| 3.5 great | JohnXDoesn't | December 27th 06 |
Perhaps his most seductive release to date, Matisyahu returns at years end to lay upon us "No Place To Be", a seven song EP and 90 minute live DVD in one package. An oddball to some and small genius to others, this record continues the deep jam, reggae influenced dancehall stylings that is this groups/artists specialty. From the funky, socially/politically charged opener Jerusalem (Come Out Of Darkness), spiritual yearning of the reggae/pop groove Warrior, and lean, upbeat, high energy dancehall remix of the previously released "Youth", the CD portion of the package continues to show this is one Hasidic Jew who knows his beats and is far from the fluke and gimmick some have accused him of being in years past. The DVD includes live footage from a Tele Aviv show before an adoring crowd as well as interviews and scenes from the city itself. Taken together this two disc set gives a strong overview of the man, the artist, and the band, and serves as a great introduction for the curious and interested, or another fine taste of this artist for the already converted.

The two mixes and the dub version are dope tracks, but the beginning shows songs (that were great in previous albums) that, in my opinion, has turned spiritless because of the willingness to make them sound more pop.

I don't really see the point of the remixes; i just see those as bonuses. The studio version of Chop em Down and Warrior are Great! so is the new version of Jerusalem! And, of course, the Message in a Bottle cover.
