"Music Is the Weapon is a triple-disc package that contains both volumes of The Best of Fela Kuti volumes and the terrific documentary the title of this set comes from. There are a total of 13 tracks over the two discs, ranging from "Shakara," "Zombie," and "Sorrow Tears and Blood." Some cuts here, such as "Gentleman" and "Water No Enemy" are edited versions, while still others, such as "Shuffering and Shmiling," are the second parts of album-length jams. Nonetheless, while it's a bit irritating to not have entire tracks, this set makes for a quite decent sampler of Kuti's glory years". (Allmusic)
