Altsounds - Saul Williams - The Invevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust

I must begin this review by saying Thank You Saul by providing us the fans such an amazing work. I and many others may have been musically challenged by your work, but this album has opened avenues for me to really dissect and understand your work. The collaboration between Saul and Trent Reznor should have been done a long time ago and truly both parties know what this music scene lacks, and that is true creativity. It almost seems that many musicians these days are afraid to try something different in fear that it won't sell or make them enough money. Which brings me to how this album is being sold and promoted, it is a brilliant concept by allowing people to either pay to download high quality files, or download the material in lo-fi for free if they want to see what its all about.

I strongly encourage people to support this album and for the sake of the artist pay the $5.00 for the higher quality download. It's a chance to support a brave concept, and how often do you have a chance to purchase a new cd for that price?.

This album has a mix of many styles of music and should be a treat for the musically eclectic fan and for those who will truly understand the message behind Saul's lyrics and message. One of the many highlights of this album is Saul's cover of U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday which is a timely song for Saul to cover. I would highly recommend this album as well as all of Saul's other work as being worth a listen to. Be your own judge and don't allow others to judge for you.
