5.0 out of 5 stars A Sizzla greatest hits album. . ., April 19, 2002

This is an easy one. Reggae Max is basically an underground greatest hits style album. It has some songs on it that I've never knew existed (i.e. Pressure), but it has some big sounds on it as well. First of all, its pretty hard to give any album that has the studio version of Black Woman & Child on it, flat out one of the greatest songs ever made, barnone. It also has Holding Firm, Babylon a Listen, Babylon Cowboy and Do Some Good, all smashes. Then you get to the big underground cuts like the lyrically excellent Explain to the Almighty, True God and Love is Amongst my Brethrn. Because Black Woman & Child is on the album, its pretty clear what the best song is here, but the second best is the hip-hop inspired Who is Laughing with, ubelievably, Ninja Man. The pairing is very unique, and Sizzla and Ninja Man pull it off amazingly. (also you can clearly see Sizzla's overall abilities, as his lyrics toy with a riddim that a legend in Ninja Man has a little trouble in riding.
Overall, Sizzla has another greatest hits album (with One Away on it) coming out next week, but, if you're not planning on buying that one, or if you're like me, and you buy anything with Sizzla's name on it, then by all means pick this one up, and if you've heard alot about Sizzla, but never heard him actually, this might be one of the better places to start.

It's a bit early for a best by sizzla or a greatest hits but this is surly a preview of what's to come. This is simply the best collection of sizzla songs I've seen on one album. On this album U can feel sizzla's message in every song his pain in "Freedom Cry" his stuggle in "Black Woman And Child" for all conscious lover get this album U would not B disappointed!
