One of my top 10 CDs of all time June 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I discovered Michael Franti & Spearhead through my sister, as he gets no radio airplay in my area. I instantly fell in love with his music, the meaningful lyrics and open call for change combined with very enjoyable music. Franti has the ability to absolutely rock and gets you up and moving (Everybody Ona Move and Hey Now Now) but there are also the songs that you can sit and enjoy quietly and really feel the message he is sending, such as Is Love Enough and One Step Closer to You. My absolute favorites on this album are Yell Fire and East to the West, currently, though there is not a single less than loved track on this album. This band also mixes so many genres of music that they are not easily classified and therefore have more appeal across the board than most bands are able to acheive. I only wish he got some radio play, but I think he may be too political for the watered down pop music that is played on most stations. You might get too much static for playing a song thats lyrics include "God is too big for just one religion" or "Like Peter Tosh said, Legalize it!" Maybe someday . . . In the meantime, buy this album, listen to it LOUD and introduce your friends to the message he is sending.

This is a great CD. We are new listeners to Franti, but definitely big fans already. Relaxing, reggae like, but the lyrics really tell stories and truths about our world today.
YELLFIRE! by Miachael Franti January 14, 2008
This is a very intelligent and needed album of moving songs. The US would do well to elect someone with the understanding and vision of this prophet to a leadership position. Michael Franti has groomed a very tight group to support his music. You will dance and cry, in turns. Thought provoking.
Yell Fire December 28, 2007
Finally, some really great protest music! There is so much wrong, and I was wondering when the music would catch up.
Fantastic! December 28, 2007
The man is a prophet! I pray for his safety in this crazy world! Best album since Steve Earle's "The Revolution Starts...Now".
