I remember U-Roy and actually used to listen to a lot of reggae, rocksteady, dub and the like and was quite excited to get this album. From a musical-historical and socialogical point of view this is a very interesting album After listening to a few tracks and the initial thrill wore off, however, I came to realize that it's not the kind of thing you would want to listen to for a prolonged period and a whole album of this is a bit much... While the underlying backing tracks are amazing, after a while I just wished I could listen to the tracks themselves without U-roy's constant riffing on top. For connoisseurs only... For the rest of us: just get the reggae albums...
