Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Worth A Double or Triple Dip.......2005-10-20

Hey Dorrie, this version is just like the US version that came out in 2001. I already have the original and this one has a couple of bonus tracks plus a guest spot from Brooklyn's own The M-O-S D-E-Finitely and he records so few these days you have to cop anything Mos Def is on.
With Mystic you can feel the songs that really touch on hard topics like her father, having a child, being abused, her CD is the epitome of 'keeping it real.' So-called rappers who think they are MCs should stand up and pay attention and probably take some notes too.
There's also a Japanese version with another bonus cut and I'm going to track that one down too, lol Mystic is worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Truly Full of Cuts for Freedom.......2005-03-11

Mystic...wow! She does something for me on this album; the way she brings her dramatic edge ever so smooth and peaceful. Lyrics filled with nothing less than truth and complimented with an array of musical styles (jazzy neo-soul, hip hop, nice drums, conscious lyrics). Stand out cuts are "Here We Are", "The Life", "Be Free", and the bonus cut "Breathe". Guest appearances include Mos Def and Planet Asia (although not mentioned). This album doesn't waste your time with album filler, instead Mystic blesses every selection with some of the most beautiful "scars and cuts". Underrated classic.
