| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | One thing you know you'll get from Franti and Spearhead is a certain kind of crystal clarity--on the production, musicianship, and, of course, in the righteous political message. Released two years after Franti traveled by himself to war-ravaged Baghdad, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, each of these songs deals with the human cost of war poignantly and pointedly. The lyrics may seem simplistic when removed from the songs--"Those who start wars never fight them/And those who fight wars never like them" and "The F15 is a homicide bomber"--but very few artists have the honesty and balls that Franti does. Bless him for that. Spearhead might lose credibility with some by tying Peter Tosh's chant to "legalize it" to their call for revolution, but those folks are not in the target demographic, anyway. Those who are will thoroughly dig this. From the jam band accents of "Time to Go Home" to the reggae of "Light Up Ya Lighter" to the U2-ish ballad "I Know I'm Not Alone," it's easily Franti's best album yet. --Mike McGonigal | |

| An enjoyable eclectic musical journey | |
| | This is one of Franti/Spearheads best discs, with a great mixture of socially conscious rap/reggae/rock/pop...
It depends on whether you enjoy this type of eclectic blend of musical influences with his "in-your-face" (though somewhat convential) social consciousness-raising...
Well done!
| | Thank-you Michael Franti! | |
| | He's the one I've been searching for - uplifting music with a message for all. This album has a real range of danceable funky melodies and heart renching ballads - lovely!
| | | Michael Franti's Yell Fire! is an absolutely great album! The music is great - a sort of cross between rock, folk, reggae... The lyrics are heartfelt and contain an important message for those who care about humanity. Consider this the soundtrack to Franti's DVD documentary "I Know I'm Not Alone". Buy them both now! Franti and his message both deserve wider recognition.
