Just checking to see who picked up Meshell's latest...I copped it today and I love every minute of it. One of the most sensual and spiritual discs I've heard in a long while. This album is really getting me psyched for her concert here in Atlanta on Oct. 30th. It's unfortunate that she doesn't get any airplay because she brings it on every release. Meshell is a musical genius that has been flying below the radar far too long.

So true. This album is tight as hell. I love it too.

I plan on getting it - I hit the wrecka stow for the new Distillers album today, and just as I was handed my receipt and was walking out the door, I saw a big ol' stack of Me'Shell albums behind the counter, ready to hit the shelves. DAG!!!

I picked it up today, although I haven't played it yet, but sensuality and spirituality is just second nature for Meshell.

And yeah, I've been telling everybody within shouting distance about Meshell since her debut album a DECADE ago.

Feliz Cumpleaños, Plantation Lullabies. The best album of the '90s, to me.

If that's your boyfriend he wasn't last night. Do I need to say more?

I really liked it on the first listen. I imagine I will like it more with repeated listens. The first track to me is the best.

see me co-signing?

I was fortunate enough to attend the "Bitter" release party at the Roxy the day prior to the release of the album...


Last night I got the chance to see her play at Filmore...And damn this disc is working me!! Only got the chance to listen to it while at work...but, im on the verge of sayings its on par with "Bitter"...

ps..ive never been a great fan of Plantation...some great tracks but it falls as a whole (for me)..but then im not a big funk fan...i love my meshell with a lil soul...

Nice new feel for her...

Much of the same funk and soul, but more of a reggae/rock edge and definitely a marked stream-of-consciousness feel. Her compositions are so fluid now... almost as if she ditched paper and pencil for the spontaneity of intuitive jam sessions.

Lyrically, it's apparent that she's at the most peaceful we've heard her. She's definitely found love -- of life; and that inspiration, instead of scorn this time out, is working wonders in her art.

That explains a lot.

the enhanced features provide three bonus tracks recorded at the Oct.11th show available for download.

Got it She hasn't disappointed me yet so I'm banking on loving it. Only made it through track 2 so far (Love Song #1 is HOT!)

My favorites are "Come Smoke My Herb" and "Good Intentions."

"I'm not a big funk fan"


then what the hell are you doing on this site?
