Matisyahu music

Light

It was kind of bizarre, don't you think? It wasn't what I was used to. I liked Live at Stubb's by far the best and then Youth had about 4 or 5 good songs on it, but this is just very strange and nothing like what I am used to when it comes to Matisyahu. I wish he would just do live albums because that is where you really hear his passion and voice. All these overproduced studio records that are out today kind of take away from the singer and give power to all these crazy things happening in the background.

Titles:
    1. Smash Lies
    2. We Will Walk
    3. One Day
    4. Escape
    5. So Hi So Lo
    6. I Will Be Light
    7. For You
    8. On Nature
    9. Motivate
    10. Struggla
    11. Darkness into Light
    12. Thunder
    13. Silence

Youth

This album has a bundle of good tracks, but not all of them are worth listening to in my opinion. It is probably second-best to Live at Stubb's. My favorite tracks are Youth, Time of Your Song, and Jerusalem. King Without a Crown is pretty much the same song as on his previous album, which is good as well. It's interesting, but it seems a bit overproduced to me. I just live raw, live music I guess. I don't like this studio-produced, overbearing music. It just lacks soul for the most part. It's all enhanced and overdone.

Titles:
    1. Fire Of Heaven / Altar Of Earth
    2. Youth
    3. Time Of Your Song
    4. Dispatch The Troops
    5. Indestructible
    6. What I'm Fighting For
    7. Jerusalem
    8. WP
    9. Shalom/Saalam
    10. Late Night in Zion
    11. Unique Is My Dove
    12. Ancient Lullaby
    13. King Without A Crown

Live At Stubbs

I'm not horribly impressed. But I'm not a huge Reggae fan either. It's a live albulm also, which i've never been a fan of. Worth looking into if you're looking for something a little different. Definately Christ-centered lyrics

Titles:
    1. Sea to Sea
    2. Chop 'Em Down
    3. Warrior
    4. Lord Raise Me Up
    5. King Without a Crown
    6. Aish Tamid
    7. Beat Box
    8. Fire and Heights
    9. Exaltation
    10. Refuge
    11. Heights
    12. Close My Eyes
