While both of these releases have certain appeal for fans of the band, the value of spending 70 minutes listening to four strangers blabber on (with subtitles, to boot!) about their favorite songs may seem dubious. But regardless of one’s relation to the band, there is something undeniably modern and worthwhile in hearing people so deeply moved by such diverse forms of music speaking as much from their standpoint as musicians and songwriters, as from the position of common music lovers.

...only time the slowed-down, lovesong style achieves a bearable level on this album is when LL doesn't blabber. On "Two Different Worlds," guest vocalist Cydne Monet has a soft, gentle voice that offers the listener a brief moment of relief from LL's love raps. Thank you for saving a part of this album...
