- I'm still travelin the Electric Mile
G.Love never fails... from one album to another I'm never disappointed. Electric mile is exactly what I've been waiting for ever since I got Philadelphonic. IF you want to know why -- then you must... I repeat MUST start Travelin' the electric mile. PRAISE UP... this album is awesome.

- G Love comes back with another good album
I really enjoy this album and I think that everyone else will too. I was sort of expecting more of a hip-hop feel, more Philadelphonic style, but I was impressed with his lack back style this time. If you are a G-Love fan this album is a must. Jasper makes his first return as well in a great track called "parasite." ... . G Love is one of my favorite artists and he backs up the his other four albums very well. I particularly enjoyed a song called "rain jam." It was incredible, simple and astoudingly beautiful. The rest of the album too. ... .

- A must buy album...
There is no other band i have ever heard that can mix it up so much like G.Love and Special Sauce. It's hard not to like it. I heard someone call Parasite a cheap throw away Bob Marley song, hahaha, to say the least it's definitely not, just because it sounds reggae does not mean it's compared to Bob. G puts his own style in there with a great addition of Jasper in the song. Night of the Living dead is a great song that kind of changes the momentum of the album. But i think that the song the Electric Mile may be my favorite song, it's a bluesy rocking sound with G's voice to it, it's great. You'd be a fool not to like this album. P.s i plan to see them tommorow on May 9th 2001 in St.Louis, ...

- Totally Sick Groove Thang
Just saw G.Love and the band at Avalon in Boston, MA. The show was great as usual, and proved what G is telling us on this CD...he is "Free at Last". G seems to have reached a new level of enlightenment in his career. He is clearly crossing over into the "high" ground free style jam space that only Jerry Garcia and Bod Marley have occupied. G is transending on this CD...and he is just getting started. See him live and LOOK OUT!
- A Great Artist
This is a great CD. G. Love is just pure, simple, good music. This may not be the best introductory album to his music though, instead "G. Love and the Special Sauce" should be the first to check out. This is a good sophomore album for the newcomer though.
My wife and I were discussing the humor in that a classic artist like G Love is now riding on the coat tails of a new artist, Jack Johnson (although I Love Jack Johnson), when he should be the most relevant acoustic guitar player of our time. Be sure to check out his cover of "Greatest Hits" on the Sublime tribute album.
I'd buy it again.
