    Boots Riley has at his disposal a rich, seldom-tapped seam of scathing rhetoric and concrete metaphor and fleshes out leftist analysis with humanist muscle and poetic integument.
  2. The A.V. Club

    It's a concept album, a bold provocation, a statement, a riot, and a hell of a party to boot.
  3. Rolling Stone

    It's an admirably ambitious mix, often a bit too unruly.
