The last time we heard from Yusuf (formerly known as Cat Stevens), he was denied entry into the United States because president Bush found out that he is a terrorist. Well now that we have a terrorist president, it seems Yusuf's music has been allowed back into these Unites States, which I am cool with, I guess.
Normally one would expect Al Queida music to be angrier and have more, like, arab instruments, but this is some hippie folk music shit, which is weird.
The songs are pretty well written for a guy who spent the last 30 years riding camels through the desert and plotting 9/11. "Thinking 'Bout You" is a nice little folky pop song in the vein of some of his older hits as Cat Stevens. One would think it is just a love song, but if you look at the lyrics closer you can tell it is about the pagan hundu god Mohammad.
There are some more hippie songs about how we should all love each other and how Muslim is a pretty cool guy and shit. Overall it is a pretty nice album.
Score:
10/10
