Amazing album

Those who have given this album a bad review clearly have no taste in music. I haven't been able to quit listening to this album since I bought it. Ben Harper's talent as a musican and songwriter really shine on this record.

Disappointing

I made the mistake of buying the album before listening to any songs, since I've never been let down by a Ben Harper CD. Well, there's a first for everything.

Beautiful Album

The album is clearly divided into hard songs and soft songs (hence the need for 2 separate discs). The whole album is very multi-dimensional, ranging from ballads to more upbeat, funky music. Some have a very clear stand, like "Black Rain" which is a very political song, and some of the songs seem to be about life in general, but the whole album is very poignant nonetheless.
