 Spearhead's BEST Album by far! September 11, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Michael Franti and Spearhead have outdone them selves with this album produced in Jamaica! Rockin fun songs full of love and anger about injustice and a message of peace that sound awesome!!!
This album is worth buying! I love almost all the songs which is rare with any album or band! I don't listen to much reggae, this is so much more than that. You can even hear even some Eminem influence in the song Future.
If you like Spearhead or Michael Franti at all, you should definitely pick this one up... you will be impressed!!!
If only radio would play it, instead of the JUnK music thats empty and lame! All Rebel Rockers is the best CD I have bought since Rage Against the Machine debuted!
A must for all Spearhead fans September 19, 2008

I can appreciate that this may not be his best recording. Personally I like "Stay Human" and "Yell Fire" and I had a hard time imagining how he was going to top or follow "Yell Fire". A lot of the same influences are on this recording - almost like it picks up where that left off. Still - there is enough great music on this to make it worthwhile - and every time I listen to it I find something new to appreciate. Michael Franti is the modern day revolutionary song writer of our time - just like the Clash were in the 80's. I think his message is beautiful and thought provoking. This is worth buying for "Nobody Right, Nobody Wrong" alone.
Great effort by Franti September 24, 2008

It would be hard to top, or even match, a masterpiece like "Yell Fire," that's a given. But "All Rebel Rockers" is still better than 95% of all the music coming out these days. Franti's lyrics are still pointed, and there is a good balance between "life is beautiful" songs and "rebel" songs. Musically the tunes are very strong. It actually might be a bit better "introduction" to Franti's music than "Yell Fire," which is something of a concept album.
Cherine Anderson is featured on several tracks. In some cases her harmonies complement Franti's voice really well, while on other tracks she just talks in the background. I don't care for that sort of stuff, but I can see how others might find it appealing. She does seem to be enjoying herself, and that adds to the atmosphere. Overall this is a great collection of material and a must-have for all Franti fans.
Best Album for our times... September 20, 2008
I have been looking for music that expresses the insanity of our times. There is so much going on in the world today, and there is virtually no one brave enough to speak up. Michael Franti and Spearhead are amazing at creating beautiful pieces of music. I love the message in their lyrics, the amazing music, and the sultry voice! I can not stop listening to this CD. I would highly recommend it.
Awesome CD, Don't pass this one up! September 20, 2008
Michael Franit and Spearhead have outdone themselves again! This is a great CD, you won't be disapointed. Almost all of the songs have a great dance beat and are backed-up by Cherine Anderson, who has an amazing voice. If you have a chance to see this band live, DO IT, they are incredible live!
This CD is very upbeat and will lift you up and feed your soul with love and happiness. Peace to all!
