An all-time classic... - By: , 10 Oct 2003 
If you could harness the energy in Malh, you'd solve the world energy crisis. An absolute diamond of an album. An intense, exhuberant blend of ska, punk, folk, rai with a few classic chansons thrown in for good measure. Trumpets, trombones, guitars, pianos, accordions & throaty, gravelly voices fight it out... oh who am I trying to fool, this album defies description. The most criminallly overlooked & underrated band of the last 15 years. Buy it!!
Mlah - By: redrun, 12 May 2003 This album must be one of the best forgotten albums ever. I haven't listened to it for about seven years but played it the other day & was surprised at the freshness of this band's first effort. It is an album that will be hoisted to the top of the retro's chart when the folkish bands of the late 80s become popular again i.e. The Pogues & the Waterboys. Mlah is full of good musicianship, songwriting, humour, tragedy, folk, rock, punk etc. It is a shame that the following albums never saw the band reach its' potential - as well as the death of the singer. This is an album that any serious fan of music must listen to, if not own it.
Any Gogol Bordello fan will hear Vertes influence on their style & the lead vocals. This is real 'Gypsy Punk' with half of the band coming from the Gypsy hovels in the South of France.
