...Page and Plant's 1998 European Tour. Gedida is her third album. And perhaps, enough. Atlas' climactic introduction is just a prelude to ten long, indistinguishable tracks, Gedida has everything--hip hop, London dance beats, samplings from Rob Base & E-Z Rock, industrial tones, traditional chants, Egyptian indigenous bluesy pop and Arabic lyrics about truth and political oppression--but these flavors are overfused and hyper-blended into watered-down mush.
