2.0 out of 5 stars How did they get here?, October 15, 2010

This review is from: State of Emergency (Audio CD)

I bought this when it first came out and couldn't get through one listening. I couldn't believe that the band that recorded such classics as "Handsworth revolution" and "Tribute to the martyrs" somehow progressed to this.

I recently tried to listen to this again and I have not changed my mind. None of these songs captivate me like thier other recordings. The songs themselves are not really bad, they are just plain uninteresting to me. My main issue with this recording is that the instrumentation is so late '80s and sounds like a lame attempt to jump on a disco bandwagon that had long since past by.

THIS ALBUM IS AMONG THE BEST OF STEEL PULSE IF NOT THE VERY BEST. THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN MONO NOT STEREO AND THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY IT DIDN'T SOAR TO THE VERY TOP. IT HAS BY FAR THE MOST POWERFUL MESSAGE FROM ANY OTHER REGGAE ALBUM EVER PRODUCED ON JUST A SINGLE CD. JUST TO NAME A FEW: SAID YOU WAS AN ANGEL, P.U.S.H, STATE OF EMERGENCY, DEAD END CIRCIUT, MELTIING POT, LOVE THIS REGGAE MUSIC, REACHING OUT, STEAL A KISS. WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR. GO GET THE ALBUM, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING. 110%
