Songs like "Dispatch My Troops" and the surprise hit "King Without a Crown" show he also has a head for modern rock underneath that big black hat. P.O.D.'s fans might want to consider conversion.

Yiddish lyrics, yarmulke and Sabbath-respecting work ethic aside, Matisyahu - the Hasidic beat-boxer with a penchant for grammatically suspect jam-band reggae - is not a particularly groundbreaking musician.

"Youth" is solid from start to finish, and it's diverse enough to appeal to several different groups of music fans.

His music, however, isn't all that special. Mixing high school retreat Rasta spitting, Yiddish verse, and occasionally legit patois over a synthesized version of trad reggae, he's on that old search for enlightenment and devotion but his struggle reeks of bored rich kid.

"Youth" is a good song that can get you up and dancing and is also a little about growing up and making your own decisions. |

Excuse my english, but i talk spanish.
It's a good cd, with 5 tracks so good, with a very good mix of styles and positive spiritualy message. |

It's cool and all that he is an aesthetic Jew and all but it comes down to his actual music which is the best music I've heard in a long time. He is about as good as Bob Marley |

Brilliant Album, although these guys are even better live than in the studio. Good example is King without a crown, which is even better on the Stubbs album.
What a great group, great sound etc. Love it |
