Music reviews of No Place To Be (CD/DVD)
Music Review: No Place To Start
Rating: 4 Stars
It's possible I've been spoiled by Youth, then backwards to Live at Stubbs, and most recently a spectacular live show mid-December '06 in Boston. Though I felt excited enough upon opening No Place To Be, my anticipation wasn't quite immediately rewarded.
About the CD: I never have much cared for the included version of Jersusalem no matter that it features "riddim" legends Sly and Robbie. To me, this take lacks the warmth of Youth's Jerusalem and sounds a bit rushed, as if Matisyahu's laboring to keep up with the band. Chop 'Em Down felt pretty good as to a certain extent did Message In A Bottle. But the remixes mostly lost me. I can't decide which sounds more horrid--the brutal Jerusalem Swisha House remix with its mechanically slurred vocals, or the downright ugly Youth Small Stars remix which swallows this great song in an utter dance club mess suited only for decadent, gyrating flesh at some babylonian golden calf-worship. I can't bring myself to play either of these two remixes for my girlfriend, who adores Matisyahu's music like I do. I feel the need to protect her from them. I'm left wondering if Matthew Miller personally approved such bad taste?
To my profound relief, the DVD arrives to rescue No Place To Be, though the redemption takes a little while to kick in as Matisyahu's vocals sound a bit flat at first and his energy takes a while to build. I at first missed the added keyboard and percussion players present at that wonderful Boston show, but Matisyahu's core band of bass/drum/guitar players on the DVD are ridiculously talented enough to well-fill out any sound. The performance and excitement wonderfully does build, with between-song interviews with Matisyahu and his players, and "unplugged" versions of Matisyahu music performed by the band seated and serene in some Jerusalem ruin. I'd love to see an entire DVD of such acoustic Matisyahu. Unfortunately, the end credits roll over the final, unplugged "What I'm Fighting For", but compared with the CD, the credits can roll over what ever they want to on this fine DVD.
I nearly gave this package three stars; but despite those nearly sickening remixes it deserves four. If you're new to Matisyahu, the CD renders this release "No Place To Start" unless you just put the CD away someplace and don't listen to it until you've heard the DVD, Youth and Live At Stubbs a dozen or so times each. I just wouldn't want anybody getting the wrong idea, you know? Not only is Matisyahu that good, but he's "going places" I wouldn't want anybody to miss out on because of some music producer's bad judgement.
Rock On.
