Album Notes

Ecclesiastes -
A street poet, recording artist and linguistics scholar, born and raised in Chicago. His latest musical work "A Cryptic Gospel," follows several books of poetry and essays on Black culture, seeking to vividly represent and meticulously explicate the chronicles of the Black experience. Ecclesiastes works arduously to express the stark reality of a culture under oppression, and to inspire the possibility of roads to liberation.

REVIEWS

Very good, but repetitive at times
author: W.G.
                            
This is pretty good and it's the kind of message that gets censored if it manages to reach mainstream. It's definitly worth the cheap price. I do have to say that the wording can be extremely repetitive, although such instances are outnumbered by the parts that aren't repetitive. At those instances, it seems like Ecclesiastes is totally focused on chord progressions and trying to make the song be able to move forward from one chord to another. Not an easy thing to do, but every few songs, for maybe the first half of the CD, I have a feeling of waiting for the song to move on to the next part. The bulk of all the songs have smooth chord transitions, however, as well insightful and well written lyrics. The words do some neat stuff. So here's my thinking: It's great, except for the repetitive bits, which brought the score down by one star.
