Music reviews of Live at Stubb's Vol.II
Music Review: Great Ablum, As Good if Not Better Than the First
Rating: 5 Stars
I've been listening to this album for 3 weeks, and it has totally become a staple in my music diet. This album may have been a little annoying at first, but now I truly feel what he feels. Sure, the songs are longer. But I find most of them to still be entertaining all the way through. The only track I really have any problem with is the first one, with the children talking at the beginning, and after that, especially at around 5 minutes, Kodesh takes off into Got No Water, a song I had never heard before (I don't own Shake Off the Dust...Arise). I'll give an in-depth analysis of the album below:
Kodesh: Like I said, slow start, but great ending, Got No Water is amazing.
Time of Your Song: Great song, more rock version of it. I liked it, but I still think I like the original better.
Mist Rising: One of my favorites. Has a great beat and also has that cool robotic music at the end, very transformative.
Darkness Into Light: Crickety cool music and a great falsetto followed by a very passionate and energetic rendition of one of my favorite songs on Light.
Youth: Probably my favorite track on the CD, mostly because after Youth, he breaks into Aish Tamid and does the second half of that song as rap, and it has an amazing beat.
I Will Be Light: Great song, better on this album than on Light, has some great moments where he is just wailing or whatever it is he does.
Two Child One Drop: Amazing song with some guy doing some Jewish noises in between verses. Very entertaining song with amazing lyrics and music. He even goes into other songs, such as Dispatch the Troops, and one from the old live album (something about a channel of sound).
Open the Gates: Great, new song, although a little drawn out at the end, but the first 5 or so minutes of it are golden, and have a great reggae beat.
One Day: Great song, great music, a little much on the intermission, with music leading up to the final verse, but still a very powerful song.
Motivate: Great, great performance, and has really cool sound effects and he's on his game here.
Bonus Track: King Without a Crown: I ordered this on MatisyahuWorld.com and got this bonus track and it is good, with better musical stuff in the background, but he kind of cuts his singing short, and doesn't do that final verse he did in the original live album and on Youth, but it's still good. He thanks the Dub Trio and then says goodbye.
Overall, amazing album, but there were some lulls in activity, but he is more of a jam band now I hear, so I guess this fits him better. Sure, it's less reggae, and more rockish, but it's still very, very good and he has such stage presence and such a powerful voice that any Matisyahu fan will not be disappointed. Give it a few listens and you'll be hooked.

Description of Live at Stubb's Vol.II
Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu, whose transcendent live shows are widely celebrated for moving masses around the globe, has once again captured the magic that he creates on stage with his new live DVD. Live at Stubb's Vol. II, set for release on February 1, 2011, is the second installment in his signature Live at Stubb's series.When Matisyahu's groundbreaking original live album, Live at Stubb's, was released in 2005, it launched him onto Top 40 radio with his now most-recognizable anthem 'King Without A Crown.' He had made an indelible mark on the musical consciousness of the U.S., but this proved to be only the beginning.
Now with three critically acclaimed studio albums to his name, Matisyahu decided to return to where it all began. On a hot August night in Austin, TX, this past summer, Matisyahu took the stage at the famed music venue Stubb's with his band, Brooklyn's The Dub Trio, for an unforgettable live music experience. Showcasing his incredible artistic evolution, Matisyahu unveiled brand new song 'Open The Gates' and performed songs that span his lauded catalogue, including selections from 2004's Shake Off The Dust...Arise, 2005's Live at Stubb's, 2006's Youth and 2009's Light, which debuted inside the Billboard Top 20. Inviting the intimate crowd to join him in documenting the extraordinary energy in the room that evening, he and his audience created the musical time capsule that is now Live at Stubb's Vol. II. These songs are infused with a vibrancy that can only be created during a Matisyahu performance, beautifully displaying the one-of-a kind voice and distinctive sound that has brought him to the forefront of today's music landscape. With a re-discovered love for roots reggae and improvisation at the core of his live show, Matisyahu brilliantly re-vamped the vocal and instrumental arrangements, elevating each song to new heights. From 'Kodesh' to tracks such as 'Mist Rising,' 'Youth,' 'Darkness Into Light' and 'One Day,' Live at Stubb's Vol. II is a raw and inspiring musical journey that is sure to become a treasured part of Matisyahu s acclaimed catalogue. With prolific lyrics, anthemic choruses and his signature fusion of reggae, pop-rock, hip-hop, ska-inflected new wave and acoustic folk, Matisyahu has broken boundaries through his music and has unified millions of fans with his music and message of peace, hope and understanding. Since recording Live at Stubb's on February 19, 2005, Matisyahu has gone on to become one of the most beloved and pioneering artists in music today with Stubb's holding a special meaning for him and his fans.
