Franti turns up the amps and the atmosphere with his 2008 release, All Rebel Rockers. A call to arms, the album takes a more mainstream approach at Franti's reggae rock style. While the choruses may be unappreciated by the intellectual music listener, the verses will certainly not disappoint. There is not one weak track on the album, and the instrumentation is nothin short of harmonious. Life in the City and The Future stand out as obvious highlights. Franti oftens confides in female duos for vocal support, and the result is nice R&B blend. If Hey World (Remote Control Version) doesn't have you singing the chorus, then maybe you're just not ready to experience Michael Franti at his finest.
