5.0 out of 5 stars A member of the underrated hall of fame!, July 11, 2001
By 
"ramanis" (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rub It Better (Audio CD)
General Public broke up after this 1995 album do it being considered a 'let down' for people expecting a 'better' come back from the British dynamic duo of Dave Wakeling and "Rankin'" Roger. It is instances like these where I distruss the public as well as the critics. The only other person who loved this album besides me was a critic from Rolling Stone who also gave it five stars, which means a classic. Every song on this album certainly sounds like a classic and the entire album will resonate in your brain even after the first listen. With it's catchy synthesiser and guitar riffs and melodic hooks, this would make for a masterpiece for those of you who a)liked the English Beat, Genral Public's former incarnation or b)genrally love the fusion of Reggea and Pop. With Roger's Jamaican-style rapping and Wakeling's romantic lead vocals, 'Rub It Better' is a must-have in your record collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars great music,, November 4, 2005
This review is from: Rub It Better (Audio CD)
I have to agree with the previous reviewer and rolling stones on this one. It's nearly impossible not to tap your feet and bounce around to wonderful tracks like "Never Not Alone" and "Punk". They also mix in some nice slower tracks like "Friends Again", which displays their wide range of talents and ability to create different moods. I'm not even sure how to classify "It's Weird" which is just plain one of the coolest songs ever made. This may not have been their most popular album but it's far and away their best. Any fan of English Beat should like and enjoy this album. The only weak track in my opinion is "Big Bed", but that's just weak in comparison to how great the rest of this album is. I saw these guys live in San Diego back in 1995 and they were awesome, it's a real shame they didn't have more success with this album and continue to put out more. Definitely worth buying. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, May 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Rub it Better (Audio CD)
I never even know they did this album and picked it up used for $1.99! It's brilliant. The sound you expect is there but very polished. The production is perfect... on the money for each track, each hook. If you ever liked any General Public, pick this one up. And for the price you can't go wrong.
