4.0 out of 5 stars Good variety but missing something, June 23, 2005

Upful "innasense2000" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reggae Gold 2005 (Audio CD)

Overall, I think this is a good album. BUT, I think the Reggae Gold's of a few years back were a bit more cutting-edge. This cd has a few too many songs and beats that have been out for a while. I remember a few years back when "Just Gimmie the Light" was on the Reggae Gold series almost a year before the song got widespread recognition. I don't think there are any of those songs on this one.

I would like to praise a few of the tracks in order from good to great. Track 2: King of the Dancehall is good but it has been out for a few months (I would have really liked to see his fresher release 'Imagination' featuring Devonte). Track 5: 'Or Wah' is good (Luv Capleton). Track 12: 'Lava Ground' shows the excellent talent of newcomer I Wayne. Track 14: 'Superior' by Gentleman shows his impressive skill.

Finally, my favorite two tracks!

Track 8: 'Longing For' is Jah Cure's best song to date(i.m.h.o) and has been released on Reggae Hits 34(which is a better collection of songs for 2005).

***Track 13: 'Hail to the King' by Fantan Mojah impressed me the most! THE BEST NEW ARTIST ON THE REGGAE SCENE!! He has another cut called 'Hungry' on Reggae Hits 34 that is also an amazing song. Keep your eyes on this artist.***

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe the other reviews, September 28, 2005

I find it an odd coincidence that so many of the positive comments here are made on the same date. I realize the reason I've never heard of any of these artists is because their music isn't any good. You're better off getting Dancehall Nice Again 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Refreshing, July 2, 2005

This one is a masterpiece. I found out they were giving away 4 free downloads of this song at myspace/reggaegold. after I got my 4 songs for free, I just had to get the whole album. The best thing I did music wise this year.
