EAN: 0829299090611 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Fader Label Manufacturer: Fader Label Publisher: Fader Label Release Date: July 08, 2008 Studio: Fader Label Editorial Review: Album Description: Saul Williams with his album, Inevitable Rise & Liberation of Niggy Tardust! The CD contains five exclusive bonus tracks including 'List Of Demands', featured in the massive Nike 'My Better' TV campaign. Also features a cover of U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.' Album produced by Trent Reznor/NIN. First establishing himself as an influential poet, and then as an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams then went on to establish himself as an MC. His approach to MCing, though, wasn't exactly in line with the traditional school of Hip-Hop. His rhymes weren't really rhymes but rather his poetry delivered in a frenzied spoken word manner that was more rhythmic than alliterate. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A revelation(I'm French, please excuse the limitedness of my skills...) I'd never heard of Saul Williams before this record. I wasn't really much into hip-hop, anyway. Well, on the other hand, I'm a NIN fan, so... Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Reznor, I heard of the digital release of 'The Rise & Liberation of Niggy Tardust!'. I was quite thrilled at first at what could be seen as an Internet-scale experiment, with the 'pay and support an artist/don't pay but please spread the word' choice, ... Read More Rating: - A great Saul Williams entryIf you like Saul Williams already, you'll like this album. If you like Trent Reznor produced albums, you'll like this album. If you like heavy beats and political messages about gov't and race, you'll like this album. Rating: - Great For Collectors And Fans, But...I buy the albums that I love on vinyl because I'm crazy about hot items with vintage looks. I'm a fan of Saul Williams and this album and own it BECAUSE I love the album so much. However, unless you LOVE this album like I do, I don't suggest buying this. The thing with current releases on LP format is unless you own a record player and USE IT and LISTEN TO THEM, they really aren't worth the $20-30. My verdict: If you LOVE the album, buy it on LP. If you're into only a couple songs from ... Read More Rating:  - Niggy... Uh, I mean, Curtis rocks!I have to thank Nike. Not for a pair of shoes but because I may never have heard of Saul Williams without Nike's use of "List of Demands" in their "My Better" advertising campaign. That song, included here and on his self-titled album, instantly captivated me and revealed I was missing something special. Saul Williams is special. He has a remarkable talent for wordplay that can suck you in and not let go. Thankfully, he is intelligent and socially aware enough to use that talent to ... Read More Rating: - Amazing sound.....amazing albumFirst off, to all the nay sayers about this having an "Industrial" sound, get off your high horse. Saul picked up on this sound on his own, therefore its his style that HE chooses. This album is amazing from start to finish. When it first hit the internet last year, i couldnt stop playing it. I still to this day hold his album in high reguard. To yourself a favor and listen to it for yourself.....pay no attention to this review or any of the others on here. Once you've done that, come back and write ... Read More |
