    Volcanic Sunlight (I know I'm late) is an okay album. I appreciate his take on pop/dance music. I wish his lyrics were a bit more deep and breathtaking like we've become accustomed too, but this is a solid album.

    Any of you ever read The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury? One of the short stories called The Visitor stars a character named Saul Williams. The moral and theme of the story coincidentally sound like they could be the subject of one of his songs.
