3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, February 11, 2000

Not one of their best records but it was nice to see HR back in the line up. The track " Justice Keepers" is a great track but most of the others seem to lack the intensity of their previous work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bad Brains are no longer a hardcore band, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: God of Love (Audio CD)

A fact that many people don't admit (or don't want to admit) is that Bad Brains are no longer, and no longer want to be, a hardcore band. This has ended in the alienation of much of their fan base. This album is filled with their peace love vibes and it isn't bad, but at the same time it lacks the energy that mad Bad Brains great. It is about half reggae. The reggae is good but not excellent and the hardcore lacks feeling. Why four stars then? They still do it better then anyone else, just not as good as before.

5.0 out of 5 stars alternative reggae, May 10, 2003

Ogunlade "ogunlade" (atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: God of Love (Audio CD)

let me begin by saying i am not a thrash fan. the early bad brains is not for me. i came to know bad brains as HR when i saw them on stage playing reggae. let me also say that i am a musician for Jah Kings reggae out of michigan.

that said, this album is one of my favorites. "rights of a child", "overs the waters", and "to the heavens" are conscious reggae classics at par with any artist. it is, of course, american reggae. so it mixes the influences of r&b and rock. Bad Brains / HR is the only band i know that had mixed these influences well. (except, of course, Jah Kings :-) i even like the non-reggae cuts on this album. just heavy enough to get the blood going without distorting the music, you can still understand the words.

i also recommend HR's "Charge" album.
