    Oddly enough, he not only makes it work, he makes it a whopping success.

    Lots of rock stars have proclaimed their kinship for DJ culture, but Perry Farrell's passion seems to be one of the more genuine. [Jul 2001, p.82]

    A few dopey passes at world music are forgiven, as he still can't sing.

    Despite the dominance of modern technology, this is still an album that adheres to the blueprint Farrell has laid down in his previous two outfits. More importantly, it moves into new musical territory and, coupled with his brilliantly versatile voice, makes 'Song Yet To Be Sung' a triumphant return for the latter-day chameleon of rock.
  6. New Musical Express (NME)
    70
    A thoroughly modern, almost Byronic, solo album that updates past excesses in the context of the present, and ignores Californian darkness in favour of a polished, summery outlook.
  7. Alternative Press

    Farrell's silvery adenoidal baritone scissors through bass-heavy raggamuffin beats, dreamy swells of keyboard-fueled atmosphere and ticklish breakbeats -- and the slapdash aesthetic somehow coheres. [Aug 2001, p.79]

    Just bought this record and it's on heavy rotation!! This is just something else!! IT's beautiful!! I believe this album is highly Just bought this record and it's on heavy rotation!! This is just something else!! IT's beautiful!! I believe this album is highly under appreciated!! You never find a second to this album. It's just a big trip through 10 different musicstyles and it sounds great. Even that is worth a big 10!! I give it 9 because 10 cannot be surpassed... I believ that 10 rating must go to the coming album of Perry Farrell with his new invention: The Satellite Party; that will be another great party!! Another thing; Song yet to be Sung is a very positive and spiritual cd. Somewhere I read it's Perry's 'Ray of light/Madonna' but only 10 times better!! ITs LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!… Full Review »

    I did not get it at first but now its so obvios that Perry Farrell just uses another vehicle for his absolute genius. This record is not J.A. I did not get it at first but now its so obvios that Perry Farrell just uses another vehicle for his absolute genius. This record is not J.A. and not P.F.P. it is something unique on its own right!! It's just beautiful!! And a great joy to listen to it. It simply shimmers!!!… Full Review »
