Editorial Reviews

UB40 make a welcome return with the release of 'Homegrown'. The album sees a return to the classic sound of this pioneering reggae group, who have had an overwhelming influence on a wide range of musical genres & inspired the career of numerous artists in their groundbreaking 23-year career. 'Homegrown' consists of 12 tracks, including a bonus track, 'Swing Low', a collaboration with United Colours of Sound, which is the Official Anthem of the England Rugby World Cup team. The end result is an impressive set that showcases the very best of UB40 vocals & melodies with the distinctive rhythms & production of a band that continues to push forward & explore new musical frontiers. DEP. 2003.

I'm a long-time UB40 fan, and I have to say this album is the only major disappointment I've ever had from the UB's!

I am a long-time fan of the boys from Brum and can honestly say that this release is horrid. They recorded the disc as a disjointed unit where everything befroe was as a team. The slick effort and reliance on electronic music shows big time.

I have played their other discs non-stop throughout the years but "Homegrown" is one that was played three times and each time I never got past track #4.

Save your cash on this one. A truely bad effort. They did, however, hit gold when they recorded their recent "Who You Fighting For." Now that one is worth the $$$.

UB40, have made a comeback with me. I have been a fan of UB40 for many years. I have always been impressed with their style. When I found the Homegrown album, I was totally amazed. This album you will never get tired of. Excellent music, stuff to grown on. Another good album from UB40 (but of course). They have never, ever let me down. I recommend every fan buy this one.
