The album is good but could be better. I think he tries to sing too much instead of chanting. His "singing" abilites were ok in the past but there're not that good anymore. Also, some of the tracks aren't produced well. Therefore, like any other album, if you ain't feelin' the beat, you won't like the track. I have yet to listen to the entire cd from track 1 to the end. I find myself skiping some tracks.

The box set has 2 CDs: a regular and a live. The live in UK is ok but not exciting. I've been to Sizzla concerts in NY and they were much better. The problem with the live UK performance is the the live band played the exact beat as the studio produced songs. So except for Sizzla being live, the tracks aren't much different from the studio produced tracks.

For people who are already Sizzla fans and have all his CDs, this one is worth getting to add to your collection. For the rest of you, this one is still a good buy, but I would suggest buying one of his other better albums like Good Ways, Royal Son Of Ethiopia, or Liberate Yourself. His earlier albums are good to, like Black Woman And Child, and Praise Ye Jah. However, with the speed of reggae music, those albums are classics and the beats are somewhat oldschool.

Sizzla Kalonji!!! represent truth and righteousness...... saw him in person in ny when this come out....truly in live. this is good as all his previous ones. lyrics always inspire and uplift. cd is produced by fattis...so u know it. special bonus is the bonus cd, him live in UK, with songs like prise ye jah, black woman & child, and babylon ah listen. favorite tracks on cd- enemies are confounded and think positive. Only (minor) thing about cd is that there is a little less variety on the tracks. all a tem fast and typical sizzla. no slow or diffent tracks like on royal son. nuff respect and bless........

I saw Sizzla at The Ark this summer and he gave a great performance, better than the ones he gives on EITHER of the discs that make up this album. I own all of Sizzla's albums but I find this one kind of boring and repetitive. Just because his message is good doesn't mean the method is great. I'm "in the know" and I STILL agree with the reviewer.

A must have for you collection..period. All the song's are tight. I like Sizzla because even though you can dance to his music; you also get a message. The message of Rastafari.

the cd is the best ,the artist brings out the spirutal feelings in his music and i can relate to that.

sizzal kalongi, is the greatest artist and inspirator of his times. his works are found in all corners of the world . especailly amongst the black nation world wide. i came from africa and thats my birth place , but even the five year olds know who is sizzla in my country gambia. his music continually hits the top selections in clubs and shows. he is like a hero to us . cause he sings for the poor and the oppressed. and borns blazing fire on the wicked oppressors. i respect him so much and so should all ghtto youths do all over. lets wipe away the grudge and respect him. thanks for reading this. blackness always. peace to ya all.

Gotta say I love the live set. Good driving music.

Sizzla represents the latest in Rasta roots and Conciousiness. Today, he is considered one of the hottest conciousiness dj's in the industry. Sizzla Kolungi's popularity as well as talent continues to burn hotter, just like the fire in his lyrics.

I think that this album makes up for the "falling off" on Be I Strong. I was very disappointed about the tracks on that album, but Sizzla more than makes up for it on Words of Truth. This album is heavy on the bass, and the lyrics. I can't explain it, but the vibe on this album is a little different. I guess it is more hard-hitting than the previous albums. Nevertheless, a good one. Royal Son is already a classic along with the other albumns, so it is not fair to compare it with those albums, but Words of Truth is indeed one to have.

this is sizzla best yet i love the songs and the rhythm this one is a classic so is be i strong and his other old one's such as black woman and child ilove sizzla music and his vibes all of you sizzla fans out there this is a got to have album keep the faith and praise jah always blesed love rastafari
