"In the Bahamas, Baha Men have been on point for 20 years or more. Until "Who Let The Dogs Out", which is not - repeat - NOT what we down in Nassau were used to hearing. That was some nickalodeon garbled stuff. I went back home quite a few months ago to work on MY project, "The Demonstration", and an old high school friend shows up at the studio door. It was Rick Carey of Baha Men. (Back in school, he was just a hip hop producer. Now he's both). We get to talking because "Move It Like This" was horrid. I actually liked their 3X platinum "Who Let The Dogs OUt", but that second album had NO redeeming qualities. It was more kid music; worse than the first. Rick tells me they just wrapped on their second album recorded at Ocean Studios (one of the best ones I've ever walked into...) He also says he wrote more on this album, and it has more of an adult feel. I was more than happy to hear that. Rick grew up with the music, his father's been in Baha Men for around 20 years, if I'm not mistaken. With songs like "Tempted" and "Holla" and "69", this album is definitely a step in the right direction. If marketed right, it could garner new fans for the group; the likes of which you'd have never imagined. I was there before the album went off to be mastered, I was there to help out with what I could in the tour rehearsals, I was there to watch Rick do some production wizardry on some reggae remixes. Also, realize that this album is the first for two new members of the group. Rick is the only lead vocalist to return for this third installment of Baha Men. I told rick he could do it, and on this album, they ALL managed to do the d*mn thing. This is amazing, and I recomend it to any and everyone.Peace, and God Bless."
Holla! Success!

"Firstly, I am a music critic for my school paper. I was not expecting much from the Baha Men when I heard some of their earlier songs. It was not until watching The Garfield Movie, a movie of my younger sister's, that I realized that the Baha Men were capable of producing such great sounds. I was skeptical, at first, when I bought the CD. I wasn't expecting much. When I turned on my player to listen to the music, I was really impressed with the funky Carribean sounds that came out through my speakers. My favorite song on the record is Holla, it has a catchy rhythym and great sound. I would reccommend this CD to anyone who asked me for my opinion on the Baha Men!"
