Customer Reviews:

It never gets old.......2006-09-26

I've owned this cd for years and I actually get cravings for it from time to time. I play it and I'm rarely disappointed. It may be cliche, but it really does sound as fresh today as the day I first heard it. Music, lyrics, production, it's all there in its highest forms. If you like it from the outset, you're hooked for life.

Outstanding!.......2003-10-08

I've had this cd for a long time now and I still pop it in just as much as the first week i bought it. Remember the name! your going to see alot of it. Carl takes poetry and music to another level. Rux Revue is soul,hip-hop,rock and jazzy. Listening to each track is deep!, the man takes you there, his words are vivid and the beat is oldschool yet fresh and new. Outstanding! Carl paves the way with this new era of music, but can they follow it?

NOT FEELING THIS..........2002-08-10

I remember reading a magazine article on this man about five years ago.At the time(1997),poetry was becoming mainstream so you just know MTV and the mainstream music media had to have their fingers in it.And in that many poets/spoken word artists had gotten signed to major record contracts.Carl Hancock Rux is one of them...This quietly released debut isn't much to shout about though.I don't know but Rux's voice isn't that "settling" to hear.And his compostions sound rather corny.Most obviously with "No Black Male's Show".This is a CD that even a thick-skinned music fan like myself would quickly return.It's just bad.I really want to recommend Saul Williams' debut.That's a spoken word album worth listening to.And check out for the amazing Cody Chestnutt,album called "The Headphone Masterpieces" coming real soon.

tight.......2000-04-26

A powerful excursion beyond the cookie-cutter mainstream! There are so many artists stretching out; we must support them. Check out Bluezeum featuring Adwin, Only Child, Peace and Fire, Mos Def. 'To infinity and beyond, baby!'

Loving every minute of this CD........2000-03-13

when was the last time I heard A poet who could actually sing, who could actually write poetry so that they still sound like good lyrics? And the brother's not even trying to pass himself off as a rapper!
