Street Signs

I enjoyed this album even tho it was hell to track down, not being featured in England or Hungary - I’m still not sure if I listened to it all, and some of the tracks had to be covers. Due to these issues, this album may be rated lower than it otherwise would. I am not sorry for this. It gave me unneeded stress on my holiday. Favourite track: Believe.

I liked the latin funk of this album but it didn't distinguish itself to me otherwise. What's Spanish for 'meh'?

Positive, uplifting, colorful…and a bit dull. Seemed like a great idea in the early 00s: blending genres and believing in brotherhood and taking a stance against conservatism. Some of the experiment results here are positive, but it always feels like the total is less than the sum of its parts.

How many world music styles/sub-genres can be shoved into a single album? Whatever the precise answer to that question, this record has entirely too many.

Only 2 songs of the album on spotify

That was super fun and at first I thought i was listening to Serbian music, the vibe and instruments were the same. I will definitely not be listening to this again, except maybe believe, but I had a great time!

I had never heard of this band before and their music definitely isn’t something I’d typically listen to. But the album was fun and energetic. I’d probably have to listen to it a couple more times to familiarize myself to the style.

I wanna like Ozomatli. They obviously have a great feel for the music of LatAm and mix it well with some funky acidic old rock. But then they go and derail it with some really bad rapping. Really kills the vibe.

Yea, not bad

Similar to gorillaz

Better than I thought.. Latin-Rock/Rap that can be fun, but probably won’t revisit.

Not too bad. Just not really my thing 2ith335

A colorful mix with some interesting influences but ultimately not one of my favorite albums.

I had no sides what I was listening to, but I liked it. The blend Latin, Middle Eastern, EDM, jam rock and reggaeton was weird and cool and a perfect start to summer. Key tracks: Love and Hope and Street Signs. This is definitely a listen again.

This is alright. It sounds like a slightly more eclectic Santana Supernatural. It kicked off pretty great and then just sort of faded into the background for me. I may have vaguely heard of this band before but had never listened to them. I wouldn't turn it off if it was on but I doubt I'll reach for this one again.

This was such a fun album! It certainly defies genre expectations. There is tons of Latin flare in here, mixed with rock and even hip-hop! And really, the "Latin flare" exhibited here is more than that -- it's mastery over MANY Latin styles. The opening track, "Believe" mixes in a handful of other unexpected genres, notably a very South Asian sound! I also really appreciated the mixed-language lyrics as it added a layer of complexity and intrigue to the album. Ozomatli gives us something rather unorthodox. There is just so much going on here, and honestly, all of it is good!

fun. fine.

A challenging listen. In the sense that it was challenging to find somewhere online to actually listen to it; otherwise these latin vibes went down pretty easily. I thought the blend of styles worked well, except maybe the rap and record-scratch bits which sound a bit naff and dated to my ears. It’s hard to form a 100% complete picture of the album as my YouTube listening experience was fleshed out with live versions, drum covers and demos, but I liked most of what I heard. If I could listen to it properly perhaps I’d like it a little more or a little less, but for now I’ll hedge my bets and give it 3.5 stars.

Pretty fun. Good party music.

Un 3 politico perché l’album non esiste su Spotify e sono troppo pigra per cercare le altre canzoni qua e là :)

È carino? Sì. È valsa la pena cercare le canzoni singolarmente su YouTube (e non trovarle nemmeno tutte)? Più o meno. Lo andrò mai a riascoltare? No

Well produced and arranged music but not that interesting.

Thoughts before listening: Latin inspired hip hop funk group. This band used to hit my radar cause their style got them booked on a lot of the jamband festivals I was going to. Pretty surprised to see them on this list though since I never thought of them as being overly well known. Review: So Santana's Supernatural album meets Jurassic 5? This isn't bad, but as has often been the case, it feels like the editors missed when trying to guess which mid-00s albums were going to stand the test of time. This has largely been forgotten over the last 20 years, and quite frankly I don't remember it making much of a splash back then either. Best song here is "Saturday Night" which has a chorus that sounds like what Eminem was doing around the same time mixed with a ska style breakdown in the chorus. I am also enjoying the more Latin inspired songs. Very chill sound...this gets 3-stars.

Fine and fun, spicy and swinging – one might like it better if one were a better dancer.

Only partially on Spotify

It’s got that nice Latino upbeat vibe which is hard to dislike, and the rap/hip-hop mash up was decent, albeit at times it was a bit too Ricky Martin musically speaking.

Couldn't listen to whole album - not available in full on any standard platforns

Didnt have time to delve into deeply. Like but not as good as Santana?

It was kinda fun and upbeat, the lyrics weren't the deepest and It tailed off a bit at the end.

The only other artist I've heard say their own name so many times on their music is Jason Derulo. Parts of this album are Jason Derulo-tier but other parts were quite good actually.

This was fun, more of a 3.5 than a 3, just got a bit repetitive and a few duds

This one was fun to listen to

Somewhat interesting Latin rock/alternative album. No real standout songs and nothing to bring me back for another listen.

Latin inspired funk and shit like that, rather shallow though.

Shoutout Madden 2005! Hit stick!

This was the first album on the list, about 600 in, that I was unable to find anywhere online. Luckily a lovely guy in Germany sold it to me. In the form of a CD … Which I listened to on my friend’s PS2 … A true 00’s album experience. I could have done without some of the more rap oriented songs. The turntables as well. But it’s mainly just Santana lite. And due to the fact that I now somehow own this record I might be more positive towards it than I should be - but I feel like we’ve been a journey together already.

Really interesting fusions of genres going on here. I loved the first four tracks and couldn’t really connect with much of the rest. Favorite songs were Believe, Street Signs, and Cuando Canto

Believe 3 Love and Hope 3 Street Signs 2.8 (Who Discovered) America? 3.2 Who's to Blame 2 Te Estoy Buscando 3 Saturday Night 2.4 Déjame en Paz 2.5 Santiago 2.5 Ya Viene el Ozomatli Sol (The Beatle Bob Remix) 1.9 Doña Isabelle 2.5 Nadie Te Tira 3 Cuando Canto 2.8 Score: 2.661538462

I quite likes this, but the alhum kinda falls off after the first two tracks. If the rest were as good as those two, and if I didn't have to cobble together this album from like 3 different sources, this would've been an easy 4.

Mixed feelings. I was actually pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed this fun little record. The first two songs are clear highlights, and even after that it's pretty good, high tempo throughout. Thing is though, they often say 'best ability is availability', which this one does not have. Could have easily been a 4, but too annoying to listen to with having to find songs from different sources.

I listened to the Coming Up album from 2003 because this one wasn't on my streaming service. I've always liked the more Latin styles of music. The album I listened to put me in the mood of traveling with purpose through a beautiful yet unforgiving landscape...reminds me of a girl I know.

First time listening to this group and I like them. But then again, I like any Latin inspired music.

I want to like this more than I do, but the longer it went on the more it just reminded me of the salon I used to work at for my summer job where the owner insisted on playing Latin music ONLY. She did this because she believed it put people in more of a "spending" mood. Meanwhile, I can't tell you the number of complaints I got over my summers there from actual regular customers wondering why the music was always the same and always lame. Oh and by the way, her version of "Latin music" was Lou Bega, Aqua, and 3 mail order purchased 90's Samba CDs. The sound system was a 5 CD changer boom box and those were the only CDs ever allowed to be played in it. This album would have been an improvement to all of those CDs - and yet, my past sonic trauma is still triggered by this sound and style. I listened, I was surprised by how peppy it was and I bopped a bit, but I won’t be coming back again.

Un punto menos por lo difícil que es poder oír el puto álbum completo.

Genuinely had no idea what to expect before going into this one. Was pleasantly surprised by the rock/latin/rap fusion going on here. I liked the Spanish lyric sections, but the rapping is where this album gets high praise from me.

It's been a while since I listened to Latin jazz - hip hop fusion. This album is good, but different than other Ozomatli albums I remember. Less hip hop. 3/5

Talented musicians with good beats, but not my cup of tea overall. Still, solid.

Believe - 7/10 Love And Hope - 7/10 Street Signs - 7/10 (Who Discovered) America? - 8/10 Who's To Blame - 8/10 Te Estoy Buscando - 7.5/10 Saturday Night - 8/10 Déjame En Paz - 7.5/10 Santiago - 7.5/10 Ya Viene El Sol (The Beatle Bob Remix) - 7.5/10 Doña Isabelle - 7/10 Nadie Te Tira - 7/10 Cuando Canto - 7/10 TOTAL - 96/130

This album was a little all over the place. It is primarily Latin funk with some hip hop and jazz influence. I enjoyed this album the most when it kept to the funk and jazz aspects. The rap bits almost feel like an afterthought. It was common at this time to have rap verses but they are never the strongest part of a song.

I like this one. I had not heard of this band or heard any of their music, at least not that I recall, and this is a fun album. Catchy, good energy, and very skilled performers.

A little long winded but p good.

Half the experience is trying to hunt down the entire album. I listened to some Youtube playlist that was missing several songs, had some random dude's drum cover with 1k views in place of one of them, and a version recorded during the pandemic over Zoom or something. This is schizophrenic as fuck. I have no idea what I listened to. It was pretty fun, but I'm very confused as to what this even is or why it's noteworthy. Love Chali 2na though. Man's got one of the best voices in hip hop. I wish he was on more songs.

Not bad. Cool mixture of rock and Latin. Unfortunately not available on Apple Music in my country.

This feels distinctly early-2000s to me and I'm not sure exactly what it is about it. It's got this like latin boy band thing going on, with a rap verse or two on some of the songs. It's a mix of English and Spanish lyrics throughout. It's solid but somewhat unremarkable overall. A few songs that are decent, a few that I really didn't like very much. I don't really remember it, but apparently "Saturday Night" was on the Madden 2005 soundtrack, so I'm sure I had heard it before. I generally liked the non-rap songs a bit better, and think they're at their best when they lean into the some of the more latin-sounding instrumentals, otherwise they can come across a bit generic boy-band. There's a few points where it gets a bit funky too which were cool ("Nadie Te Tira" in particular). The random 1-minute piano song near the end was an interesting choice. Overall this is perfectly fine and generally pretty fun sounding (though the lyrics are fairly political at times), but doesn't hit any major highs for me. Favorite song: (Who Discovered) America? Other: Saturday Night, Ya Viene El Sol, Nadie Te Tira, Cuando Canto 2/5/24

I liked a lot of the instrumentation. I didn't like the rap parts, nor the nasally guy's vocals. Best track: (Who Discovered) America? Worst: Who's to Blame.

Ahh well, not on Spotify and only some tracks available on YouTube. Tbh 9 tracks was probably about enough, 13 would be overkill. I liked it and it was a fun listen. Kinda want to give it 3.5

It's fun but not super memorable. A cool mix of genres though..overall a good time!

One of those bands that can get a festival crowd going, but I don't really need to hear records of. Lucky, given they're not on Spotify

Found most of the album on YouTube. It was fine but not worth much effort to seek out. Who's to blame was probably the best song from it. Would recommend that one.

This is fun. Not perfect, but really good.

Interesting LA-Latino fusion. Their song “Saturday Night” was featured in video games and films. A pretty unique sound.

it was good but mostly in spanish 3

Ces gars-là imitent si bien les beatles qu'ils mériteraient presque une émission quotidienne animée par Nikos.

2.9

I liked some parts quite a bit, and not others. Ends up right in the middle.

This must’ve gone hard in 2006 because no way this was added any later. Usung latin music makes your album at least a little good however so I can’t hate too much

Could only listen the first two tracks. I wouldn't mind if the rest of the album was also available

This was all over the place. After the first couple songs, I thought they were an east Indian boy band. Then they threw in a bunch of genres. Not bad though.

Good album!

This band is one of those weird blasts from the past that I sorta forgot about. I remember seeing them live some time in the 00s and really enjoying them. Then I just sorta forgot they existed over the next 15 years. I enjoy the music on this album a lot, that's where it really shines. The vocals on this album have not aged particularly well. There's nothing wrong with them, they just sound outdated now. If this album was entirely instrumental, I would have rated it higher, but the rapping especially weakens the experience for me 3/5

This was a fun latin/ hip hop fusion album and featured a song I had forgotten about from my childhood. Not a genre I would seek out, but I can tell they are among the best at what they do. 6/10

Fun album, with good production. Style and production is incredibly of it's time. Not my kind of genre, but fun with interesting hiphop elements.

Up beat, a lot of fun.

For being a fusion of American and Hispanic rock/rap, it is actually pretty decent, but I think the downfall of the combination is just the perceived lack of authenticity. Any attempt at serious commentary, particularly on a few songs, is just hard to be taken seriously with the latin rap/rock combo. The band certainly knows how to write a hook and finds really catchy melodies to make this a really easy listen. 6/10

Un album qui part en force et qui est très intéressant par son mélange éclectique de styles. Des gros bangers et une ambiance festive. Mais vers la deuxième moitié je trouve que ça commence à s'essoufler et ce qui rendait l'album intéressant le rend fatiguant à la longue. 6/10

Ozomatli's "Street Signs," released in 2004, is a diverse and genre-blending effort that captures the band's eclectic musical spirit. This album is a fusion of Latin, hip-hop, and rock influences, creating a lively and danceable atmosphere. While tracks like "Saturday Night" and "Who's to Blame" showcase the band's musical prowess, the album as a whole lacks a cohesive thread, and the multitude of styles may feel a bit scattered. While it falls short of being a groundbreaking release, "Street Signs" is an enjoyable listen for those appreciating a mix of cultural influences. A middling 3/5 rating reflects its varied but somewhat disjointed nature.

A veritable Jack In the Box of music. Sure, it's a bit confusing to follow-up a burger, with a taco and an egg roll, but it's tasty.

Cool but not my style

Pretty good. Will I ever listen again? Nope.

This was a fun blend, but there was something about the production that just rubbed me the wrong way.

Had to track a copy of this on Discog as it wasn't available on any of the platforms I subscribe to. Blended world music, surfing several genres.

Some of the hip hop seems corny. But the horns, guitar, and funky vibes are cool

Pleasantly surprised. Love the latin rock and in your face salsa vibes. Reminds me of Cat Empire here and there.

I remember seeing Ozomatli at a festival a few years ago and being impressed enough to go find some albums. Sadly the recorded material was underwhelming, not quite able to capture the energy of the live show. Revisiting this today, I still can't quite shake that slightly disappointed feeling.

Yet another ex-1001 album!™ http://1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie.wikidot.com/album-artists-a-z-ex Aside from the opening track, the rest of the album was unavailable on Spotify. Listening on YouTube wasn't fun. Turns out my neighbour had a copy, (thank you Sam! 🙏) This album wasn't what I was expecting at all. There's a big old mix of genres and influences going on here, definitely worth exploring. I'd picked up on Chali 2na on the Who's To Blame track, (such a distinct voice, who I mostly know from Linkin Park's remix album). Overall I enjoyed it, but it's a bit all over the place to be a classic album.

At first this seemed easily comparable to Ra, but as the album went on the diversity kept growing. This was really interesting, not really pigeonholed within grunge.

Mezcla de pop con ritmos electrónicos y con toques étnicos. Con solo 2 temas es difícil opinar. No pintaba mal, pero faltan más cortes disponibles

An interesting fusion of salsa, jazz and hip hop. When it works it sounds great, like Los Lobos meets A Tribe Called Quest, but when it doesn’t it’s super annoying, like Ricky Martin meets the Black Eyed Peas. I almost wrote this off completely given my ignorance around Latin/World music, but when I heard the banger that is Nadie Te Tira, it clicked. This is definitely the perfect example of a band that wins a Grammy, mulit-cultural enough to seem like an “edgy” pick, but with enough radio friendly presence to score an animated film. Overall pretty mediocre.

Love and Hope was really good

It gets off to a decent start, with the Blaxploitation funk of "Believe". I like the mix of different genres and the strings, without straying too far off track. Bringing hip-hop into the mix was inevitable but not my favourite and the overall sound is a bit too Grammy-ready for me. Between a 2 and a 3.

I'm honestly not sure if I managed to listen to the real album or not. Found a playlist on youtube but some tracks were missing and some were not original recordings. It was very different from most music on here and I enjoyed most of it. I don't think it would end up on any of my toplists but it felt summery and fresh.

Enjoyable album. I kept wondering where Carlos Santana was. I liked the more rock/funk tracks with horns the most. Solid band.

It was an interesting mix of Latin and hip hop. I can't remember any of the songs. It was alright but I don't think I would listen to it again. It was better than a 2 not really a 3. I will round up

Better than I thought it would be, but dimery has a real knack of picking albums that have lost their relevance. I imagine these guys are terrific live. But on recording? Eh it’s ok. A must listen? Nah. A have a listen and maybe you’ll enjoy. 2.5 rounded up.

My kids were totally into this band. Pretty sure they saw them at The Metro in Sydney in 2007. This sort of Latin dance music wasn’t new but it sure was catchy. The use of rapping was probably what attracted my kids to the band. I see that Track 5, Who’s To Blame, features rapper Chali 2na, from Jurassic 5., who also produced it. It’s one of the cuts that features a strong middle-eastern influence. Check out the lyrics to that - I imagine they were penned by Chali. I saw him perform earlier this year at the Oxford Art Factory, at a gig promoted by my son. The guy is a saint. I also loved the track (Who Discovered) America? - worth it for the fantastic distorted guitar break in the middle. The whole disc was an extremely enjoyable listen.

This album is a gumbo of hip hop, rock and latin funk, with a gumbo of world music influences (ska, middle eastern, a touch of reggae, lots of different latin styles). It's fun, and I'm sure it goes off like a bomb live. I kept thinking "I bet this is the sort of band that played Womadelaide" [annual Australian world music festival], and sure enough, they headlined there in 2005, touring this record. But there are a bunch of bands out there that do this sort of world music stew (cooked on a rock/funk base to make it easy to understand for western audiences). They are all entertaining live, but their records all sound pretty similar, and often don't capture the excitement or energy of their live show. I had some difficulty tracking this album down online (only two songs on spotify, patchy coverage on youtube), which suggest to me that this album does not have along-lasting relevance. It won a Grammy in the year of release, but it is not going on my want list. That said, if someone said they had a free ticket to see them at then Enmore Theatre, I would totally go.

It's a fun album, and the first song is absolute killer. After that amazing opener, the album faults a little bit in songs that are eerily similar, but it's a party in my headphones regardless, and you're all invited.

omöjligt att lyssna på, bra album 10/10

I'm not sure I was able to listen to all of this. I ended up listening to live versions of some of the tracks on YouTube. A shame because I quite enjoyed some of what I heard. I'd feel bad giving this a 2 and I'm sure I didn't experience a 3 so 4 it is.

I enjoyed this, I think, but it was tricky to find.

Fun in small doses. A little trying at full album length. Overall I liked it more than I didn't.

I've never heard of this band before. I really enjoy their sound. Gives me Cat Empire vibes

This album is the hot mess we've grown to love from Ozomatli where Latin vibes and hip hop lyrics blend with DJ music. This album is fun and lively and has the protest movement themes of their other music. That said, it doesn't touch the 1998 break out self-titled album which is a truly groundbreaking one, especially for the time. If you ever get a chance, go see them. They throw a good party.

This is quite the multi-stylistic album. I hear Middle Eastern, Latino, hip hop, and American rock music. I like most of the styles, but they feel jammed together rather than cohesive.

Definitely enjoyed this more than I expected

A fun album, sounds like a party. Maybe that's why it wore me out - it started feeling long only about halfway through.

Meh, it’s fine but just feels like a pop party but that’s not my thing.

Fun mixture of styles. Makes me want to dance.

Yet another puzzling entry on this list. So how is it? It's alright. Some of the genre mashing clicks, some of it comes off as messy and corny. There are some really good hooks in here, but some duds in the tracklist too. It certainly wasn't an arduous listen to get through, so I thank them for that. At the very least, the band seems to be having constant fun, so it's hard no to crack at least a few smiles.

If this album was a street sign. it would be a "dead end" one for me. That sign would lead to a great place, objectively speaking--filled to the brim with ideas drawing from a vast array of genres going from latin funk-rock to rap, with a clear emphasis on so-called "world music" (like the gnawa/qawwali-inspired opener "Believe"). But as great as that place is on the paper, that early-naughts version of Santana still feels like a dead end for me. Because the whole thing is a little too safe and devoid of personality, as skilled the players and composers in that band were. And because this album didn't necessarily age very well, like a lot of stuff from the naughts. So unless I knew someone living in that dead end street, there would be no reason for me to return there after my first visit. Oh, another thing. I fully concur with the author currently topping the reviews section of this app: there's an awful lot of divergence between different versions of the 1001 Albums book, with a lot of more contemporary releases added and then quickly removed depending on the reissues of the original book. And indeed, it's almost like the people who curate this don't know how to evaluate music form the 21st century for its lasting impact. 3/5 for the purposes of this list, which translates to a 8/10 grade for more general purposes (5 + 3). Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 501 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 237 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 114 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 149 (including this one)

Awesome music, would love to listen to at a party!

not my cheese but i don't hate it. looks like i can add the broad spectrum of latino music to my list of genres that don't tickle my pickle.

HOND

Endast två låtar lyssningsbara på spotify, de var dock bra

An interesting combination of styles and activism. I don't know that it wholly worked for me, but it was very fascinating to hear.

Groovy, mood-lifting music.

Very middle of the road album for me, and yet somehow the most 2000s band I have ever heard. I appreciate the mixing of genres, but for the most part, the songs were not memorable.

A little hard to rate. I didn't really dislike it too much, it certainly had moments but it never really drew me in either. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could. It really would be an album that I felt neutral on. A 3 though because a 2 would be too low and this is probably one of the better (the best?) World album that I've come across so far.

One of those albums where I couldn't seem to find the whole thing. Quite enjoyed what I could though...

Indifferent towards this one. Nothing particularly notable to me.

Some of their stuff I like and some I don’t care for at all. And so it is with this album.

Who's To Blame with a Chali 2na verse! The rest of the album is meh but pleasant.

3.5

first listen it's not very good imo

Surprisingly fun! Wildly diverse and good vibes.

I didn't love this album but I did enjoy it a lot more than I was expecting to.

Couldnt get this on Amazon music but listened to about 3/4s on YouTube. It was alright, seemed like quite a modern take on Latin American music with a few middle eastern influences? The brass was good when it appeared and in general pretty fun. Can't say I'd seek it out again but a decent one listen. 2.5.

The difficulty in finding this put me off initially.... However it wasn't bad. Interesting sounds with some hip hop. I did think some of the rapping was basic though The highlight was "who's to blame" as I immediately recognised Charlie 2na from Jurassic 5. He was one of the founding members of this group apparently! That alone is bringing it to a 3

3.4/5 latin funk

not on Spotify, not going looking

Ozomatli takes all of the bad tropes of latin and alternative hip hop and combines them together in this album. The latin redux barely produced must-listen albums worthy of a list, this isn't one of them. 3/5.

not bad

Could not listen to the album as could not find it anywhere on the internet. Heard two tracks which were good so my rating is gonna be given of the tracks i heard.

Some enjoyable stuff however I could only find maybe half of the tracks online

Hip Latin beats for you and me

Starts off with a middle eastern vibe then the Latin hip-hop rock kicks in and it's party time. Surprisingly eclectic with traditional Latin as well as the modern fusion.

Very fun album. I liked it a lot but wasn’t necessarily wowed. I’d give it between 3 and 4 stars

Like a stew that has some much stuff in it doesn't develop its own taste. This multicultural mix is certainly interesting to listen to - even fun, but ultimately, I am searching for a more distinct identity. Some bands, Ozomatli is one, are best heard live.

Totally new to me, although I did play a video game that had one of the songs in it. Fun.

Some of this was so good but some was so bad

listened to a bit of it. no really my thing, maybe if i were drunk lol. also sounds like a band the mars volta would list as an influence

Over het geheel vond ik wat ik hiervan kon luisteren via YouTube boven verwachting aardig. Normaal zou ik dit al snel hebben weggezet als iets waar ik niet tegen kan, maar ergens had dit iets waardoor ik het toch best boeiend bleef vinden.

Can’t find this anywhere. Placeholder 3. Bit harsh to give something a 1 when not listened to it, but won’t let me submit without a score

intriguing sounds

Ozymandias

I wanted to give this 1 star for being hard to find but unfortunately it is actually quite good

I liked it! Sort of a more modern version of Santana with a tiny bit of middle eastern/Kashmir type of stuff going on. 3 stars.

Spotify only had 2 songs from this album. I liked the Latin funk. I didn't much like the rap though.

Another example of why I love this project. I can understand why this album could seem like a total hodge-podge mess of sounds, but I really like that chaotic mix of genres. It keeps you on your toes, never bores, and is pretty catchy. From Latin American rap, to Arabic beats, the sounds of the world feel more cohesive than something like OK. N.B - Really difficult to find this album online which is a shame. Also the whole debate on separating art from artists is a hot potato, but it's nice to see a band promote positive political movements like workers' rights from their inception 20 years ago to the present day. 19/10/22

Nice mix of styles, but also a master of none. The rapping is pedestrian and boring. Started strong, but the quality fell off quite. Bit after the first 2-3 songs.

Fun, lively. I thought the album was great when it leaned heavily into the latin feel, and I wasn't as thrilled with the rapping. Felt a little cheesy. Favorite tracks: "Nadie Te Tira", "Believe"

If you your favorite song is “Livin La Vida Loca” you are gonna love this album Favorite part was the transition between Dona Isabelle and the following song

At times it gets a bit whiny but this is a respectable effort to mix Latin with a wide range of styles.

It was just ok

at-90s/early-aughts latin fusion is such a specific, yet recognizable sound

I was skeptical at first, but this was actually really fun!!

Te Estoy Buscando (para America?) Sounds very much the same. Saturday Night was a huge departure! Overall, it's a thumbs up!

It’s pretty much impossible to make a fair judgement of this album seeing that I could only listen to one song. Finding the rest proved exceedingly difficult. So while I quite liked the one track I heard (an interesting mixture of Latin, Arabic and hip-hop sounds), hopefully I’ll be able to give it a proper listen.

Immediate nostalgia when Saturday Night hit. Otherwise, a decent album, if uneventful. 3/5

Wasn't bad, but didn't do much for me either. There were parts that I liked, but overall it was a bit slow and long. 2.75/5

Pretty cool fusion of rock, latin and hip hop. Vocals aren't always my cup of tea. First track stuck out to me more than most of the rest.

I feel like this would be a hit if it was released today, primarily for the lyrics, which are absolute Twitter-level politics. At least the English tracks, which is partly why I tend to prefer the Spanish language material. When it goes full Latin, I am all in. Would like this better if it didn’t have as much nu metal tinge, I think. C+

strong 3, Pretty groovy, they were quite a refreshing sound

I liked Street Signs, it's undeniably cool and finds a really delicate but funky balance in mixing influences and genres. Perfect example of something I'd have no idea about were it not for this list, it's an easy 3/5, not truly memorable but a good fun listen.

Only one track on Spotify, and a few more songs on YouTube. I quite enjoyed what I heard tbh, and would be quite happy to listen to a whole album.  Really fun mix of genres, hiphop base with a few different latin influences. 3/5 (on the basis that I think this is what a whole album would've got).

Pretty good beats. 3.25

Some hot tracks, but middling other places.

Very fun album. Got great rhythm and lots of variety of songs.

Pretty decent, good hype album enjoy the Latin sounds - reminds me a bit of Ricky martin

The first album to defeat me in the sense that I was unable to find the complete album on any suitable service. Instead I listened to Ozomatli’s first album, which I owned, and selections from some other albums. I like Ozomatli. They mix some styles up together and whilst the whole thing isn’t going to tear up any trees, it’s perfectly decent well made music - Latin flair with hip hop beats. This hip hop head especially enjoys their collaborations with Chalib2na and De La Soul.

Interesting. 3/5

Curiosamente no estaba disponible en mi país, así que escuché otro de la misma banda.

Begins quite interesting with an interesting blend of genres and the latin roots, but as the album progresses turns into a more standard latin sound. Overall not bad, but doesn’t leave a lasting impression.

What a weirdly unique album. Genres and languages mixed that you don't often hear. However in the end, the big memorable thing about this album is the uniqueness, not the quality

Better than expected

I'm kind of surprised this album came out as late as it did. It feels like some kind of Latino pop collaboration out of the 90s, with a hip hop twist. Understand me, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This album is really tight musically, with fun grooves. The songs have a great fusion of styles that feels very natural and not pasted together. Great surprise appearance from Eddie Palmieri is all the proof you need that these guys are the real deal. I'm also pleased to hear a little Spanish on 1001 Albums, which has been weirdly absent thus far. It's only the 2nd most spoken language in the world, guys. Enjoyed this quite a bit. Fave Songs: Nadie Te Tira, Te Estoy Buscando, Santiago, (Who Discovered) America?, Love & Hope

This was fun, nothing special, but fun.

A very eclectic mix of sounds ranging from Bollywood and Sitars that was mixed with rap and Salsa dancing. I think it would be worth a listen to as a full album as it's kinda fun but also a little strange. Not sure how I feel about it as a whole because of how disjointed it felt trying to find as many tracks as possible. Only 2 songs were on Spotify AU. Could not find "Te Estoy Buscando", "Doña Isabelle" and "Nadie Te Tira"; for "Santiago" only found a drum cover, not ideal but could get a feel for it. Best (from what I heard): Love and Hope Worst (from what I heard): Ya Viene El Sol

Pretty ok tbh

Some great stuff on here outside of what I normally listen to. Huge fan of "Believe."

Sprawling and interesting. It slaps, but at the same time it sounds generic and overblown, which I think is crazy. "Santiago" seems to be a good song, the best on the album, but it's freaking non-existent online.

Only the first 2 songs were on Spotify AU, had to look the rest up on YouTube. Managed to find most of it but a few were live tracks and other people covering the songs etc. This.... was p cool. Albums like this are the reason I signed up for this project - trying to hear new things, not just 6000 Beatles albums that have already been played to death. But this was fresh, a real mix of styles done well. It had all the standard parts of a big funk band but with a bit more here and there - occasional rapping, flamenco, middle eastern sounding melodies, I heard a rock guitar solo at one point, etc. I really liked the funky and experimental stuff, not so much the rap. 3/5.

Kind of a combination of Los Lobos and Gogol Bordellol.

Couldn't listen to in UK.

Cool hybrid of latin rock type music and rap. I liked "Love And Hope", "(Who Discovered) America?", and "Saturday Night". Just didn't like them well enough to overcome some of the songs I really didn't like.

Zomerse muziek, wel een oké album. echter moeilijk te vinden op streamingdiensten, dus heb niet alle nummers gehoord

Ok Latin based album

Yllätti positiivisesti kun rullasin youtubesta levyn läpi. Mukavat soundit ja vaikeasta päivästä huolimatta jäi hyvä fiilis.

This was a good listen. "Who Discovered America" was a really good track. A little Latin, a little hip hop. Reminded me of Santana.

Interesting, but... that's about it.

Could only listen to one song as that was all that was available on Spotify. But it wasn’t bad.

3/5 interesting but no

Infectious :)

I liked the collision of styles. Unfortunately Spotify didn't. It would only play the opening track for me.

First Listen. Interesting sound. Funk, jazz, Latin, rock, hip hop, world fusion all in one album. I mostly liked it. Standouts: Saturday Night 3/5

Not on Spotify so listening cobbled together from youtube and live albums. The good tracks are really good, with predictably the bass and percussion the standout elements. I can leave the 90s/early 00s staple of 'oh third verse time for a rap' element.

Not on Spotify so a bit annoying to listen to so just clicked through the tracks quickly. Probably deserves another more thorough listen at some point.

Good backyard party vibes

The tracks on this album are like a box of chocolates. I didn't like half of them.

something for everyone, nothing for everybody

The name of the band was familiar, but none of the tracks stood out as something I've heard before. It's hard to get me excited about hip-hop, but the variety of music genres was interesting and enjoyable. I liked the arabic influences in a couple of tracks, and even the ska-ish track "Déjame en Paz". "Ya Viene el Sol" was another favorite track. Overall the album was good, but there were some slow spots. This album has room to grow on me.

Disc de barreja de sons del món amb hip hop, molt ben entramat i amb una execució molt pro. Recorda els primers anys de segle, la ressaca del 11S i la intencionalitat que hi havia aleshores d'agermanar pobles i cultures

Quite groovy

Latino-funk-rock-hiphop fusion album? It's pretty damn neat honestly.

Liked it!

Reminded me of Eurovision way too often.

I struggled to find a proper version of this, and what I did find did not move me 😐

2/5. This album was not good, but it was at least bad in an interesting way so I was never bored during my listen-through. It tries to throw so much at the wall like rap on tracks like “Saturday Night”, smoother ballads like the closer “Cuando Canto” or some straight Latin on “Santiago” but they really don’t do any of these styles particularly well and it never adds up into a cohesive album. There’s a lot of lyrics that allude to this idea of a political revolution but the music is so edgeless that it doesn’t feel revolutionary. I thought the opener “Believe” had a pretty solid groove at least. Not good, but it was at least an interesting listening experience.

I was only able to listen to one track.

Fun instrumentals just not for me

Album : 27/1089 Songs known going in : 0/10 Cover Art : Nothing too interesting grainy as shit Favourite song : Rating : Notes : well this albums just not available on spotify anymore which is a fun start This was so difficult to try and find and listen to. Some of it does have a bit of a grove to it but I don't know whether its the sheer effort i've had to put into listening but it feels underwhelming

Fijn dat deze mannen vrij activistisch zijn, maar de muziek is in alle eerlijkheid matig en saai. Misschien dat het beter is als je de teksten snapt, maar sorry daar heb ik geen tijd voor

Don’t care for most of it but Cuando Canto is lovely

YouTube again FFS Anyway not entirely sure how a Darius (early 00s UK reference) sounding English bloke made it into this record but half way through track one there he was white boy rapping! Not my cup of tea and didn’t sound authentic at all. Anyway by the time we got to the last 3 tracks it finally felt like I imagined the album should have felt like right through. Those last 3 tracks sounding authentic and bloody good fun! Best track of those 3 been the very fun sounding ‘Dejame en Paz’ Worst track- ‘believe’ I couldn’t believe the rapper coming in half way through! Poor first half, good ending- middle Of the road 5/10

idk

4/10 - A bit too much Ricky Martin vibes which isn't inherently bad but seems a bit try hard

Latin hip hop for people who don’t really like that type of music, or music on the whole. Bland and sterile.

This was a fun listen just because it’s different from what I would usually listen to. I remember the track Saturday Night from an old Madden soundtrack!

Could have been cool but the production is off. I don’t like the raps inserted in it.

I enjoy some of the instrumental stuff but not a big fan of the vocals/rapping. True 2.5 but found myself quite underwhelmed

I get why this is on here, I appreciate the quality, but I will probably never listen to this album again

From what little of this album that is available to listen to, I've concluded this is the overnight oats of albums. Everything separately is enjoyable, and the promise of a better final product is exciting, but then you wake up the next day, and you're sort of gagging it down, while trying to convince yourself it was worth the effort and ingredients.

Believe - 2.5/5 Love and Hope - 3/5 Street Signs - 3/5 (Who Discovered) America? - 2.5/5 Who's to Blame - 2/5 Te Estoy Buscando - 2.5/5 Saturday Night - 3/5 Dejame En Pez - 2/5 Santiago - 3/5 Ya Viene El Sol - 2.5/5 Dona Isabelle - 2.5/5 Nadie Te Tira - 3/5 Cuando Canto - 2.5/5 I like how they are able to blend the Latin genre with other genres to create some sort of fun fusion album. However there really isn't enough meat on the bones of this thing for me to fully appreciate it. This definitely sounds like they would be playing at some outdoor venue and not thinking twice about who or what is playing. Overall: 2/5 Favorites: Love and Hope

i don't know man... я понимаю чем пытается быть этот альбом и у него это получается. Проблема в том, что мне это совершенно неинтересно, сорян. Смесь латиноамериканской музыки и хипхопа - это почти гарантированный скип от меня. Buena Vista Social Club - круто. Это - нет.

I wasn't in the best of moods when I chucked this on and I can safely say it put me in an even worse mood. All the tracks here blended into an upbeat snore fest with an occasional rap verse that had me wanting to turn it off. I'm refraining from giving this a one simply because I know my mood is informing my feelings towards this somewhat but I'm confident in my judgement of this being much closer to bad than good.

Rap rock, Chicano rock, hip hop, Latin rock.

i just can’t stand when an album isn’t on streaming from this list because it’s so hard to listen to it, this was alright but i just wouldn’t listen to it again

i can appreciate this album for what it is—the handful of cultural influences were interesting in theory, and i’m sure the album recording process was fun— but i wasn’t moved. it felt messy, though more uniform in the second half. i did like two songs, but all together the album was not my cup of tea.

No está completo el álbum en Spotify. De todas maneras no es para mí.

unfortunate only 2 songs are available on spotify, do not think it wouldve been my thing though

Yet another unfortunate example where you might think blending disparate sounds and cultural backgrounds (hip hop x latin + middle eastern sounds!) But it just sounds really solidly early 2000s when the Latin revival was its height - like slightly edgier Santana + Rob Thomas duets. 'Street Signs' was okay but everything else was eminently skippable.

This was a good album. It was a bit eclectic with the funk and rock en español and hip hop. There were some great moments good lyrics. I think it deserves to be on this list I think it’s hard to define it because there were multiple styles. One thing I didn’t care is Charlie 2na. His voice is okay but not my favorite. I guess it worked on the couple of songs. I’m glad I heard it but wouldn’t listen again.

It's ok - the first album ("Ozomatli") is better though.

While I wanted to like this, it really just sounds like dated pop rock latin fusion. Way too catchy, sounds like Smooth by Santana/Rob Thomas but throw some rap that is safe for the masses. No gracias. 2.4/5 -> 2/5

"Street Signs" by Ozomatli is good album by the band. This album has latin hip-hop, funk, samba influence. This album has some energy on it . Most of the lyrics deals with immigration rights and social justice. My standout tracks are, "Love and Hope", "Street Signs" and "Nadie Te Tira". But this album has a lot of songs I don't prefer "Who's to Blame", "Ye Viene el Sol" ,"Dona Isabelle" and more. I don't know why but I couldn't connect to this album. The problem is constant genre switching between tracks. I feel like every song take sharp turn into completely different that ends up killing the momentum. I'm not against genre switching in an album but I couldn't connect on this album. Overall decent album by Ozomatli.

Apparently, people are blending music genres together with little to no regard.

I hated this

I tried to listen to as much of it that's available, but what I heard sounded like Nandos or Bella pasta background music. If you want a dose of this sort of music with wit, intelligence and in parts infectious energy, get Kirsty Macoll's Tropical Brainstorm. In fact, that's what I ended up listening to, there's an album that should be on the list, but I guess isn't. This is meh.

Not sure what makes this one of the 1001 albums

They almost had me with the first couple songs. This group has good instincts when it comes to production and writing catchy 90s-style pop hooks. But man they really don't write interesting lyrics or put together any sort of unique musical ideas. To me this is just a mish mash of musical styles that's worse than the sum of its parts. The rap verses were the most interesting to me. It was also fun to practice my Spanish.

i’m probably unfairly rating this because the only place i could find this was youtube and i dnfed it after three tracks because i did not enjoy it enough to listen to adds before every track

Yeah, this one didn't really do it for me. Just reminded me of the Latin influenced music that was prevent in the late 90s early 2000s. Every so often a groove hit right, and I usually enjoy a Latin flavoured guitar solo and there was at least one in here that was good, but the noisy trumpets, the rapping, the oi shouts. It's just not for me. Ah well.

Not into this

Never listened. Expectations: None - Verdict: Not For Me - The opener has a nice enough groove but I find it somewhat generic. Most of the tracks seem to fit that description. There's nothing to dislike really apart from a few tracks where the vocals just aren't my cup of tea. There just isn't much to particularly like either. Who's To Blame is an exception as the sound changes significantly. It's probably my favourite as I like the Charli 2na feature a lot. Saturday Night is one of the best tracks as well, I definitely prefer these guys in hip hop mode rather than the smooth latin rock.

This is #day702 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… somehow those Latin vibes throw me straight into a time machine headed for early '00s radio. That's about all I got out of it. Otherwise, I don't think this is an album you have to hear before you die. Also, the fact that it isn't available on Spotify is rather annoying. Let it be a 2 out of 5. Looking forward to #day703.

The concept is interesting; I just don't hear anything artistic in the execution. It sounds like competent musicians and producers carefully carrying out a plan by crafting and then stacking cliches. The fact that the cliches come from disparate cultural sources is, again, interesting. And maybe it works as pop music. But I prefer to hear creative musicians with depth of vision lost in the emotions of their music That is always, ultimately, what makes music great. I don't hear it here.

Overall this is rather uninteresting. I like the idea of an American rock/pop band with a Latin infusion, but the execution was bland. Even Chali 2na couldn't save this.

Latin, funk, and hip-hop sounds come together in this here album. There’s moments that it can be fun, but overall it was forgettable and not that gripping. There’s moments wasn’t anything particularly wrong or bad, it just didn’t have that special something that excites me.

didnt enjoy

Bizarre that this is in here (knowing nothing about the band). It's like the most westernized version of Latin music that they possibly could have tossed in here. It's produced well but it doesn't do anything for me for the most part.

Interesting in theory, dull in practice. It's nice that they're trying to fuse different genres with some latin styles, but they do it in a very safe and uninteresting way. Not many memorable songs on here, the album is too long and really starts to blend together after a while.

World, Dance, 2004 -> 2-3

I've heard of Ozomatli (and some of their work), but they never really made it to my playlist. Now, listening to this one as part of the project, I see all the right names but this just doesn't click, something's missing. Can't say they're bad either, though, but would prefer Quantic or Orishas.

A bland buffet of styles that could t coalesce into anything worth my attention.

hm das isch so genre mische type musig hä. so mir sind weltbürger und so. aber sie sind anschienend mega politisch aktiv. isch eig no fun spanisch englisch mische macheds guet. rap und so ja latinos ja okay. check nonig gaaanz was sie mached. Ich hasses es bitzli. Saturday night isch zum teil uuuhuere groovy aber au chli cringe kei ahnig mann. Ich fänds cooler wär irgendwie es album vo Manà oder so uf dere liste als de komisch mix vo sache wo nöd soooo cool isch. aso s isch zum teil groovy und vermischt genres aber s fühlt sich halt au mega wie es vermische vo genres ah und nöd es neus ganzes. de letst song isch etz no cute mit de arpeggios. nice.

So for reference, at this album I skipped almost an entire month of the challenge. I wouldn’t necessarily put the blame solely on them but it surely didn’t help. Couldn’t find the album anywhere in full, sorta wannabe genre-bending making it kitsch and so bland for me it made me go in hibernation mode.

Linkin Park auf Wish bestellt

Nicht meins

A weird mix of styles that sometimes works but mostly doesn't.

I must say this album is very uninteresting, so formulaic and, at times, even overwhelming. I thought I would enjoy it a bit, at least. But, to be honest, I've found it very boring. Merging different genres doesn't mean it's interesting or something brilliant. This album is very commercial in this sense, but not good at all. It just takes elements of latin music, Indian music, some hip-hop influences and a little bit of jazz and makes of it a mixture of very sterile music. It's not in any sense an interesting approach to those kinds of music but rather a very popish intent to take it to a radio-friendly audience. So, I can't find it neither thrilling or exciting nor interesting. It's just a bland collection of insipid songs.

Not for me

⭐⭐ Latino blandat med hip hop samt andra influenser. Inte dåligt men inte heller något jag blev exalterad över. Svårt att ge en rättvis bedömning då bara två spår fanns på Spotify och behövde lyssna på Youtube. Där fanns inte heller det riktiga albumet utan ihopsatt med blandade spår från bl.a livespelningar. Det blir en 2a. Bäst är Saturday night.

Wasn't as bad as I was expecting, fun sound. Solid 2.5.

The first song has a neat eastern feel to it. The rest of the album is well done but too much fusion for me & I simply put didn't much enjoy it. Not something I would ever play again except for the first song.

Almost a 2.5 the only Spanish language tracks were great, when it got into the hip hop realm I found it to be disingenuous and preachy

If you liked this in 2004, we definitely weren’t friends.

Meh

On paper this should be good, but it just felt boring and dragged out

Saturday Night is definitely the stand out track on this album. That song could be used in games and movie trailers. The rest of the album sounds like a random Latin music station in GTA.

2 şarkı hariç kalanı trde yasaklı ya da kendileri kaldırmış bilmiyorum. "love and hope" şarkısını beğendim 4/10

It was decent to start and then fell apart. A good reminder anyone can make bad music

First one not on Spotify. I knew of these guys from their kids album (There's A Moose On The Loose!). It worked better in that context. This sounds like someone calculated all the elements of popular artists in the mid 90s and tried to blend them together. It has moments, but overall doesn't really gel.

Not my favorite but can see how some people would like it. They had an odd mix of Mexican and Indian sounds which you don't hear much. Sounded old but is also much newer than anything classic (2004). One song sounded like Eminem with Sublime doing Bollywood so it was all over the place.

I appreciate the obvious talent within the group, and I liked the MC's voice and flow (kind of reminded me of Chali 2na), but ultimately I didn't care for these songs and won't listen to this again. I get why people like them, though.

They were the "house band" for Gabriel Iglesias' stand up tour in the 2010s. Need I say more?

Not particularly notable but the two Eddie Palmieri tracks near the end...great stuff. Mostly palatable which is sort of its issue, really nothing interesting to listen to hear until Palmieri shows up.

Fine album in its time - wild mixture of latin - rap - hip hop. not to hear before I die

Somehow I liked this album but none of the songs were save worthy for me which is strange. I loved the multicultural aspect of the album, that’s always way up my alley, but there was something missing for me. Also I guess I just find the main singer’s voice annoying.

This is fine I guess. The rapping is cool but I’d never listen to this again

La verdad es que me ha resultado muy complicado escuchar este álbum, ya que no está en mas plataformas que en YouTube. Hecha la escucha, esa mezcla de ritmos latinos, funk y rap no me ha llamado mucho la atención. Cantado en inglés y en un español cacofónico, se me antoja una mezcla algo incoherente, con melodías simples y sin espacio para la sorpresa. No conocía a la banda, y no siento que me perdiera nada.

Alleen de eerste 2 tracks staan op Spotify. En aangezien ik wat plaatjes in te halen heb doe ik het daar gewoon mee. Het is wel funky en typisch de zeroes om zo'n 'straatplaat' te maken. En cool dat in Love and Hope een speech van Obama zit. Verder niet echt iets om verder in te duiken. Zeker omdat Spotify mij niet meer kan voorschotelen. 6/10

Eh, I didn't get most of it.

Weird mix of genres. Somewhat interesting but not that impressed from a group I never heard of.

Not my thing

It's a fun album, fusion of latin jazz, rock and hip-hop. Be fun in the club or to dance too, just not my type of thing for playing at the house. It is high energy, and the music is very interesting. Nadie Te Tira is a standout track, a whole album of that would have been a 5 star review. The album has plenty of variety in the songs to remain engaged. If I was a DJ this would be a must have album, since I am not I will just add some songs to my streaming playlist

I might be harsher here purely because the album wasn’t on Spotify and it was a struggle to find each song and listen to in order. This was a fun album, but in my opinion a very basic way of combining almost stereotypical rhythms of Latin America amongst other cultures. The music is fun and perhaps I need to look into the lyrics more

I remember listening to Ozomatli years ago, saw them at a festival. Not familiar with this album, maybe just wasn’t in the mood, not as good as I remember ( or maybe this album isn’t as good as the one I have heard before)

A mix of Latin, funk, hip-hop and more; it’s all very competently played but somehow doesn’t coalesce into something particularly interesting to listen to, for me anyway. The saving grace is that it’s played with a sense of fun and an infectious energy. Would maybe make for good background music at a party.

Not ideal listening circumstances, a partial album sandwiched between YouTube ads, so it may not be the fairest view. We also seem to have hit the fusion part of the list, and this has a /lot/ going on, from rock and hip hop to salsa and Sufi music. I guess my trouble is that the fusion takes it all towards a lowest common denominator sludge, or at least the safety of middle ground. That's harsh, and it's more interesting than that, particularly given so much of this list, but equally I'm not going to come back to it.

2.3 2x youtube

This reminds me of being like 19 and meeting a cute boy who I thought looked super cool but then we hung out and his favorite band was something like this. This may or may not have happened; it certainly feels real.

Some songs felt bland. Mostly felt like a party album, lacking substance.

Ricky Martin raps!?!? Nah This sounded like it would be interesting, but actually listening proved otherwise. Without the rap bits, this just sounds like everyday mediocre Latin pop. There were some flairs and riffs sprinkled throughout that did add some enjoyment, but not enough. For Ex: the guitar in the middle of "(Who Discovered) America?" or the intro to "Who's To Blame" Too much of this sounds like it would be playing at my local Mexican restaurant. Background music. No idea why this would make the list. It's a 2

Fun album! I used to play a lot of these tracks on WYCE. The rapping on here is very “2000’s” at times. But it isn’t too bad. Instrumentally, the band is on fire from track to track

Couldn't listen to the whole thing unfortunately, some songs didn't really do much for me but enjoyed the closer

*shrug*

A collection of various Latin styles. It was nice that it wasn't all dancehall, but still not very interesting to me.

Annoying and irritating Best Song: Saturday Night Rating: 3/10 Stars: 3/5
