"This is about us, as in the big 'us,' not about individuals, biases, cultural clashes or any of that other clutter that junks up our daily lives. This album is about how we are more alike than different." - Cat Delaney, Lucid Forge

"RebbeSoul crafts an energetic sound... packs an eclectic armament... for Jewish and Arabic music... RebbeSoul forges a danceable fusion." - Popmatters

"Soulful mission: RebbeSoul dedicates his long-awaited CD, Change the World With a Sound, to peace in the Middle East and throughout the world."- Halifax Herald

"From the dub feel of "Kaddish" to the folk-rocky "Shalom" and "Rock of Ages," perhaps my favorite is "Eliyahu," with a stripped-down funk groove, soulful Hebrew vocals by Lynn Rose, and some tasty hand drumming."
KAOS/Spin The Globe

"A thick and soupy blend of Middle-Eastern percussion, growling rock guitar, plucked balalaika and funk bass that builds to a perfect simmer." - Splendid

  11. White Rabbit (Dance Mix)
"Fun, funky, futuristic...idealistic. Get ready to groove in the New Age... Layers of international instrumentation: kalimba, gypsy-sounding percussion, and stringed melodies support Lynn Rose's sultry vocals to produce danceable world panache! From the killer duet of Radio Man, to the protest-rant-groove-spoken word of I've Seen God (and she's a lesbian), This CD charmed my headphones off me. My long-forgotten rock 'n' roll soul was stirred by the wailing guitar of White Rabbit. World music with a counter-culture twist." - Radio V

"Common Tongue is one of the most eclectic, visual landscape invoking, and imaginative groups that I've heard to date… The vocals are amazing and the multiethnic blends of music create a completely new aura for your music experience. You wouldn't expect all of these styles to fit together so eloquently. The music is funky, intelligent, and very unique. Their "Planet-Hop" style has a great appeal for music fans from many different genres… Simply put, it's a great experience." - Michael Allison - TheGlobalMusic.com
