Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Great artist with unique sound
Submitted on: 2009-06-12 |

| I first heard her music on the radio; the station played the song Galang, which I didn't like at first, until I found myself endlessly singing it. It had found its way into some crevice in my brain, and it's still there to this day. I eventually bought the album for myself, and I was blown away by it. This is M.I.A.'s first album, and it is remarkable. Such incredible rhythm and lyrics, with messages and depth. Such an incredible range of instruments I've never heard of, culled from many different parts of the world. Everything, even down to the cover design, which she did herself, I've been told, is absolutely drenched in a sense of originality and individuality that is so unheard of in the music business today. I can see thousands of Miley Cyruses or Jonas Brothers, churning out pop ballads about your boyfriend breaking up with you or a pretty girl you like, and I weep for the future of music. But then I hear music like this, from a new artist, no less, about things like how an AK-47 can be purchased for only 10 dollars in Africa and I have hope that kids in the future will grow up with music that was handmade with care and thought, and not just churned out, coated with honey, and with the edges filed off for profit and mass consumption. A flawless merging of disparate genres and elements with unique design and lyrics that matter. Absolutely fantastic and unmissable. |

M.I.A's First and Awesome Music!

| After getting her second CD, Kala, I decided to get her first CD. I am actually impressed how good her first CD is next to her second one. I really don't understand how she didn't get popular from this CD. I recommend this CD if you love Kala. Its worth it! |

M.I.A. "Arular"
Submitted on: 2009-01-10 |

| Upon coming across this album like a gold mine, I was in the process of re-defying myself by the music I listen to. This album represents problems that are happening all over the world and addresses them with a catchy, rhythmic tune. It basically talks about a serious concept in life and makes it sound like nothing at all. This aspect is indulged with M.I.A.'s amazing perspective at song writing. By stepping into the music industry and singing about something that nobody has even tried tried to attempt, M.I.A. made her mark on the industry forever. This album instills music in it's audiences mind with clean, popping beats, catchy lines that just make you want to dance, and her wonderful done home British accent. If this album isn't worth anyone's time, then I don't know what is. |

Worth it

| Lively beats and thought-provoking (though nonsensical) lyrics. Good for lifting the mood without invoking false optimism. |
