5.0 out of 5 stars One of the OTHER very best..., December 13, 2005

...reggae albums of all time. Black Uhuru sound darker, more ghostly on this album. Bass is a little more up-front in the mix. The songs are almost as good as "Red". Not quite as quick or hyped up as that album though. Extra tracks are 2 dub versions.

Although this album never gets paid as much homage as Red, don't think for a second that makes this album a dud. I believe this is the best album Black Uhuru made while signed with Island Records. Yes, Red I'm calling you out and saying Sinsemilla has got you beat. I can't recall a day without me listening to this classical masterpiece. The first two songs (Happiness and World Is Africa) are quite different being that Michale Rose is singing solo, no Puma, no Duckie, just Michale. We all know the smash hits Happiness, World Is Africa, Sinsemilla, & Endurance, but there's much more to hear. For instance Push Push & No Loafing (Sit And Wonder), I truly feel these songs could've made it on some compilation albums. There's A Fire and Vampire are also classics, so you can really pop the CD in and just let it play. DON'T STALL ANY LONGER AND BUY THIS ALBUM! If you have Red and didn't even bother to listen to Sinsemilla's samples, shame on you! This album is 10 times better than Red and the two bonus track Sinsemilla (Dicsco Mix) & Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (Disco Mix), is the the sprinkles on the cake. The album is already the cake and icing, so who wants sprinkles???

4.0 out of 5 stars fill 'er up!, October 28, 2008

This album should be read as a sign of things to come. Maybe even a warning. Black Uhuru were no longer content being just any old "roots" rockers. They were about to become sonic explorers.
