Forget the typical "no brain" nonsense hip hop. This CD is real "hip hop" talking about real life. You can tell these guys are intelligent and talented the whole way through and will definitely keep you entertained.

This is a good Cd to listen. You can hear songs in different languages like English Japanese and Spanish. I especially like Wakaranai and WOM. Great female singing too!

HIP-HOP AIN’T DEAD!! Without a doubt, every track on Word Of Mouth’s 'Voice of Reason' is exceptional! With their debut album, the San Francisco Bay area's Word Of Mouth skillfully mix and meld World Music, Funk, Latin and Hip-Hop together into an impressive finished product. From start to finish, ‘Voice of Reason’ is jam-packed with hits, and it has quickly become one of my favourites. From heartfelt, feel-good anthems such as “Mad Love” and “I Remember”, to the funky, bass-driven “Sensational Raps”, W.O.M. delivers quality with each track. To keep you listening intently, “Pasatiempos”, “Lucky 2B Alive”, “Wakaranai” and “Qualité De La Vie” contain memorable, poignant vocals and melodies. Likewise, in “Translation”, “Wakaranai” and “Qualité”, W.O.M. engages the listener’s intellect with the foreign language talents of multilingual artists. In contrast to the flat and sterile sounds of most artists out there today, Word Of Mouth is one of those rare groups whose vocals and music possess richness and fullness. Indeed, there is something here that will please everyone. 'Voice of Reason' has elements that will appeal to fans of Jazz, Funk, World Music, Latin, Hip-Hop, Progressive--and other genres of music as well! Intelligent, interesting lyrics in multiple languages complete the package, making this album an essential addition to any collection. Without question, Word Of Mouth’s 'Voice of Reason' is one of the premier albums on the market today! Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy!!
