Don't even bother wasting your coin. This CD should never have been released. Seems like Beenie Man's head tek him! Or maybe this is just a quantity release play. Either way, trash this one, or use it as a coaster for a cool Red Stripe!

If you are a Beenie connoisseur, the first thing you will probably notice about this album is he was defenitely inspired to reflect the style of his earlier years (early nineties)which is a refreshing change. This is not Beenie Man's best work but never-the-less good dancehall material. There are a few especially catchy songs with good reggae beats (Boogie Down, Feel Good, Recruiting Girl), and, of course, there are a few tracks that (I believe) should have been dropped (Green Card Buddy, a very strange song). It is obvious that Beenie was not looking for American airplay (as it is not produced extremely well, and sounds like it was recorded in my bedroom). Overall in this reflection of Beenie's past as he approaches the new millenium, you won't find any seriously inspiring or enthrawling tunes (as in Many Moods of Moses) but rather you find Beenie's more hyped up side, carrying on the dancehall tradition into 2000.

I just had the pleasure of seeing Beenie Man live and I really enjoyed his performance. He sounded great. So, I HAD to own some of his music. Knowing nothing about any of his previous albums, I ran into this one. Y2K was used, and pretty inexpensive. I was impressed. I mean, the entire album isn't great, but there are a few really good tunes. Check out Boogie Down, and Feel Good for starters. Mis Angela isn't bad either. Again, not the best album I've ever heard, but a pretty good introduction to the Beenie Man. I am now a fan!

I am a Beenie fan but this album was VERY DISAPPOINTING! After The Doctor, which was an excellent album, this was pure garbage. I hope he bounces back from this one.
