Editorial Reviews

Capleton's The People Dem is more a collection of recent 45s and hard to find tracks than it is a proper album, although that doesn't prevent it from sounding like a cohesive sequence, mostly because Capleton seldom varies his approach to things, staying blustery and aggressive while adhering to his standard roots-influenced dancehall style. "See Dem," "Judgement," and "Jah Lives" (with its fuzzy electric guitar lead) are among the standout tracks, but Capleton really sounds at his best here when he tones things down just a hair on the romantic and poppish "So Fine" and the infectious set closer, "No Time," which features a guest spot from Military Man. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

This review is from: People Dem (Audio CD)

This is a disturbing trend in the prolific dancehall artist category. Most of the tracks from this album first appeared on an album called Toe 2 Toe Vol. 3 featuring about 9 tracks each from Sizzla and Capleton. I counted a total of 6 new tracks on this album (Movements, Mass Media, Mankind, Woman Dem A Gwan, Burn Dem Down, and No Time). They are decent. The best IMHO is Burn Dem Down as it is very rough and brings back the deep cuts of Capleton's edge.

Looks like Capleton can't keep up w/ his main man Sizzla. Not that Sizzla doesn't do the same trick with one or two tracks on occasion.
