Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile listen-Very incisive views.......2005-10-07

Let me be clear initially: I have no idea whether this man is innocent or guilty of the crime. Further: I think he deserves a scrupulously fair trial and let the chips then fall. On the subject at hand, however, it is clear that this is a very intelligent and articulate man in a very bad situation. I enjoyed the no holds barred nature of the segments.

What I did not enjoy was the "rah-rah" segments by other people. Eliminate these and put in more by Jamal and this is a very desirable CD set. Fortunately, my CD player has a very efficient skip button.

1 out of 5 stars This guy is a murderer.......2003-05-11

Are you people kidding me? This guy should be fertilizer by now not selling CD's. Welcome to bizaro world.

5 out of 5 stars Eloquent...Informative...Compelling..........2002-11-01

The one and only criticism I have about this work is that Mumia's oration invariably sounds vapid, but not so much that it detracts from the overall value of this album. I highly recommend it to anyone who seeks to hear the actual voice of the "Voice of the Voiceless". The substance of all the essays is ever absorbing and compelling. I stand in reverence to the man who has been able to maintain such a resilient spirit in the face of ongoing horrendous treatment and wrongful imprisonment. I also highly recommend reading Mumia's "Death Blossoms", a collection of vignettes he has written while in prison, and a work that is perhaps the best peek one can steal into the soul of the internationally known political prisoner.

The range of issues Mumia addresses in "All Things Censored" is impressive and informative and a testament to his penchant for analyzing crucial issues from a fresh and thoughtful angle. The conclusion of each piece recited by Mumia is cleverly punctuated by the sound of the slamming of a cell door behind the hook, "From Death Row, this is Mumia Abu Jamal".

Some of the best minds in America have joined Mumia on this CD to speak on his behalf and in favor of justice and against the Prison Industrial Machine. Ramona Africa speaks with characteristic fire and conviction, in a speech that was dubbed on a track of the Seeds of Wisdom album (get this CD!) The spirit of slain freedom fighter Judi Bari lives on in her cameo on the album. Anyone who has taken an honest, serious and open-minded look at Mumia's case will do well to get this as a collector's item. If you do not get this CD, at least check out the Refuse & Resist website for the full body of facts on the case. Also check out Mumia's three books and newest CD.

5 out of 5 stars The Voice for the Voiceless.......2001-01-08

Mumia Abu-Jamal has come to national spotlight under charges of improper judicial prodeedings and the national tilt toward a moratorium of the death penalty. While I am still unsure about the guilt of Mumia, this CD is vital to those who profess his innocence, those who are anti-death penalty -- and even those who are pro-death penalty. Mumia speaks with a voice of reason on issues ranging from prison brutality to the lack of objectivity in the mass media.

Most of these essays were to be aired on National Public Radio, but shortly before the first air date they were cancelled because NPR's sponsors did not agree with what Mumia was saying. That is a common theme throughout this CD: the people in charge are trying to keep Mumia silent by punishing him for writing his books ("Live on Death Row," "Death Blossoms," and "All Things Censored") and recording these sessions.

Buy this CD and learn what the higher-ups don't want you to know about. This CD is harmful to their very existance and if only for that reason you should listen to it.

3 out of 5 stars interesting compilation,obfuscates the real point.......2000-11-08

of course, no one who listens to this collection thinks mr. abu-jamal is anything other then a victim of a racist society,unfarly sitting on death row.the list of supporters is most impressive,and mr. abu -jamal himself is rather understated in his tone.The salient point is not the gross differential between rich and poor in the court system[is this news to anyone that people of color are routinely treated poorly ?],nor the blatant racist policies of the death penalty. The point is that mr. abu-jamal shot a man in philadephia,and has no defense other then some well meaning folks taken in by a smooth talking con.Speaking with others who have been inside,we all to a man agree that he is playing folks,and doing a damn good job of it.Shoud he die, of course not. People should look at the facts,not the hype,read the court report,read the trial transcripts.No,they wont...
