind, or find comfort through the affirmation and reassurance inherent in Stick's music, World on Fire is it.

2. Another Amazing Album - Stick Figure music is a life changer. The latest album, World on Fire, is beautiful from beginning to end. The music speaks to my soul. Once in a Lifetime grabbed me in & each song after just sends chills through my body, brings me to tears, makes me want to dance, & smile; it brings all the feels. I love all the albums, and this latest release is more than what I hoped for. Thank you, Scott, for these incredible tracks, & to the band for putting on amazing shows, too. I can’t wait until y’all are back in NorCal on tour. Much love!
2019-09-15
3. Love the Good Vibes - Have been a fan of Stick Figure for almost a decade now. So happy with this lastest album. Keeping on with the good energy, positive vibes and beats to keep my head on straight most days. Absolutey love this music and bought a few CD's to share with friends and introduce them to Stick Figure.
2019-09-10
4. Stick Figure is Life - World On Fire....man, this album is literally the best thing I have heard in a very, very long time. Once In A Lifetime, All For You and Burn The Night are my favorites off this album. If I could have given this album stars, I would have. Scott puts so much of everything into his music and it shows. It will literally bring tears to your eyes. If you arent sure about the album, go purchase one of the songs I mentioned and your life will be forever changed for the better.
2019-09-09
5. AMAZING!!!! - We discovered Stick Figure a few months ago and we are soo hooked!! This album has so many positive songs which is something you don't find enough these days. Angels Above Me is definately my new favorite song. My boyfriend's is probably a tie between World on Fire and Cocoa de Rock (which I also love). I have never bought a digital album of anything before but I love Stick Figure so much this was my first. These guys rock!!!!
2019-09-09
6. World On Fire OUTSTANDING - This album is THE BEST one that Stick Figure has put out so far. No matter what mood you are in, there's a song on this album that will fit it. No matter your age, this sweet sounding reggae style will lift your spirits and leave you feeling loved. I cannot put into words how strongly I recommend you support Stick Figure and purchase this album. You will not be disappointed. Promise! Peace and One Love to all.
2019-09-08
7. My favorite Stick Figure CD/Album so far!!! - Started listening to Stick Figure for at least years now, but this is totally my favorite one so far!! World on fire , Cocoa the rock.... my two higher rated songs but the rest are all just awesome!!! Can’t wait to be seeing them in concert next week up in Massachusetts. Thank you guys another awesome CD/album!!!

1. Very Refreshing - This album is extremely enjoyable. I'll agree that it is somewhat different from their older music, but unlike the new stuff from SOJA and many of the other bands i listen to, this different isn't bad at all. This deluxe version is so great. The fact that they played and produced three version of the same songs, gave each version its own character, shows the versatility that Rebelution possesses. the original versions of the songs are fun, I like that there are slower songs like "Lady in White" "Honey Pot" and "Route Around". The acoustic album is probably the most well produced album I've ever heard, and definitely on top of my list of favorite acoustic albums of all time. then when I got to the dub version of the album, I was impressed once again. The dub versions of "Life on the Line" and "Closer I Get" will be some of my favorite tunes for a long while. They still stuck to their feeling of predictable, enjoyable reggae, but blew my mind with the alternate versions, which makes this such a great album. Rebelution is here to stay. PS: they put on a kickass live show so if you liked this go see them live, you won't regret it.

2. Not bright side of life but still great - I love reading some of the bad reviews cause they are so off base. I know it's an opinion but come on. Some say it's cliche like "so high" which is a song they have been playing live way before the album came out and was always a fan favorite. Also that it's not the same as courage to grow, well that's because it's just Eric singing who I personal think is so much better. Also that the lyrics aren't great, If you caught the meaning of this album it's to spread good vibes and peace of mind, which I think is described so well in every song.
2012-09-01
3. Why change what worked so well? - After playing to death the first two Reb albums, I couldn't wait for Peace of Mind. I tried to figure out how to hack it early but failed. When I got it, I expected to like it immediately, but I didn't. I thought it would grow on me. It didn't. Now, months later, I occasionally play it hoping still that it'll move me like the Rebelution from Courage to Grow and Bright Side of Life, but it just hasn't. My question to the band is (and I know bands grow/evolve, etc.): Why abandon the sound you do so well? If something's working, don't do something else. What happened to that great revolutionary reggae sound from tracks like "too rude," "bump," "heart like a lion," and "ordinary girl" ? I could say more but that's the crux of it. Still love this band and hope for a return to that sick reggae sound instead of this lackluster rock collage that's not even sure what it's trying to be. Peace.
2012-08-24
4. Similarities - This album is very similar to their others, but also similar in cover art to the next one in my library: Real Estate's self titled album. I added two additional Rebelution albums to my library to make the distance between the albums by track greater than the sum of the ones already there. Hope this helps.
2012-08-17
5. Get the Deluxe - The lead singers voice is not particularly my favorite. However, the music is superb, and the lyrics are phenomenal. The reason I say get the deluxe is because you will probably want or songs from the acoustic version, and at ninety-nine cents each you might as well just get them all. Great job Rebelution!
2012-07-19
6. Wow - This is my st review I have ever wrote on itunes and I felt like I had to do it this album is nothing short of amazing! Rebelution is an amazing band and I have been a fan for quite awhile now but there was just somethin about this album tht just wont let it get old. Tracks like Route Around, Closer I Get, Good Vibes, Comfort Zone, Sky is the Limit and some many more are all amazing songs. When u sit back & listen to the lyrics its amazing how they jus seem to take over and you truly feel the meaning. Great job Rebelution!! One Love.
2012-04-23
7. disappointing - Honestly, this album doesn't sound like Rebelution. I've been listening to it over and over again and I only like maybe or songs on the album. It definitely sounds like a sell out, he doesn't even sing the same- scratch that, the whole band doesn't even sound the same and most songs have less passion and a shallow meaning compared to the other albums. I'm not feeling this one but hopefully I get used to it, I suppose the rest of the albums will sound the same as this one.
2012-02-22
8. The Positive Revolution/ Rebelution Movement - Rebelution Continues to speak inspiration through their epic music and words.. Such incredible messages! This music is the future. Such a great menality and way of thinking is conveyed through their words. SOOOOO stoked the new album came out! They are inspiring and connecting in so many ways. Truely Timeless music and messages!
2012-02-11
9. Good instrumentals, awful lyrics - The lyrics on this album were seriously lacking. While a lot of the instrumentals were pretty sweet, they weren't accompanied by good lyrics or a smooth flowing feeling. A lot of the sons seemed to be written with cliche ideas of what Rebelution is supposed to sing about (specifically So High). For some reason it also felt like every track was short and not quite complete, perhaps because the lyrics had no substance to them

2. Major Disappointment. - I've loved his previous albums, you know, back when he played reggae music. Of all the current artists out there, I least expected Matis to sell out. This album is pop music and not even very good pop music. I wish I had not wasted my money on this garbage. I hope he gets back to his roots and makes more reggae music in the future. Until then I will not buy anymore of his lame pop garbage.
2012-01-27
3. Great stuff - see him live - Why do people buy an artist's second major studio album and complain that he doesn't sound the same anymore? Is there some elitist pleasure to be found in that? What industry-free independent music scene do you exclusively consume music from? In concert, he incorporates songs from Youth and Light and they all sound fantastic. There's just nothing else quite like it. This album is certainly not some commercial sell-out. See Matisyahu live and you'll find that these songs mesh perfectly with older songs to create an incredibly unique sound coming from one of the most sincere artists you can find.

None of these on top list......WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Burning Spear, The Gladiators,

1. This album changed my life - I stumbled upon this album when I was at a really low point in my life, and listening to this album is the only thing that keeps me grinding. From the very deep and meaningful lyrics to the joyful and catchy beats, this album has everything that a lover of music could ask for. Thank you Mr. Lion.
2018-06-07
2. Incredible new sound from Snoop - First off, if you are hoping for a comeback of 's snoop this isn't it. This is Reggae, his new lifestyle and love. He went through a spiritual journey in Jamaica to be able to make this. It is about him spreading peace, love and struggle, and the songs do that beautifully. Not only is the music powerful and great, but it stays true to the legends.
2015-06-03
3. Thanks Snoop - Wow!!! I'm and know the Snoop of the early days. I just watched the documentary for this album and I am so happy and pround of his transformation into manhood. Love this cd and can't wait to listen to it all day while I'm working tomorrow. Love the old music and I can appreciate what this album means spiritually. What a gift.

4. All Late - I got this Album when it first came out & I just now writing
a review better late than ever Snoop Lion did his thing
I Can't wait to hear what ever album he drops next snoop
is dope & never let's me down i'm been a fan of his work &
anybody who didn't like this album maybe they should stop
listening instead of hating on a mans growth that's all I'm saying

5. This is a JOKE or WHAT - Sorry Snoopy you are not RASTA, a person who believes in the music or meaning, keep enjoying the ganja, and stay in Hollywood with all these corporate BIG BOYS, and the industry were you come from, we dont need your candy popcorn wanna be jahmekya music, becuase you have no knowledge of history or back ground of it, and when I here your music or see you I just laugh MAO at keep joking for what you get paid for
Bazzy M- OUT!!! and to the ture Jah Rastafari to all stay postive and love peace and love snoopy
2014-04-09
6. REINCARNATED!! - For those that understand that growth and wisdom comes with seeking a greater purpose should love this album. Growing up on Reggae and understanding the culture and also growing up on Snoop Dogg will understand the journey “Uncle Snoop” has gone through to get to this amazing point in his life. This album is brilliantly put together and personifies the artistic growth Snoop has gone through his entire career. I don’t understand why this album has received more publicity…..Check Check, then again i do understand. Its because Snoops not talking about gang banging and pimping so that makes it a horrible album to the commercial world. This is life changing music and a great investment
2014-03-03
7. IM SORRY BUT NOT REAL REGGAE - I'm sorry but snoop dogg is giving reggae a bad name. This isn't real reggae, if you really want to listen to some REAL reggae I recommend you people to listen to Rebelution or SOJA, I'm telling you if you listen to those bands you'd will quickly find out what REAL reggae is about and never want to listen to this fake reggae garbage again. & as good as those bands sound they sound even better live in person, so if you see these bands coming to a town near you go and see them & I promise you won't regret it! P.s Stay true and Jah bless
2013-12-29
8. Speaks to my Soul - For those of you who are mad because this doesn’t sound like the old Snoop Dogg, i feel sorry for you. His old music was the type of music that keeps hate, violence, crime and disunity within the communities it reaches. Snoop Lion has changed into something beautiful. This music speaks to souls in positives ways. I commend him on his effort to go out on a limb and reclaim his identity. This is what we need from artists now a days. If you haven’t watched the documentary about the making of this album, you shouldn’t even be commenting on this topic anyway. Way to go Snoop Lion. Respect x Love

1. You are in for a treat with this one - We had the oppportunity to see the Easy Star All-Stars this fall at Art Outside, north of Austin, TX, & i can't tell you how much of a treat it was. After they jammed out to a couple of fabulous Michael Jackson songs, we dove right into the weird world that is pink floyd (from what im learning) . I am looking forward to sharing this album with my dad over the holidays.
2015-12-09
2. Phenomenal - How am I just now finding this??? It's simply phenomenal this interpretation of a classic album not only compliments the original but takes it to another level, not a higher...no pun intended....or lower just different and what has been done is almost like hearing it for the first time so in a way the classic has been reborn
2014-01-08
3. Huh..... - So when your finally get'n too old to be fry'n anymore you can just switch from Floyd's orig. version to this one and simply blaze instead.... makes sense to me I guess. Well it's not the best album I've ever heard, that is for sure. But it definitely coulda been a whole hell-of-alot worse also. It's actually alright tho. It has a bit of it's own charm to it in a novelty sort of way. It is creative for sure. I don't know how they pulled it off but they did and that is commendable.
2011-05-31
4. Different and Brilliant... - I consider myself an eclectic music listener, but when I was first told of this album by a friend, it took some convincing to even get me to listen to it, because the idea of a Pink Floyd tribute being done in reggae, quite frankly, to me, sounded so weird and off-putting that I almost didn't give it a chance. Thank god I did. If you can't hear the quality and production value in "money"... my friend, your ears are broken and you should go download the new justin bieber album imidiately. I found myself unable to even take a break from this album for a good week once I opened my mind to it. Different? Yes. Fantastic? Yes. An unbelievable tribute? Yes, but also very much their own thing. Lots of gems in this album... Nice work All-Stars.

5. The Perfect Union - I have listened to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon since I was - I know every Breath of it. As an adult who wore dreads, my love and respect for both of these is immense - without pause, this dub album is a brilliant achievement. It is done absolutely flawlessly, both as a tribute to Floyd's album with every last perfect note, and as a fun and extraordinary reggae collection of its own. Throughout the album, I'm in awe and grinning wildly. Aaah, union!
2010-04-25
6. Love it! - I finally bought it a couple of weeks ago, thinking it might be good for a listen or two. Fact is, this album really grows on you. What they've done here is pretty phenomenal. They have stayed true to the essence and the original intent of the music, but also added a whole new dimension to it.
2010-01-23
7. One word... - Outstanding. Ok a few more for those that are inclined to continue reading. I was never a huge Pink Floyd Fan. Late in life I had the great fortune of rediscovering their music. As a huge reggae/dub fan.... this makes me even more of a fan. Outstanding reinterpretations of one of the most perfectly flowing albums of all time. This disc flows as well as the first and the story unfolds. It doesn't matter if it's a long trip down the yellow brick road or a personal journey of salvation.... this album will not disapoint. X

8. WOW - I was born in , the year of The Dark Side , and have been listening to Pink Floyd since I can remember.
I listened to The Dub Side of The Moon for the first time in the Caribbean and I thought I was hearing things after one too many. This album blew my mind . They are fantastic musicians showing that truly good music can cross genres and have many magical interpretations. Amazing
2010-01-02
9. Tell Your Friends - This band - and this album - are phenomenal. It's rare to encounter a band that puts out entire albums full of great songs these days - granted, these are a cover of Pink Floyd originals, but if you listen to this version, you'll see that ample creativity went into creating this gem (as well as the other Easy Star albums). A friend shared "Dub Side" with me and i've been hooked on Easy Star's music ever since. Do your friends a favor and introduce them to the dubba-dubb-dub delightfulness. :)

1. Its all about Josh Werner - Ever since you stopped working with Josh (writer) Live at Stubbs and this album, your work has gone drastically downhill. This is the last good album Matisyahu has made. If your looking for the deep lyrics like he use to have Josh Werner is now with a Reggae artist called Lee "Scratch" Perry. Matisyahu (not his real name) you are a sell out, poser.

2. King without a crown - Got the wrong version, yuck, booo. Straight to delete. The live version may be the one I'm searching for but I can't tell??? Do I buy it and take the big cent gamble? The tension mounts. To top it of after each little purchase you are invited to write about your purchase experience for no pay. News flash, writing this crap is like getting a homework assignment but on the bright side it allows me the chance to tell the faceless, nameless cog in the machine that they've just earned themselves a few cents of bad karma. Hmm, is it time to dust off the Sirius radio?

3. Matsuyan! - This album is amazing (no matter what the professional reviews say)! Very refreshing for a fellow believer in Adonai; he gives a great spiritual message in every song. Okay, my song-by-song review:
"Fire of Heaven..."--/
Good opener, lyrics in the chorus are a bit strange, though.
"Youth"--/
Easily the most rock-like song on the album; an excellent message also.
"Time of Your Song"--/
Love this one! Kind of a break from the directly religious subjects. Mixes it up a bit.
"Dispatch The Troops"--/
Good message, but not quite as catchy as the other songs.
"Indestructible"--/
Very strong point in the chorus, nice and catchy.
"What I'm Fighting For"--/
So simple, sweet, and touching. Probably one of the most directly religious songs on this LP.
"Jerusalem"--/
Easily in my top on this album! Beautiful and heartbreaking lyrics; even a smidgen of autotune.
"WP"--/
A very sad song, seems to be about his life growing up. In my opinion, WP stands for White Plains, NY--his hometown.
"Shalom/Salaam"--/
Amazing beat box solo! Nice and short as not to bore you.
"Late Night In Zion"--/
Very deep and personal, not sure what the meaning is behind the song. Very catchy chorus!
"Unique Is My Dove"--/
This is what love songs should be like! It's so sweet, written for his wife. :)
"Ancient Lullaby"--/
The song itself is AMAZING, I hate how it's so short to make room for the silly guitar and drum solos, though.
"King Without A Crown"--/
Really the icing on the cake, in my opinion. Some of the most touchy lyrics I've ever heard. Really portrays Adonai the way he truly is.

4. He is the best! - Matisyahu always seems to come up with something fresh and new. But, I tell you, some of these songs aren't his true voice. If you read the album review, you'll see that the manager likes to mess with the songs a little. I still like them, but seeing him live is awesome. It will give you a greater respect for his music and show you another side to him. I went to a concert in Portland where he played with Dub Trio. It was loud and awesome. I strongly suggest seeing him live.

5. No Joke - If you were to just listen to this artist and not see him you would swear you were listening to an artist straight out of Saint Mary's in Jamaica, this guy is awesome. He is as close to a hard core reggae artists as artists who didn't make it out of Jamaica. I can't say enough good things about this performer, I wonder what's going through his parents mind, ya gotta love em!
2010-08-01
6. LOVE IT - I was a bit doubtful of him at first since everyone around me love him and I tend to stray away from that kind of stuff, but when I found the "live at stubbs" album in the bookcase I just had to listen to it, and I instantly fell in love with it. Matisyahu (srry to anyone ig i misspelled it) you rock. Mazel tov. I love Jerusalem, King Without a Crown, WP, Youth, Dispatch the Troops, and What Im Fighting For. Great job :)
2010-07-11
7. King Without A Crown gets even better at Stubb - As good as this version of KWaC is, it doesn't capture Matisyahu's talents and energies as a performer. On his live album, "Live at Stubb's", the whole album is filled with better versions of some of his best songs. That version of "King Without a Crown" is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
2010-04-18
8. Amazing - Matisyahu's music is enjoyable to listen to and has a good message. He is great regardless of the listener's religion. My personal favorite songs are king without a crown, jerusalem, time of your song, dispatch the troops, and youth. It is great to listen to for whatever mood you are in. This almbum i think is better than his most recent album (light).

1. Where's the dub? Where's the rockin beat - First off, I want to say that rebelution is a sick band. This is a good album, but it's not as good as Courage to Grow (best album of all time, in my opinion) and Bright side of Life. One thing thing that I liked about all of the other albums was the dub. This album doesn't have a dub song. Also, there aren't any realy bumpin songs like others songs. But I'm not here to hate, good job rebelution. One love
2015-01-29
2. Not impressed, expected more - It's ok. When I first chaggi'd the album, it sounded like the last. I would have to agree that it sounds like they are running out of ideas. I love this band, and wish they gave something new.. Sounds like the music is a repeat. I'll be waiting for the next album. Maybe more collaborations, people I love to hear together would be JBoog, Anuhea, Soja. Let's get the creativity flowing...
2014-08-30
3. Flat Out Incredible - I have been an avid Rebelution fan since day . I love all kinds of music, but I keep coming back to Reb because they are just incredible musicians and Eric's voice is so on point in this album. I see so much maturation and growth in this album, and while I still love Courage to Grow the most, this album is a very close second. Buy it and you will not be disapointed. Not one bad song on this album. Especially listen to Roots, Reggae, Music, Notice Me, and Destress.
2014-08-12
4. Fan For Always - I've been fan since they started and their music just keeps getting better and better! I love that they experiment with something a little different in every album, but still maintain their positive message with catchy beats. Love "Hate to be the One" and "Count Me In" on this album. Keep it up guys! This album is by far my favorite so far :)
2014-07-29
5. By far one of their best.. - Ive listened to this band for a long time and its safe to say they are one of my favorite bands. Its been a little bit of time since they released a new album and this one just proves they can't make a bad album… The whole feeling of the album is just loving and happy. It makes you feel like your at the beach with the love of your life. The beats, the horns, and just the general rhythm of the songs just make you want to bounce around and the lyrics tie it all together to make some powerful songs. Thank you rebelution for continuing to create amazing songs that allow me to get through the day feeling happy and humble.

6. If you were a fan since bright side/courage to grow ... This is disappointing - It hurts me to say this because I fell in love with Rebelution a couple years back. Their self titled EP , Bright Side of Life & Courage to Grow were on repeat for months at a time. I've seen them live a handful of times & never have been disappointed with their performances. But truth is I really tried to like Peace of Mind . But it was so easy to just forget about all those songs and skip to the next track when they came on, and sadly this album is the same. The rhythms and beats all sound the same, their lyrics just aren't moving anymore and they're not deep. They're just super mellow and sound like something you'd play as background music. I really wanted to like this album .... I really did. I don't know what it is but they're kinda losing their touch. It might be because they're always on tour and don't have time to just hang & strum up some new songs with deeper lyrics & switch it up a bit.. Sorry Marley, Eric , Wes & Rory , that's just how I feel.
2014-07-01
7. Been a fan and still a fan! - The music has changed in style a little bit but still a great collaboration of songs. Positive vibes for destructive minds. I play it everywhere I go and people always ask who is that? I tell them welcome to the Rebelution. Keep up the great work and the good tunes. (The radio is dead)
2014-06-17
8. Count Yourself In - This is a great album. I have had the album on repeat for a couple days now. While it doesn't stray far from the sound of other albums, it is a fantastic album with not a bad song on it. Noteable tracks COUNT ME IN, DE-STRESS, and ROOTS REGGE MUSIC. These especially stand out as great tracks, but the album is enjoyable. Buy this album and sit back relax, and enjoy what feels like being on vacation in your own back yard.
2014-06-16
9. Better Than Ever - So much reggae sounds generic or forced. These guys are representing the every-day human that just wants to kick back and listen to good music. They’re not after getting rich or hyper-famous, just making music that’s both relaxing and thought provoking. As a side note, I’ve seen them five times, most recently on New Year’s Eve in Ventura and their live shows are as good as their albums.

1. They never disappoint ! - I'm in love with this album!! Obviously "Inhale Exhale" is the break out single but keep listening! "Lay My Claim" was my next favorite, it upbeat and cool. Also "Pretty Lady" is the first I've really heard of them being dirty with it haha. "Know it All" was the last one I started loving as I listened to it more, it gives you those killer horns that sound incredible and remind me why they are so good live! I've already seen then times this year! Lastly "Santa Barbara" is a great fun song as well. There are really only - songs I don't listen to constantly so overall this album is a win!
2016-09-09
2. Just keeps getting better - The amount of heart and passion these boys put into everything, is incredible. From the depth of the lyrics, to the rhythm of the horns! This album has everything you love about them and also some new evolved sounds. Love love love this new album! Can't get enough of the anthem feel good vibes and the depth of the lyrics. You won't be sorry roots lovers
2016-08-19
3. Not good - FOR SALE: my once used digital download of Reb's "falling into place" Definitely not what I was expecting. I still love the band and will continue to listen to their older stuff. There were a couple good songs on the album...but most were super pop sounding and the lyrics weren't good either
2016-06-09
4. Rebelution revolution - Great new sounds coming from Eric and the guys. His voice is different enough in each song which is a nice change of pace for this type of music. This album has lots of new which is great for the fans. Probably my rd fav album from these guys which is saying a lot. () Courage to Grow () BSOF and Peace of Mind are tied () Falling Into Place () Count Me In. Their last album felt a little bit forced. Still, there can never be enough Rebelution!! Fan since !! Keep it up boys. MUCH LOVE FROM CALI
2016-06-06
5. Still love you guys - But this album didn't excited ears too much. A handful of the tracks made me feel the same way ALL of your old albums did but the rest was too "pop" and didn't really go with the same vibe you guys set for yourselves. Will always listen to you but I'll only be buying a track or not the whole album this time
2016-06-06
6. Still A Epic Band But.. - Although there are a few gems, the Album is truly lacking something. Maybe the lack of needed upbeat Reggae/Dub/Rock we just come to expect from Rebelution. Most of the songs are just mellow jive with studio effects. Eric has always had some amazing guitar leads and catchy liberating lyrics blended with Marley's deep bass grooves. I truly feel like they need to keep with that legendary sound that had folks asking "who is this"?? I just don't feel it on this one. It's not terrible like I said theres a few solid songs but maybe this one was rushed due to time constraints from touring, and/or Eric's side project which was all in all much better but not by much. I'm Still a fan for Life and go to all their local shows (have a pic with Marley) but I hope the next album picks up where the first began..
2016-06-04
7. Underwhelmed - I love this band, they sound great live, and have many many great songs, however, I try over and over to listen to the samples itunes offers before purchase, and Im underwhelmed. The production sounds good, the band sounds good, the vocals sound clean and good, but the songs are just not doing it for me. Id say the songs are more pop than reggae. Even the songs with a reggae beat are more on the pop side of genre. Im not angry at the band. Im a big fan, but I think for now, I'll pass on this album. If I change my mind I will be sure to edit this and eat my words openly.
2016-06-04
8. Instrumentals Don't Make Up for Bad Lyrics - Their instrumentals are clearly getting better - more creative and a higher understanding of how to read music. You can tell, it's actually pretty impressive I think. Truly, a a couple of the songs are good, no doubt. But what's annoying is how the singer still seems to be stuck in and/or is catering to an understanding with the confused population. To be honest, so much of the lyrics are childish and immature. I've been supporting them for over years and it's sad to see how he's never grown out of these weird, confusing, and heart brake situations. Grow up and expand your vocabulary please for the love of God. Whine-y.
2016-06-03
9. This album is disappointing - I've been listening to Rebelution for over years, however this album was mostly boring to me. The only good ones were the pre-released tracks (inhale-exhale & upper hand), the rest are just whatever and not catchy at all. Hoping these songs will sound better at their live shows, if they even play them. We all know they mostly play their fan favorites at their concerts.

2. Great vibes - First Stick Figure album I listened to and purchased (). Puts me in such a good mood. Every song sounds so awesome. I listen to this nonstop. I have no idea why I only just discovered this even though I’m a huge , Slightly Stoopid, Expendables, SOJA, Rebelution fan. Worth the wait! This album is GOLD

3. I can't stop bouncing my head to the music! - I know this other guy below me said it but I'll say it to because it's true. I know slightly, and I know reggae, but stick figure just gave me a giant stick figure. Buy this album. You won't regret it. Top I recommend checking out if you're iffy about buying the album: . Weight of Sound (feat. TJ O'Neill)
. You know what. I just bought the album and I'm listening to a song I haven't heard yet, just BUY THE WHOLE ALBUM ALREADY.

4. Easily the best thing happening in Reggae right now - Like Tim Armstrong to Punk/Ska circa -, Scott's translation of influence into a perfect original sound is unparellelled. He is a master of his craft right now and there's no one who's even close to matching his vibe in the reggae genre. Along with Smoke Stack, best album by a Reggae influenced artist since "The Question" by The Slackers ().

5. Stick Figure "Burial Ground" Album Review - Solid instrumentals, diggable grooves, and thought provoking lyrics combine to make Stick Figure's latest offering "Burial Ground" a sonic delight. The album makes use of beautifully syncopated riddims that always drive forward, and provide a solid backbone for the catchy melodies of one-man-band Scott Woodruff. In a departure from his other albums, we get to hear more drawn out instrumental sections as Woodruff lets himself go a bit, to the listeners glee of course. Check out "Dreamland" for some of this newfound freedom to roam. Be sure to listen particularly for innovative percussion throughout and especially on "Shelter". Another area we see some evolution is in Woodruffs vocals, and this is evident on tracks like cocaine smuggler-inspired "Barrels" and the irie styled title track "Burial Ground". We even get to hear a guest appearance from the legendary Reggae vocalist Half Pint. And Scott, if you're reading this, don't be afraid to share that mic more often! I recommend throwing this album onto the selector, rolling a fatty, and reveling in the irie vibrations that ensue. One things for sure, this is one guilty pleasure you'll be enjoying time and again!
2013-04-16
6. Sensational! - This album is a solid musical journey front to back. Scott does all the writing and recording himself, and you can feel the heart and soul he put into this album. There aren't many artists that have the talent or conviction to undertake what Scott has accomplished. If you haven't already bought this album, do it. Don't just buy one or two songs. Take my word for it, you WILL NOT regret spending the extra money.
2013-01-25
7. Simply astounding - With all the clutter that is out there, I am so glad I ran across Scott and his amazing music. The music is fresh, melodic, and sophisticated. For example, Breathe is an amazing piece and begins an amazing journey into Scott's seemlingly limitless creativity. Also need to pay attention to Barrels and Coming Home. Just pure genius. There's not a bad song on the entire album. This guy is going places.
2012-07-28
8. Look in your heart and you'll find home. - I like to think that I am a music nymph in that I listen to everything and anything that catches my attention. This album is one of thoe albums that I play at home, in my car and everywhere in between. It makes me feel good and has wonderful messages that make me smile and feel hopeful. I give this stars and congratulate Stick Figure (aka Scott) on a fantastic job well done. Bless up!
2012-07-17
9. Scott hits the chuunes everytime - Just when I thought it could not get better...Scott throws down Burial Ground....it is so pumped it leaves you with a amped feeling of wanting to play it over and over....if you had one choice this Summer to buy any CD...this would be the "Banker" and you would be reaching for replay long into the Golden Hour

1. Let’s Do It Again (TikTok) - TikTok brought me here and have brought this song back with the trendy dances to these songs old new and discovered. I also here’s Pía Mía do a rendition of this song “Let’s Do It Again”with here rendition “Do It Again” It brought me in to J Boog’s music and I’m glad cause it’s amazing different and intriguing.

2. Oi Sole!!!!! - J Boog is fire! Been playin him at work and peeps are going nuts over his songs! Oh and I went to his concert up here in seattle (snolquamlie) and he sounds exactly the same live as he does on his tracks! If you get a chance go see him! You wont be dissapointed. Cant wait to hear more of your work USO! Chaaa Hooo!
2011-07-25
3. Hit after hit!!!! How albums should be done!!!! - Deee-zam!!! All of these tracks are KILLER!!! Who would think that an track EP would have it ALL??? Well, it those!!! It has club bangers, love/relationship songs, two steppers, sit back & relax numbers, get your drink on tunes, toke some if you got some ditties, plus more. The production is TIGHT!!! The featured artists are BOMB!!! The only downside of this album is that it’s just tracks!!! But yo, I would rather have a short and sweet album I can play from the beginning to end than the opposite. Albums don’t come like this too often & I’m very glad that J-Boog’s EP did not disappoint. So make this summer of a memorable one, buy this EP & play it at every BBQ, family get togethers, backyard boogies, road trips, hangouts, picnics, park events… hell, anywhere & everywhere!!! Big ups to the homeboy King for introducing me to J-Boog. PEACE!!!

5. J Boog - I was cruisin' the islands (HI) a couple of weeks ago, every island was playing this jam. I couldn't figure out who sang it at first, but once I figured it out, I was looking forward to buying the song. Finally released this week! Good looking out J Boog and Fiji! I hope this makes it mainstream everywhere!

1. Too long, and bad musical chioces - This is not Irtion's best work; it's probably their least work. There are too many tracks here; with some judicious cutting you could come up with a decent - or -song album. And please ignore the iTunes reviewer's claim that "Show Me" is the album's standout; it's a bland, flaccid pop song that completely ditches Iration's roots in an attempt to pursue … something, and never gets there. Be thankful you can pick and choose which songs you want to download.
2017-05-25
2. Automatic - I finally bought my first Iration album and I was surprised by how good it was. When the band first started I didn't think of them as real musicians. I went to a few shows but didn't know any of the songs, I was mostly at the concert for the beer. Then I started listening to Iration radio on Pandora and it was surprisingly really good and the song Fallin is obviously good. So I bought the Automatic album and thought to myself wow this album is awesome. I guess I'm starting to get the music. The music is a reflection of the people in the band. Very positive, smart, but not fake. Kind of reminds me of hpa where everyone is really nice, and they work hard and are funny, and think its cool to be smart, and people aren't full of hate, all about the love, but also being productive and enjoying life, but no one is perfect, and having fun all while respecting and being good to people. Probably not a good idea writing a review after taking ambien generic.
2014-08-12
3. give it some time - Initially, I was disappointed with this album. I thought it lacked the energy of the previous albums. But I ended up buying the album for an upcoming show in Santa Cruz to get familiar with some of the newer tracks and an itch for some new tunes. I did a full . Now, some of my favorites are on this album. "Automatic" and "Burn" are immediately addictive. And the live show was incredible too. Awesome band, awesome buy.
2014-03-25
4. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY MUSIC LOVER!!! - This album is packed full of heart and inspiration. With the departure of Kai the band hasn't lost a beat... Sure it's a bit different but that's to expect when a member leaves. People say Kai this and Kai that blah blah blah, maybe they were just in love with Kai and not Iration. This is by far the best yet. I have watched this bands progress and it's just gotten better and better. With the exception of "milk and honey" this is a press play and listen album... out of awesome tracks isn't to shabby if you ask me. Keep up the good work!!!
2013-12-26
5. Worth every cent - There's a few songs on this album that i skip over, but conversely there's also a few songs that i'll put on repeat Over and Over again. "Back Around", "One Way Track", "Go That Road", "This Old Song", and "Uptown" are some of the best on this album, but the rest are still amazing. I can see some of them becoming top reggae hits in the next year
2013-08-21
6. Summer in an album! - I was introduced to Iration with the songs "Time Bomb" , "Summer Nights" and "Falling". I have waited so long to hear these guys make a new album and its finally here. Pruschel's voice offers a enjoyable listening experience that takes me to a tropical island in the middle of the ocean. I have read some reviews such as ones by D.T O'Lalee and to some extent I agree, however with this group its about the roots and they definitely brought a new kind of sound to the table.
2013-07-13
7. Awesome! - I will not claim to be a profesional in this genre, actually what I do know about it, is their is Reggae, and then their is Bob Marley. I have to write a review for this album because this is some of the best " Music" I have heard in a long time. It this was to be labelled as, Alternative, Pop, Dance, whatever you want to label it, this is just great music. They do have the same beat all the way through ( What Reggae doesn't.) They seem to add a lot of other instruments in with the music as well though. This was my frist time hearing this band, and they are great, you will very much enjoy this album, no matter what genre you are looking for.
2013-07-13
8. Missing Kai - Been listening to Iration for many many years, all the way back to No Time For Rest. This album is... Different. Micah's got a dope voice, I mean dude can sing, but I'm missing Kai's sound on this album. They played off each other extremely well and this album obviously feels different. Every band deserves the chance to experiment with their sound and Iration deserves that chance. We all know they can make some awesome music! This isn't my favorite work by Iration, but I have hope that the next time around will be better!
2013-07-09
9. Can do no wrong? - These guys haven't lost a step. Another killer album by the best band around. The melodies that we know and love from Iration are still there in full force. It is tough losing Kai, but Micah has a voice from heaven. I get the whole island feel from this album and i couldn't have asked for anything better. High Flying is the best song on the album and it is pretty clear as to why. The boys did it again. Thanks Iration for consistently making great music for us reggae lovers to keep coming back too.

1. ...Meh - For whatever reason, I'm not very thrilled about Haleys music. I mean, the talent show drew me in with his amazing solo of 'Walking on the Moon'...which relaly is why i bought the album. But i was just too disapointed with the rest of the music to rate this reveiw well...I basically paid bucks for a single song...
2010-02-04
2. more acoustic tracks, dude! - Love the groove of reggae, just makes ya happy . . . . . . all tunes on here are great, HOWEVER, what I really, really, really would like to hear and purchase is: Mr. Haleys' acoustic version of "No woman, No Cry" and any other versions of guitar arrangements with just him and his beautifully clear voice. hint, hint :)
2010-01-26
3. Love this guy - If it weren't for America's Got Talent I never would have heard of this guy, but the second he sang on the first episode I couldnt wait for an album. Unfortunately he didn't win and some silly puppets did, but we stull did because he got his album out and it's awesome!!! Congrats Cas...looking forward to more. Sean, Ma
2008-09-25
4. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! - I heard/saw him first on AGT and was very disappointed when he didn't win. I absolutely love his voice and his style. I am so happy he finally has an album out! I do wish it had a few of his other covers as well, such as Higher & Higher and Sir Duke, but this album is wonderful! I can't wait for the next album. My favorite song on this CD is I Loved You All Along. I highly recommend buying this CD!
2008-09-04
5. Feel Good Music at its best - Cas Haley gets it, his talent is true and pure and his spirit comes through in his music. It is great to see talent and hear music such as his in this day and age. Cas has a great future ahead of him, and when compared to his self proclaimed inspirations, he stands as an equal, and in some cases better.
2008-08-11
6. What happened to Woodbelly!!! - Seen Cas and Woodbelly play several times live and with Jah Roots and i noticed yall changed up a few songs for the album that yall used to play.... sounds like radio crap now. Survive and I Wish That I and I Loved You All Along were times better with the old beat. Looks like he sold out to get signed and left his band behind. Still has an awesome voice though and decent album.
2008-07-01
7. Nice album but lacks punch... - Overall this album is very easy to listen to, but to me it lacks some punch. Not that I expect every song to be a hit, but unfortunatley there doesn't seem to be any hits. Other than the two cover songs (Easy, Walking on the Moon), the only other tracks to me worth listening to are "I Wish That I" and "Dead Head Dream". I really was rooting for Cas on America's Got Talent, and was thrilled when he finally released this album. But I feel a little let down with this effort. Who knows maybe the record label got their hooks in him, and had more creative control than he did? I hope their will be a nd album that Cas can have more creative control and make a great record, not just an ok record.

8. Stick with the acoustic versions Cas, but nice try, keep rockin. - I am a big, big Cas fan, however I have to agree with the reviews here that say it sounds a bit like elevator music. The first track is great, but then the music seems to go from a very relaxed acoustic reggae song to a Puerto Rican Nightclub. I was disappointed. Stick with the acoustics Cas, that's your niche.
2008-05-21
9. great disappointment - i enjoyed watching cas on the show and expected a great album from him. However, the music in this album sounds like the average mediocre reggea band from any cruise ship like Norwegian. Nothing unique. Too "noisy". Not enough of just Cas singing and playing the guitar. Other than the songs he sang on the show, this album is a great disappointment. Hopefully, Cas will get better material on the next album.

1. Roots Brah! - With their first "demo" album (Youth Rebellion), Tribal Seeds arrived on the music scene with great style, strong lyrics, and a clear message... for the YOUTH. With their self titled and official full length album, Tribal Seeds reaffirms their style and adds to it, a strong production that completely revamps the seven re-recorded tracks and introduces eight new tracks for a peek into where the band seems to be heading. Fifteen hard hitting tracks. Well worth adding to your Reggae/Rock collection.

2. A Must Buy Album - I had debated for a while whether I wanted to buy the whole album or just a few of the songs. I finally decided to buy the whole album and after listening to it nonstop my decision to buy the full album was justified. This is American Reggae at its finest. Saw these guys live and they know how to play a show. Can't wait til these guys come out with their new album in .

3. Great down to earth band - I talked to a few of these cats at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, VA they are pretty much what musicians should strive to be, humble and caring not just for the music but for the people as well thats what its all about! Oh and by the way the drummer is awesome i work at a studio here in Charlottesville and let me tell you that high-hat work is no joke you got it man. Rock on, Ryan

4. Authentic sounding, catchy reggae - I heard these guys the first time on Pandora Radio on my Pepper station. I heard Dawn of Time and loved them. Someone below is right, the tracks are similar but over time they grow on you individually. You'll catch yourself with random lyrics in your head. If you're a first timer and interested, I'd suggest trying the other album first, just so you don't feel disappointed. This album is a slightly acquired taste - to truly appreciate it.
2011-03-08
5. Tribal SEEDS and Youth - These guys will be on the cover of Rolling Stone soon. I have seen them live in OC and the crowed wouldnt let them leave the stage when the headliner came on. Never saw that before. See them now before they explode on to the main stream. BEST REGGAE BAND ALIVE. Go T Ray ( keep the kits coming )
2010-10-12
6. Superb - I saw these guys with Rebelution and Iration in Boulder. They were the opener and I thought they were the best band there that night. They truly blew me away. The live show was incredible. This album just brings me back to that night. I love Dawn of Time and Dark Angel the most. Overall the album is very good. I personally like their second release better. The Harvest Baby.

1. Heavier? - I'm not crazy about the album, but I do think its going to grow on me especially after I see them live again. One thing that I'm truly enjoying is the fact that Kai is singing more. I really like his voice and it reminds me of Sa from . For everyone that thinks I'm hating, I do enjoy Iration, but I prefer a little more upbeat style within this genre.
2011-02-04
2. nice work by the Irators - I've been a big Iration fan for awhile and definitely dig this album. It's a little more mellow than the other stuff, but it's good, chill music just the same. I would've liked to see a more upbeat, bouncier track like "I'm With You", "All Night" or "Turn Around" included in this one though. Go see them live if you haven't. Great show and they're all cool dudes as well
2011-02-04
3. "No Letter" is extremely beautiful but... - All the songs are a fantastic experience in their own right. I love the vibes, the socially and environmentally conscious lyrics, and the fact that the music evolves as the artists do. This is genuinely good music by talented musicians. I enjoyed the songs back to back. I recommend anyone buy it and bump it. Looking forward to the next album Irators!
2011-02-03
4. Whatever it is - not REGGAE but track - But I really love it!!!
Sound pretty new and unknown what I can hear. Where do they come from? I never heard of them before. Anyway - buy this if you like good music because this is good music! Another album I'd like to recommend is called DOLOMITI SUPER CHILL which is also a fantastic holiday mood album which reminds you of those fantastic summer days of .
2011-02-02
5. LOVE ANYTHING THEY MAKE - These guys are so good words cant even describe it, i love this EP its got some mellow on it like Work it out and Summer Nights. But then theres some rocking style reggae too with can't wait and all this time! and then Micah Sings no letter and honestly that might turn in to the next "Falling". These guys are gold and i hope them the best!
2011-02-01
6. Fresh Grounds - Iration changed the sound up with this EP but it still hits that feel good irie spot. Looking forward to seeing what direction they take with the next album and hopefully sticking to their roots and the TIme Bomb/No Time For Rest sound but they always kill it no matter what the style!
2011-02-01
7. NICE - I wish it could have been a full release, but something is better than nothing. Timb Bomb will be a tough one to beat for sure. Fresh Grounds is a little more mellow than I expected, but it is still some great chill and easy flowing music. If you are an Iration fan don't hesitate to buy it, you will not be dissapointed. I'm glad to see they're keeping a similar sound and putting out more music. Iration, COME TO VIRGINIA TECH! SOJA comes all the time and you guys would combine to make an amazing concert. You should get in touch with SOJA's people and work something out. I'm about to graduate soon so we have to make this happen soon! Goodluck guys.
2011-02-01
8. Not Definitive Iration - Except for their Summer Nights single, this is Iration's first output since Time Bomb took the band to completely new heights. These tracks just do not hit as hard as songs like Electricity, Wait and See, Time Bomb, and Dream. I hoped -- to no avail -- that the guys would re-record Summer Nights, much like they re-recorded Wait and See for Time Bomb. Regardless, Iration makes great music, and I will continue to buy whatever they release. Hopefully they can get their groove back on the next one. Keep jamming, guys.

1. dankness. - I dont skip a track on this album and makes me want to do more than just smoke. Its inspirational in its own way and I dont get that feel of every track sounding the same like some other reggae albums. But Tribal Seeds keeps you in a bomb trance through the end. I ALMOST WENT TO THEIR SD CONCERT....DAMN IT! but couldn't. lol
2010-12-05
2. AMAZING - Tribal Seeds can be summed up in words TRUELY AMAZING. These tracks are all so beautifully written and preformed , its hard to pick a favorite :) I am so thankful to have been introduced to them. They are equally as kind as there music is awesome!! You will not be disappointed :) I find myself now months and months later constantly humming these lyrics !!
2010-09-07
3. man..... - this album man is like no other you have to set aside time to just sit and listen to this like dont plan anything but listening to this album right here. its like perfection. if youve been searching for the pefect reggae relaxed good vibin non stop movin and wow im listening to this as im typing and its just perfect man perfect. purchase this album. been searchin through expendables,supervillians,ft ganja plant area then saw this buy it. its amazing. its perfect. i figured it out. i find a band when searching for the perfect sound,every band ive found has done their best at the perfect sound they just cant do it but they do it their best and its good you know okay, so i settle thinkin it is the perfect sound but having little doubt, go through that deeper and deeper finding acceptable but better sounds to settle. until finally, i heard this, its the sound. the amazing sound.perfect.haha.buy this cd. into stephen mar and bob and damian and expendables,superv's,ft ganj then dude youve reached your destination.
2010-07-08
4. Fantastic - While i was searching itunes looking for some good reggae music like damian and ziggy marley i came across tribal seeds. I listened to all of the previews and thought they were good so i bought the album, but the previews were no comparison to the real thing. They are an amazing band with such raw talent. They are the next thing in reggae.
Top songs(my opinion)
. Warning: love the beat . The Garden: love the message and beat
. Stillness of Night: So very chill . Love Psalm: just a fun song
. Herby: Who doesn't like a song about weed, and love the message.
2010-07-03
5. Disappointing - All I Know, Come Around and Away are the only real quality songs on this album full of pop reggae ganja/herb BS that seems to sell so well. The three tracks I mentioned are by the the best in that they actually have solid sounds and messages. The rest plays well to the average frat boy who will be high at their shows. The band will sing "rasta say smoke, smoke" to which the frat boy will reply "F yeah! I smoke, woooo this band rules" I thought Tribal Seeds was above the likes of Slightly Stoopid and Rebelution in that regard, but The Harvest has proven me wrong and is disappointing. Buy the whole album to support the band that had a great st () albums and has some killer songs on this one, but don't be surprised when % of it is simply "meh"
2010-06-06
6. Purely GOOD REGGAE - Ever since I heard their song "Dark Angel" a long time ago, Tribal Seeds will always be synonymous with PURELY GOOD REGGAE MUSIC. And the release of their latest album "The Harvest" just supports my original convistions even more.
This is one of those rare albums where each song is just as good (if not better) than the last. Just select the album, hit play, and kick back & listen to Reggae music at its finest. [Fave Tracks: the Harvest, the Garden, & ,]
I love love love Tribal Seeds! Sadly, I missed their concert when they passed through Guam, but I'll watch them live sooner or later.
2010-02-20
7. Solid - This album was pretty good. Youth Rebellion was such a dope album that this was kind of a let down for me. Its good to experiment and change up sounds but i prefer the more traditional roots sound. Best songs on this one is the garden, away, warning, and vampire. These guys are still really young so im confident they will produce some good stuff in the future.
2010-02-18
8. Yo The Harvest has been plucked and it is ALL GOOOOD!!!!! - Man what an absolute amazement! I bought cd's yesterday and am making my way through them all. As someone else posted on here you guys and Clear Conscience need to get together which I agree. Out of the cd's it would be so sick to see you guys rock it out. My favorite track on this album man is Away and The Harvest. Love the real acoustic vibe at the beginning of the Harvest than the matisyahu sounding riddum you guys flow. Just a great album from the beginning to end. I hope to see you guys do big things and someone told me that Sonny Sandoval is a Christian Metal Rapper?? Guy is sick on your album. I never heard of him but the name POD sounded familiar. Anyways man i am leaving a big review for a big album. Do your thing and you will see me at a show. I will make sure to say whats up and get some shirts. I saw you guys, iration and rebelution on tour together coming up here so man i CANT say enough on that! gonna be nuts!

9. SUCESS IN THE MAKING - Triba seeds Is No Doubt One Of The Sickest New Bands Out That Have Such A Deep Feeling Of Roots Reggae Rock Sound The Whole Package Kinda Thing. They Also Got Dat Old Skool feeling of reggae. you Can Also tell how much this band can do music wise. this is just there second cd and i love it cant wait for more!!!!!!!!

1. Buy it... You will not be disappointed. - I am a Radiohead fan. I also grew up on reggae (my parents are Jamaican so I know reggae... it's in my blood). A good friend of mine is the lead singer on one of these songs and so I happened to hear it while hanging out with him. After I heard the song (Electioneering) wanted to hear the entire album.
2015-04-12
2. Domestic Tranquility!!! - After hear way to much Radiohead (because that's my wifes jam and I dig her..) and my never really liking them but Loving my reggae riddims ( which my loving wife has patiently endured..) we have found musical harmony in this album we both can crank up and enjoy!! ( I don't always listen to reggae but when I do so do my neighbors ;) So Big Up Easy!!! You've created a bridge 'pon overstanding and deepest groove!
Nuff Respect
2013-12-21
3. The Best!!!! - I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I'm usually disgusted by the feeble attempts of anybody recreating music from one of the most influential of all of all time in the alternative genre. But this album is THE BEST project covering Radiohead's OK Computer, which is NOT an easy task to do! Musically this band has limitless amounts talent to bring forward for your listening pleasure. If you love reggae and you love Radiohead then you need to buy this album!
2012-04-11
4. Yay Radiodread, boo creepy foot dr. guy! - This coming from a Radiohead purist. I discovered Radiohead at the "old" : Club way back and have followed them to "In Rainbows". This is one of the best collaborations I've heard. These guys know how to put a band together. I actually like "Electioneering" and "Karma Police" better than the originals. I know, bite my tongue. Love it or hate it, "Radiodread" did a great job of covering a really complex and complicated album. I love it, my neighbors hate it!
2009-03-22
5. I can't stop listening to this album - I just got this album all I can say is that they nailed OK computer to the T. OK computer is my favorite album by radiohead. I got Dub side of the moon cause I'm a Floyd nut and I dug these guys. If you love reggae or a big fan of Pink Floyd or Radiohead or both get those albums you won't regret it at all.
2008-05-16
6. WOW - I'm a big Radiohead fan. When I heard of this remake, I just was not interested. However, after listening to some of the previews I purchased it on a lark. All I can say is WOW. This collection stands on its own as a great way to revisit the original OK Computer album from a reggae perspective. This is not a novelty album - this is the real thing!
2008-01-04
7. Amazingly Good!!! - Who would ever think that classic albums by Floyd and Radiohead could ever be so creatively and effectively interpreted into reggae. Easy Star All Stars have done another great job with Radiohead's OK Computer. If I had to select an album to do a reggae version, I wouldn't have ever picked this one. I guess that's why I'm a listener and not a musician. Very well done!!
2007-11-28
8. excellent interpretation of an excellent album - in my humble opinion, an excellent interpretation of a classic album, which is very tough to do. in fact, there are times when the reggae versions (dare I say it) outshine the original versions. if you're a fan of radiohead and enjoy reggae as well, this is a can't miss.
2007-08-18
9. Good stuff, but not what it could've been. - When you listen to this album, make sure you don't have the impression that it's supposed to be a cover act. The Easy Star All-Stars do what they do best, and just make somthing brand new out of an already prolific work. There only places this album faulters is when it doesn't stray away from it's original content. "Paranoid Android" doesn't even have a reggae beat till two thirds into the song, and "Subterranean Homesick Alien" should have had some serious re-tooling. Altogether, it's an amazing piece of work. Considering their high ambitions, the Easy Star All-Stars do pretty damn good. Not as good as their amazing effort on Dub Side of the Moon. I defy you to listen to Toots sing "Let Down" and not burst out in tears of happiness.

1. Stickfigure - I am new to this band and I dig them. Heard them on Pandora and had to purchase. The music and the enhanced voice get redundant but the vibe and soul are solid. I really got turned on when I heard the Specials tribute on Smokestack. It made me happy to see that modern bands still acknowledge their genius.
There is not alot of newer music that can be classified as Great.
This band is definately not Great!
But they are definately Good!
If you dig on the Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, etc. type sound then you will not be disappointed.......at least I wasn't.
2015-04-16
2. STICKFIGURE IS AMAZING!!! - been a mega fan since when i happed to check out the burial ground album, recently saw them in Bakersfield, CA at a local bar in concert and they dont disappoint buy every album its worth it and this is true music with good vibes. Keep it up stickfigure you guys and also Cocoa the dog...are awesome.....
2014-06-03
3. Awesome people. Awesome music - I'm a South Lake Tahoe local. Before I ever knew of this band I was at a Regge concert at the casinos and one of my best friends was wearing there shirt telling me and everyone all about how good they are and he was just at there concert and next thing you know the whole band was standing in front of us introducing themselves and giving my buddy props for sporting there shirt. Super awesome band that appreciate there fans. Keep up the good work boys!!!

4. RedBullder - I am writing this after having discovered Scott through his latest album, Smoke Stack. I have since purchased all of his albums and they've been spinning on my iPhone for the last weeks. He is very talented, but what sticks out for me is his ability to create a melody. Hawaii Song and Livin It are great examples of his very unique approach to song writing. He then takes those melodies and does a simply beautiful job of producing great music. While not his creation, he even manages to improve a seemingly un-improvable Johnny Cash standard, Fulsom Prison. I know he just published Smoke Stack, but I'm already looking forward to his next creation.
2012-07-30
5. Awesome - Stick Figure has always been able to make a killer chill tune out of some simple instrumentals by combining it in a way thats pretty genius. This album does the same thing but takes it a step further than any of the other albums by stretching your mind further along with the progression of his music. Stick Figure captures a new element thats new in his music giving it a deeper feeling while still making an album you dont need to ever skip a song on.
2011-03-07
6. Smoke Stack!!!! - I bought Vibes Alive, it has such a good rhythm, it reminded me of when I was or years old, looking at a cartoon shows on T.V. of a train running down the tracks to a melody like this one. Great memories as a child! It really moves you inside. Like driving your first convertable car you bought when you were just years old! I also bought Hawaii Song and Fight the feelings. George!!!
2011-02-09
7. Water for the thirsty soul!!! - Stick Figure's album Smoke Stack is an awesome southern California style reggae album. Tracks like "Vibes Alive" and Hawaii Song" are in constant rotation in my car. I totally recommend getting this album and any other works by Stick Figure.....you won't be disappointed!!
2010-10-14
8. Set - Sick, sick, sick. This is truly one of those rare albums that you can just push play and listen to every single song without skipping through. Stick Figure absolutely kills it giving the likes of Rebelution, TBS and Iration a run for their money. Throw this album on for a road trip or at the beach, you will not be dissapointed.
2010-07-14
9. Five stars!!! - Scott!!! Excellent job on the new album "Smoke Stack" from start to finish , this new album is going to be the break through for Stick Figure. I can't wait to see what's in store for the future of stick figure... Btw I got a great deal on t-shirt and cd for $ at the official Stick Figure website.... If you love this band check it out !!!
2010-06-25
10. Without a doubt, the best upcoming Reggae Band - I pop in this album, and the only feeling I feel is "good"! Livin' it is by far my favorite song on the album. You can't help but feel good. Your wife could deny you sex, and how terrible would that feel, but then you pop in this CD and bam, you no longer feel bad! It's that good!

1. Reggae all Day!!!!!... - Rebelution is Friggin Awesome!!! I hope they continue to have this style for many more albums. I love Rock, Rap, Reggae, and Jazz. The bands I listen to now is Rebelution, Sublime, , Pepper, Tribal Seeds, Iration, and Slightly Stoopid are among my favorites. All of there style defines me from head to toe. If you don't know who some of these bands are I suggest you take my word and give them a chance. You won't be disappointed!
Satisfaction Guaranteed!!!....
2012-08-17
2. Best band ever... - This band is increadible. I highly recommend buying every single one of their songs. Never having to use the skip button is awesome when listening to these guys because they are so good. While Safe and Sound is great, i suggest you download What I Know. If you like any reggae at all, or music in general, BUY EVERY SINGLE SONG ON ALL ALBUMS.
2009-09-02
3. Rebelution-- A Reggae New Wave REvolution - This album is amazing, along with all of Rebelutions other stuff. Their music brings pure vibes to the listener and is the perfect soundtrack to a laid back spliff burnin night, brilliant stuff. If you have a chance, go see them live, they are EVEN BETTER live!
2009-02-24
4. Of the best Reggae bands! - I have been into reggae music for the last years. I never heard of Rebelution before "Safe and Sound" from Courage to Grow came out as a Single of the Week, but I sure wish I had. These guys are great. "Safe and Sound" from Courage to Grow is my personal favorite; it's great for listening to on a road trip and just for listening to at home. It's a very relaxing song, but is still upbeat. Definitely recommend all the songs, they are all phenomenal!
2008-07-24
5. Rebelution is Epic - The best CD ever. You can party to Rebelution or chill to it. They mix chill rock like The Beautiful Girls and Current Swell with cali reggae bands like The B Foundation and The Expendables. This CD is by far the most listened to CD by all my friends. Courage to Grow is epic, star.
2008-01-09
6. Just scratches the surface... - These guys have a full album out now....don't know why Itunes doesn't have it. BUT, I would recommend going to CDbaby right now and buying the album. It's called "The Courage to Grow." If you like the few songs on Itunes, just wait until you have the entire album. Rebelution come to Cincinnati!!!!

1. laughable - This band is terrible and represents all that is sick and wrong with the reggae ska/ punk movenment. I respect and love the new sound that was unleashed by sublime years ago. But bands like this are the backstreet boys of the movement, pumping out 'catchy' tunes with no real regard to the instrumental creativity a band can achieve on this music genre. All the songs sound the same and the boys are focusing more on their harmonies than their guitars. Bradley Nowell would laugh if he heard this band today.
2009-12-26
2. Great EP. Everyone who loves the so-cal reggae sound will love this album. - I had heard Iration a few times before and really loved the sound. I decided to you can't go wrong with $ for an EP so I bought it. One of my best purchases thus far on iTunes. I've since purchased all their albums and have been spreading the word about Iration ever since I bought this album.
2009-06-30
3. Iration Keeps the Party Rocking Between Albums - An evolving party-reggae sound outta Santa Barbara with Hawaiian heart. The opening lines for "Falling" beyond catchy. From Musebin: "Probably as close to the perfect songs you could release together at the time." They're moving beyond that college reggae sound and onto new places. Can't wait to hear what their upcoming album sounds like.
2009-01-08
4. Very good EP! I Want more for sure not just a sample - I bought cd's today and this one ranks number out of . This CD is great and falling and electricity are absolutely amazing tracks. Well written and well sung. There are some recording issues I have with Wait and See as it sounds poorly engineered at parts but this EP is definately going to be played plenty. I also bought Stick Figure burning ocean--absolutely sick, and even better Clear Conscience in to history---probably the best cd of this year and the past decade! Good luck to iration and thanks for at least giving us this sample it sounds good and the next album you do will probably be up there for me with a clear conscience cd or stick figure cd tHANKS

1. truth and rights - SOJA is the best American reggae band on the scene. This album was traditional roots reggae with an American front man(Jacob Hemphil) not trying to fake a Jamaican accent! The whole album can be played continous without skipping any tracks. I have seen these guys live times and every show is a new experience! I highly recommend this album and all other SOJA albums. They have just released Born in Babylon last summer, another success! SOJA has their own unique blend of roots reggae mixed with many other influences,from rock,roots reggae,percussions,to Latin jazz. Truly amazing!!!

2. Yes I - Give Thanks and Praise to the Most High JAH RastaFarI. I am a Rastaman that lives and breathes Reggae music. I was skeptical at first to listen to SOJA because of the fan base was not of a Rootical Genre. When I & I listened to this album, I felt Word, Sound and Power and Truth with Righteousness. If you want to open your mind and feel JAH's creation, buy this album. I purchased everything these Gideon Soja's have put out after I heard it. Bless & Love and Live in Righteousness and the gates of His Majesty shall let you in.
