Lullabies from the Axis of Evil

Reception

• Washington Post: "The most thought-provoking musical statement made this election year just might be a CD of heartbreakingly beautiful songs for babies."
• Allmusic: "The idea is excellent - giving a human face to those countries labeled by George W. Bush as "the axis of evil" in his 2002 speech. But it's the music that lets the project down."

  Controversy

• The producer claimed that several artists had not wanted to participate in the project, because they were afraid of boycott from the music industry and media.
• According to a statement from the album's U.S. distributor Valley Entertainment, their company was blacklisted in 2007 by the George W. Bush administration because of its release. A press release from the album's original Norwegian record company Kirkelig Kulturverksted also claimed that their U.S. distributor had been blacklisted by the Bush administration.
