This was the fourth album by Dread Zeppelin. While it is enjoyable, it isn't as good as their previous albums. Maybe the joke was wearing thin at this point, but there just aren't as many laughs this time around. The songs are as well played as ever, but it's not quite as funny. Still, fans of Dread should enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The mighty Dread Zep's finest hour, July 24, 2003

This album is a great listen from beginning to end.
My favourite on here has got to be "Unchained Melody".
The Elvis-Zeppelin-Reggae formula was applied to disco music on the previous DZ effort, "It's Not Unusual", which was an interesting idea but was hurt by the absence of Tortelvis. However, the idea of applying the Elvis-Zeppelin-Reggae formula to songs that are not originally Elvis, Zeppelin, or Reggae, was a good one and it's explored a little further here and it works extremely well with "Unchained Melody". The Zep tunes such as "Hot Dog" and "All of My Love" come off really well here. A real standout is "Kashmir". This album has good momentum and plays really well all in succession, probably moreso than any of their others. I saw them several times on this tour....what a great group to watch and listen to. I truly believe their charm goes further than just their gag, which is important, because gags get old. Long after the gag is no longer funny, this disc is a great listen. The playing and the clever arrangements are just so terrific.

I live in a culturally impoverished area with one rock station that plays the same predictable dinosaur classics. We have no alternative or world music here, so I was very eager to hear Elvis signing Led Zeppelin covers with a reggae twist.

Honesty forces me to say I was expecting more of a parody (Weird AL style) than a serious tribute; however, Dread Zeppelin stayed true to the mystery and mystic of the original songs while displaying a playful spontaneity that made me a true fan.
