Although the Dream Warriors' debut was released in 1991--the same year as De La Soul Is Dead and Definition of Sound's Love & Life--the album never received proper recognition. Mixing together jazz (the first song is "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style," and it out-loops anything Us3 ever did) and pop, crossing De La's "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" sensibilities with P.M. Dawn's summery touch, and laying down one hell of a groove, the Dream Warriors stepped up to the plate--only no one showed up to play the field. Years later the album sounds just as good as it did back then. --Randy Silver

4 out of 5 stars My Definition Of A Bombastic Rap CD.......2006-12-26

I really don't know why they didn't get much credit or air play, but this CD is, in my opinion, one of the most dynamic rap cds ever produced. Their sound was a rare thing only used by a handful if not less artists. De La Soul, Digable Planets are 2 that come to mind. They had a fairly big single with My Definition of a Bombastic Jazz Style, however far from as big as it should have been. This cd is nothing but a nice happy place. There is no drama or tales of struggle, just simple fun music. This is quite a gem, pick it up, its what being unique is all about.

5 out of 5 stars The Dream Warriors! Wow! I remember this album!.......2001-11-21

it's great. i've actually looked for this album in music stores but couldn't find it until i remembered that amazon has the song title search (i didn't remember the name of the musicians). i did remember the names of 2 songs though: "Face In The Basin" and "Do Not Feed The Alligators".

The music is kind of like a laid-back rap, with similar sound to 'De La Soul' as others mentioned. i'd buy it mostly for the nostalgia factor, but also because of those crazy lyrics and the corny sound. my cousins and i listened to this stuff when we were kids and we still love it.

4 out of 5 stars Great Pick up!.......2001-08-09

I absolutely LOVE the Dream Warriors. It brings me back to the greats of early 90's rap music. I agree, they are an unremembered rap group, but this record is so fun and will bring you back too. Thier sound is a bit more progressive than most rap music of the time, but their style is one that can definitely be appreciated today. Enjoy

5 out of 5 stars It's a head-bobber!.......1999-09-13

This is a group who deserve more recognition than they have received from the hip-hop scene. Their style and flow is reminiscent of the Roots and De-La-Soul. If you like that mix of Jazzy beats with lyrical mastery, then this group is definitely not one to overlook.
