youth actually is my least favorite of matisyahus 3 cds though. dont get me wrong, i think the cd is dope as fuck. its been bumpin in my car nonstop for the past month, and so far its my favorite album of 06, but i just really liked live at stubbs and shake off the dust. live at stubbs just blew me away, and that shit was bumpin in my car for months straight. id try to listen to other shit cause i didnt wanna play it out, but within a few days i couldnt help it and would have to pop live at stubbs back in. i love shake off the dust too, the reason i like it better than youth is that it just has more of that raw hebrew/reggae (im not jewish by the way) sound to it, as opposed to youth where more of a pop type production went into its making. and also its the first cd i listened to of matisyahu so its all i had to listen to until live at stubbs came out. still though i really dig youth, track 4 - dispatch the troops - is my favorite. and i bet track 3 is gonna be the next single after the track youth. it just has that hit single sound to it
@psilo - do you live in san diego? i went to marley fest too. matisyahu was tight, but i heard that he commented that all the smoke in the arena disgusted him, either way his set was good. the other guy who impressed me was gentleman from germany, fools pretty dope too
