		I first saw Saul Williams in the summer of 03 in Philadelphia when he was on tour with the Mars Volta, and I was blown away to say the least.
		Saul was the best part of the whole show, and when he later approached the table I was working, I was able to have a great conversation with him.
		This twelve track disc is Williams at his best, using his poetic skills in conjunction with electrifying beats and sounds leave the listener begging for more.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Music \| Saul Williams
		Saul Williams is an actor and a musician but he is a poet before everything.
		Saul sings, “…I gave hip-hop to white boys when nobody was looking / They found it locked in a basement when they gentrified Brooklyn / I left a list of instructions, an MPC, and a mic / My sci-fi library and utensils to write”.
		Maybe Saul did not know where he was taking the music while he was making it, and the album goes from being universally appealing to being downright odd.

	:: MVRemix Reviews: Saul Williams — Saul Williams ::
		The self-titled album by Saul Williams is like a breath of fresh air that is overflowing with poetry, hip-hop, rock, and a love for Black culture.
		Produced by Saul and Mickey P, this LP is loud and in-your-face similar to a poetry slam but the melodies and musical aspects of the LP elevate Saul to another level.
		Like poetry, Saul Williams is a force of nature and his music will force you to open your mind and ears.

	The Academy of American Poets - Saul Williams: Dreadlocked Dervish of Words
		A leading voice on the spoken-word scene, Saul Williams began astonishing open mic audiences with his impassioned tongue-twisting verse in the mid-1990s and eventually became a grand slam champion at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
		In 2004, Williams released the self-titled album Saul Williams, for which, as he explained, he approached the music as a musician, not as a spoken-word artist.
		The album Saul Williams was influenced by a wide range of artists including Jimmy Hendrix, Radiohead, and the Mars Volta, and resulted in a fusion that Williams calls "industrial punk hop." Brian Orloff, writing in Rolling Stone magazine, explained: "Musically, Saul Williams matches Williams's lyrics with gritty, frittered guitar and urgent rhythms.

	Time Out New York: Slam's Saul Williams
		Williams plays the film's protagonist, Raymond Joshua, a petty marijuana peddler who is devoured by D.C.'s predatory criminal justice system after being arrested on a minor possession charge.
		Like Ray, Williams was originally inspired by hip-hop; he credits T La Rock's "It's Yours" as the song that first prompted him to put pen to paper back in the fourth grade in Newburgh, New York, helping him realize his ability as a poet.
		Williams cites this neglect, coupled with the dismissal of the legitimacy of young fl voices by their elders, as the root of the widening generation gap plaguing the fl community.

	LitKicks: Can a Poet Save Hip Hop? Meet Saul Williams
		It’s nearly impossible to categorize Saul Williams, and what he does, with a conventional label — which is exactly what he wants as he fights to tear down the walls and eschew all labels.
		The film, which Saul co-wrote, centered on a young man who used poetry to break free from his given reality, and was a huge hit, winning awards at both the Cannes and Sundance film festivals.
		By the end of 1998 Saul had penned deals with MTV Books and American Recordings, and was well on his way to hitting the market with his enlightened and enlightening language, taking the attitude that the only way to change something is to become it and do so from within.

		Saul Williams has been the star of a film; now he's the star of his own record.
		Williams calls his turn in "Slam," as central character Raymond Joshua, "a mission." His mission in making the film is portraying a world, in this world's verité, in which words call worlds into existence.
		His debut album finds Williams speaking, rapping, and singing his way over an ungainly mix of breakbeats, string parts, and peace/love drug-rock flourishes, the whole sounding like it's dropped in from a freaked-out cosmos devoid of self-consciousness and flushed with earnestness.

	Musictoday® -- Empowering Fan Connection
		Williams was a hip hop kid, and while the words and sounds that make up his music may not fit in with what Williams calls "faulty definitions of hip hop," the writer has clearly absorbed the genre’s teachings.
		Williams’ songs, on the other hand—like “Penny For Your Thoughts,” “Coded Language,” and “1987,” for example—are thoughtful, self-reflexive treatises on all that is great about the young genre and what may have gone wrong with it.
		Williams first broke through to wider audiences through his work on the movie Slam, which won numerous cinematic awards for its portrayal of the competitive poetry slams that became popular during the last decade and a prison inmate (Williams) whose life was changed by poetry.

		Saul Williams, the supreme intellect, the poetic visionary and the multi-tasking workaholic
		Backed with two new rap songs and a bunch of mixes, Saul was able to sum the anti-war movement as well as articulately state valid reasons for the West not being allowed to police other parts of the world.
		And there we leave, Saul lost in thoughts and myself lost in a whirlwind of words and imagery and somewhere in the chaos of it all, I’m left with a positive smile on my face.

		Saul is no singer, and I don't say that because he's simply a better poet than he is a singer.
		If Saul has another skill beyond his ability to put a pretty slick metaphor or image to anything he can see, let it be known that in no way, shape or form is this other skill singing.
		Of course, as Saul shows on "Coded Language", his style of "emceeing" is actually quite closer to the role of a traditional concert emcee than the modern hiphop "MC".

	Saul Williams - Saul Williams - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Saul doesn’t help things either by reminding us that “on the stage or street, [he] don’t need no microphone or beat”.
		There’s the quiet, introspective Saul on “Talk to Strangers”, the angry, fulminating Saul on “Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare)” or the squealing, howling Saul on “Surrender (A Second To Think)”.
		However, on the opening track, he warns “this is not for the underground, this here is for the sun”, shedding light on the eponymous title for all us Earth dwellers; for it seems Saul Williams may have created an album for the loneliest of audiences, himself.
