5.0 out of 5 stars How Dub War is better than any other band., May 3, 1999

Dub War. I think those two words can give an average person plenty of words to think about. To me it says metal, reggae, punk, and mixed. It is just really awsome. The way they fuse together everything is just absolutely but kind of terrifyingly delightful! BUY IT!

Heard this band has had some success in Europe,so I assume they're trying for an American fan base.Their sound is somewhat complex.They combine funk,metal,punk and hip-hop.Didn't really do all THAT much for me.A couple of tracks I thought were 'okay' were "Mental","Respected" and the heavy-duty "Spiritual Warfare".If you're into the likes Fishbone,Bad Brains and Living Colour,you'll most likely get more out of this CD than I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very solid stuff, October 6, 2008

I'd disagree that Dub War's debut album is any worse than its successor "Wrong Side of Beautiful". Both albums are very solid works of musical art and must be percieved as unalienable parts of the band's very small legacy (and you can really do without "Enemy Maker", which is a collection of demo versions and remixes). At the same time, the first album is probably less complex in musical texture than the second and more agressive and raw -- no ballads here like Silencer and Cry Dignity. But really go for it -- it's really worthy stuff. And yeah, some parallels can be made with Fishbone and Living Colour (not so much with Bad Brains) but it has its own distinctive style and sound.
