5.0 out of 5 stars
conscious rasta vibe with wicked drum and bass,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brutal (Audio CD)
maximum respect to black uhuru for this 1986 effort!! it's sad to lose michael rose, but a young junior reid takes control at lead vocals, and the rhythms are unstoppable. don't listen to them wha seh "great train robbery" is the only interesting cut. "let us pray", "conviction or a fine", "dread in the mountain", "fit you haffe fit" -> all crucial cuts. to i mind, it is these that bring the true conscious natural reggae beat to the massive who care to listen. true "city vibes" and "reggae with you" are less that perfect, but you cyaan't escape this sound when you hear it. big up black uhuru for this album.

Still a tasty treat....,
By Nico (subterranean) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brutal (Audio CD)
This album had the unfortunate fate of being created after a series of some the greatest records ever made. Think Sinsemilla, Red, Anthem, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and of course Dub Factor to name a few. Yeah, Michael Rose probably left for the usual rockstar cliches and his empty lead voice spot would be a huge hole. Most bands would of dropped to their knees in tears about this time. Sure, nobody but Rose could cook up those vocals over a Sly and Robbie riddim. Truth be told, Junior Reid brought something good to the table too, so it's not like he arrived hungry and empty handed. It's not like Black Uhuru doesn't reinvent itself every few years anyway, so this change shouldn't of kicked up that much fuss. Sly and Robbie continued charging down that same progressive path. Some folks may complain about the very 80's drum sound. I still hear this record like I heard it when Brutal was new. So for me it is not dated one bit. Only advice I can give is to keep a sharp eye out for the double disc with the dubs. RAS records and still in print.
