Description
Those who want nothing more than Rasta-metal screech coming from the throat ofBad Brainsshould pass on this solo disc. Those who skanked to the reggaefied groove of H.R.’s (aka Joseph 1, Paul Hudson) so-so earlier discs on Olive Tree should like this tons…Rather than go for a standard roots/dancehall style, the accent is on a harder,Parliament-style proto-gogo with touches of soul and jazz. Granted, it lacks the insane intensity ofThe Brains’ work, but it succeeds on subtler levels. Lyrically, there are no surprises — plenty of peace and love vibes and rote Jah worship, but the band (Brains’Earl Hudson, drums;Kenny Dread, bass;David Byers, guitar; andOscar Brown, Jr., keys) is tight without being tightassed, and give more than adequate support to H.R.’s croon-to-whine vocals… -All Music Guide
