'Electrifying' - The New York Times
Amazon.com:
Maya Arulpragasam, the British-based daughter of Sri Lankan refugees, delivered one of 2005's eye-popping debuts, Arular. For an album that proudly flaunted tin-can production, indecipherable South London slang, and lyrical nods to suicide bombers, it brought the woman who records under the name M.I.A. unexpected mainstream success--she followed its release by touring North America with Gwen Stefani and recording with Missy Elliott and Timbaland, while the single 'Galang' made its way into a car commercial. Kala (the first release was named after her freedom-fighting father, this one after her mother) throws Arulpragasam's newfound pop credentials into the bustle of Bollywood rhythms, police sirens, 8-bit dancehall beats, Third World car horns, and street singers. Recorded across several continents, it presents a far more dynamic listening experience than her first album, especially with tracks like 'Bamboo Banga,' 'Jimmy,' and 'Paper Planes.' It's no less exhausting, though. What with the New Order sample, Timbaland cameo, and gunshot sound effects, there isn't a moment when it doesn't feel like you've unintentionally invited an entire carnival into your home. --Aidin Vaziri

Rating:  - ~*~Get this album!!~*~
M.I.A. rocks it on Kala. She teamed up w/Timbaland for this album. The beats make you want to get up and shake it. This music helps me unwind from a stressful day of work. I also recommend it for when you are running on your treadmill. The beats are unlike anything America has ever heard. She represents for us Indian girls! She raps about current events and politics. I especially love "Paper Planes" and "Come Around". Her music speaks to you. Check it out. You won't be sorry!!

I'm intrigued. I have put myself into the position of responsibility to purchase a wide range of music that I might not otherwise be familiar with, and Kala is just such a purchase.
Quite honestly, I love her accent, and I love her quirky sense of style and artistic chaos. And that translates to the music. The irony being that the music is so "happy" and up-beat, and contrary to the opinion of another (obviously rhythmically challenged) reviewer, it is incredibly dance-able. Infact, ... Read More
Rating:  - It's okay, BUT -
if you like this type of music then I think that you might like Crystal Castles better. I think the beats are much better, the vocals are more interesting and the creativity is just, overall, stronger.
ALSO - CC is on a non-RIAA label. If that matters to you. It does to me.
Rating:  - Groundbreaking? Fresh New Artist to Hit The Scene? NO!
MIA has seemed to get a lot of publicity by magazines and by Amazon, so I thought I check it out. I consider myself to be diverse in most music, so I always try to give some modern pop/hip hop a fair chance. Most of it might wind up in my garbage can, but that is besides the point. I have to admit some of MIA material is somewhat catchy, and that is the only reason that I gave it two stars, but folks, this has been done before. I dont understand where this is ground-breaking. Am I missing something? ... Read More
Rating: - Fresh, new, invigorating
This cd is great. It's fresh, new, invigorating, original, and fun. Personally, I love it for upbeat workout music. If you like M.I.A., check out Santogold as well.
