Reviews"In the song 'Constantine's Dream' the veteran of New York's cutting-edge cultural scene delivers a lengthy soliloquy regarding the tension between art and nature...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "A rather charming record. 'Mosaic' warms with a soft, circling groove....A low-light delight.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Smith leads one of the best and sturdiest bands in rock...and their intricately scored psychedelia is a running high in 'Mosaic'...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The peak here is 'Constantine's Dream,' an extended anthem to artmaking that makes the Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca sound rock & roll.", "Her latest feels like both a return to form and a renewal -- with Lenny Kaye's Sonic Youth-ful guitar meshing with Smith's literary lyricism..." -- Grade: A-, "'This Is The Girl,' the elegy for her fellow disciple of Ronnie Spector, Amy Winehouse, is a twinkling piece of '50s Lynch-pop drenched in blood and wine..."

Additional InformationPatti Smith returns triumphant with Banga, a provocative album offered with a poet's ear, an artist's eyes, and a rocker's heart.
