hope as music
i’ve never posted an online review in my life but believe strongly this is an amazing album for its clear intent to counter cynicism and its power to remind us of the most…
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 Non-Stop Party
This disc should have been on every “best of” list for 2008. There is not a single throw away cut on the album, it’s great from start to finish - upbeat, infectious, beat-filled…
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.

Spearhead
Awesome cd! More regge influenced than his other work…prob b/c album was recorded in Jamacia!
Been listening to music ever since Jimmy Hendrix was alive and this guy is one of the best singer songwriters I have heard. The message in his music is very powerful! My first CD was Yell Fire, after that I bought everything he has put out - truely a very gifted artist that appeals to all ages (I’m pushing 60).

I thought it couldn’t get any better after Yell Fire…
…but it did! This album is a Must Have. The perfect introduction to Michael Franti for those not already on board the gorgeous, soul-stirring, love, social justice, and direct…

Repeat listening guaranteed
Michael Franti has been captivatingly cerebral since his stint with the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.

Too Much Hipe
This album was given a lot of hipe when released. Franti is on the rise as a force in the music industry, but All Rebel Rockers fell short of it’s expectations.

great album
This album is not as good as their previous album, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t any good. If you liked the last album you will like this one.
