This review is from: Triumphantly (Audio CD)

Music may very well, and seemingly does, strike every bone in Turbulence's body from his foot to his dread, and it is becoming increasingly evident in his ability to release albums consistently, multiple times a year. All of his album fall over a certain line of quality and, to date, have yet to disappoint. He is probably setup to be the future king of roots reggae, and with the recent resurgence of the music, it is certainly no small role by which to call someone, fortunately, this someone has the skills.

Hearing Turbulence over the course of a few years now and now 9 albums, his messages have pretty much become clear. His brand of reggae follows a great deal that of his mentor, Sizzla's. Take away a lot of the edginess and add a mellower vibe and you'll have Turbulence almost exactly.

His newest album, Triumphantly, follows what I still maintain is his best effort to date, the brilliant Join Us on Kingston Records as well. Nope, Triumphantly isn't as good as the massive Join Us, it doesn't offer the variety of brilliance of as high of level as its predecessor did, but the album is still pretty good on its own merits. The best tune here is probably Music is Life which is, oddly enough, his second combination track with Luciano, very good tune. Also have to check the lyrically wonderful Suffer No More, Gun Crazy and what I maintain is the album's second best, Blood Dem Out with the wonderful backing, beautiful song mixed with an edge.

Overall, this, amongst all of Turbulence's albums after his first 2 goes to show the start of his potential. You listen to some of the ranges on this record and its absolutely amazing, if you go backwards and get Join Us after this one, you can see what happens when he puts it all together. Also, you have to check out his underground album, Words of Wisdom, which is a better album than Triumphantly, but doesn't show quite the range. Check this one out if you're a fan, or if you just want to be in on the groundfloor of something special.
