One rare flaw that isn’t often seen on albums is the fact that there is one same song on both disks. The track “Trouble Come, Trouble Go” appears on both disks and there is no difference. If anyone is downloading single tracks off of the album, buying both is a waste of money.
There is an energetic funk about afrobeat music. Anyone who is a fan of traditional African sounds, funk music, or even Latin/Caribbean sounds should definitely consider the album. There are similar sounds to bands like the Buena Vista Social Club and Cuban music and anyone who wants to expand their range in world music should consider it. The Rough Guide to Afrobeat Revival is both a good value for the price and a great selection of different artists. Anyone with a real short attention span should consider the second disk and stray away from the longer tracks of disk one.
