"I loved the last album, Dancehall Caballeros, but this one is even better. It's pace is faster. If you like dancehall/reggae you'll love it. Even though parts are in German, which I don't speek, the vibes are still universal."
Solid dancehall-hiphop with deep basslines

"hi, here comes more berlin dancehall-flavour to you. "music monks" is a rocksolid album, but different and not so great as "new duppy conquerors", which really surprised reggae-germany. this cd has more deep-dark grooves and technical elements in it, less bandsounds and percussion. hits are definately "music monks", "double soul", respectness" and "waterpumpee" (despite the fact, that anthony b is not really having a strong part in this song). it takes a little time to get used to the new sounds of seeed, but after it... berlin still blazin!!!"

"I Just got this new Album and I have to say that it is great. Just as the first Album of SEEED "Musik Monks" is the Dancehalls best. Even if it has german in it international people still can enjoy this chilly sound... Especially "Fire in the morning" and "Jackpot Girl" satisfy my Reggie addiction."
Awesome !

"German Reggae? You bet, and its not some faux gimmick. It's soulful, authentic and beautifully done, from Deutschland to the reggae world:-0"
Good, but not great

"Seeed changed their style on this new album a bit. The particular tracks are more definite than on "New Dubby Conquerers": the Dancehall songs are more Dancehall, the Roots songs more Roots, the Ska songs more Ska. In my opinion, that's one reason why they lose a bit of their special style here.
The highlights are definetly "Respectness", "What You Deserve Is What You Get", and "Double Soul" featuring Tanya Stephens. All in all it's a good Seeed album, but if you're looking for a great Seeed album you might better buy "New Dubby Conquerors"."
