1.0 out of 5 stars Overproduced & Uninspired, February 11, 2002

This review is from: Masterpiece (Audio CD)

Over-produced and uninspired, this album provides a perfect example of how bad rocksteady reggae has become. Gone are the brown-sugar bass lines and tickling rhythm guitar licks. They are replaced by tinny drum machines, annoying synthesizers (whatever happened to the Hammond, a piano or the 'real' horn section)and poorly executed dub-stylings.
Credit will always be due Mr. McGregor when it come to his powerful vocal abilities, but the foundation of 'Masterpiece' is cracked and crumbling. The album 'Big Ship' still remains his best and one of the best roots albums ever cut.

This is the first time I have purchased a Freddie McGregor CD, and it won't be the last. Great lyrics and music.

This is a perfect warm summer evening CD. All of the tracks flow together very well & there are very few "filler" songs on this CD. I would highly suggest this work to anyone who is a fan of the very busy Freddie McGregor. Very easy to listen to and quite consistent throughout. After Bobby Babylon, this is my favorite McGregor CD.
