Everything on this cd is good. Not one bad song on the whole thing. The vocals are very conscious and roots-wise. The Roots Radics are laying down the heavy roots riddims with ease and style. This is a GREAT roots reggae cd and I recommend that you definitely pick this cd up and add it to your collection. My personal favorite songs by Israel Vibration are the songs that Apple Gabriel , who has since left the group, sings the lead vocals on. That is not to say the others are bad by any means. These 3 together offer up some stunning harmonies and have perfected a newer style of reggae which added greatly to the world of reggae.

The newer cd's by Israel Vibration are good in my opinion, but they lack the smooth voice of Apple Gabriel. I suggest that if you enjoy his voice, as on the song Ambush for instance, then go pick up his debut solo effort entitled APPLE GABRIEL...Another Moses. A very worthwhile solo effort.

Bottom line? Israel Vibration is always a sure hit! Also recommended by them:
Strength of My Life
Praises
Free to Move
Forever
I like The Same Song too, but the production is less than quality on that one. Great music though.

One Love!

Man, just the roots and vibes of the first song on this album should sum up the review-- MUST HAVE! A classy reggae band and one you should definately have many albums of in your collection. Much props.

Isreal Vibrations have carried the torch of hard knocking conscious reggae since the death of Bob. Mr counselor man and ambush are close to the newer reggae styles while Rude Boy Shuffling is a pure, back-a-yard, foundation-shacking BIG TUNE. This CD is for all the conscious brethren. Nuff respect from Trinis at SCSU

The only ting I can say is that even though there are many great works by Skelly, Apple, Wiss, and the Roots Radics band, This one is my personal favorite ! Shuffle on rudy.
