5.0 out of 5 stars One of the only true philisophical albums in existence, October 14, 2003

This review is from: Forest for the Trees (Audio CD)

Like many people I had heard the catchy `Dream' single when it got a lot of play on MTV, back in 97. But unlike most, I have been privileged to hear all of his other wonderful and mind expanding songs on the album. This album has been one of my true loves throughout all of my musical experiences, and I can safely say it always will be. As stated above, this is one of the only true philosophical albums I have ever come across. The theories and ideas expressed throughout the entire CD will not only challenge you to focus on the intricate melding between the lyrics and the amazing sampling, but also to think of greater possibilities about life and the universe as a whole. This album did not receive the recognition it truly deserves, but then again, I think it works on a higher level then what most of us are used to.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's a shame, November 24, 2002

I was really surprised to see the negative reviews of this album. Sure not all the songs are not as accessible as Dream might be, but overall I really enjoy listening to the creative ramblings that this album goes through. As for people not liking the lyrics it's sad to see so many people judge them so harshly. Radiohead and Nirvana and even the Doors have lyrics that don't make "sense", but they're still cool to listen to. It's a shame that more people don't have a more open mind for these kinds of things. It's a great album if you're into fun experimental music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly cool and complex music, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Forest for the Trees (Audio CD)

I picked up this CD because I loved "Dream" and my local DJ was getting tired of my constant pestering for him to play it. I was greatly impressed. Every song on this CD is incredibly complex, with samples, processed vocals, and neato instruments like sitar and bagpipes weaving in and out. Perhaps the greatest is the sample of a "Speak and Spell" on "Infinite Cow." Every time I listen to this album--and it begs you to listen closely--I hear something new spliced in there. This album is probably not for the average modern-rock fan, but is a welcome sign that heavily electronicized music can really be creative and interesting.
