Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2008 release, the band's final recording with former member and lead singer Ali Campbell. Twentyfourseven represents UB40 at their creative and musical best which takes strength and inspiration from their political and social conscience, arguably producing one of their finest albums to date of original material, cover versions and collaborations. This new album features seventeen tracks with collaborations from Maxi Priest, 1 Love & Rasa Don from Arrested Development, Marvin Priest and Hunterz. The album was recorded in Birmingham, London, Sweden, New York and Fayetteville, Georgia. Reflex Records. 2008.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ali Campbell's Last Album with his group UB40, July 19, 2008
By Bill Anthony "billjbfan" (North Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The shocking announcement in early 2008 that Ali Campbell was departing UB40 after 30 years leaves the group's future in serious doubt. This album was already completed at that time, and had been delayed by the group to allow Ali's great 2007 solo album to run it's course.
It seems very likely after listening to TWENTYFOURSEVEN that the group made some additions to the album in an attempt to prepare fans for "UB40 without Ali Campbell". Of the 17 tracks, 5 songs feature other group members, 3 feature guest artists, and 1 features new recruit Duncan Campbell.

However, that leaves 8 tracks with Ali on lead vocal, and they are all classic UB40, making this album essential. (Ali Campbell lead vocals: End Of War, Lost And Found, This Is How It Is, Rainbow Nation, Once Around, Instant Radical Change Of Perception, I'll Be There, Middle Of The Night)
TWENTYFOURSEVEN is an awkward-but-enjoyable farewell to the UB40 many of us have adored for most of 3 decades.

note:
UB40's previous album, Who You Fighting For, was possibly their best ever.
Don't miss that one or Ali's solo album Running Free. Both albums are powerful, fun, and musically compelling reggae.

5.0 out of 5 stars UB 40- More than "Red, Red, Wine", August 18, 2008
This CD is fantastic! The arrangements are great- and it definitely reminds me of their original sound!
I sure hope this CD gets play in the US! The Lads definitely deserve it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best UB40 album in decades, August 4, 2008
By Cyborg (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
UB40 have consistenly put out solid material, even years after their popularity peaked with Promises and Lies. But finally 2008 gives us an album that tops their past successes. Twentyfourseven showcases UB40's best songwriting on any of their many albums. Ali's trademark vocals have never shown as much dynamic range as they do on this album. Rainbow Nation is the brilliantly-written sequel to 1980's Tyler, and is perhaps the best song on the album. Although it could be argued that The Road is the best, as Norman Hassan outdoes himself with an impressive vocal delivery. There are two well-done Astro songs as well. The music is just as impressive as the songwriting, with superior bass-lines and a horn section that reminds us of UB40's youth. The drumming and percussion have never been tighter. There are a few collaborations with Maxi Priest and a couple covers, but it is the original UB40 material on this album that really impress. Twentyfourseven could possibly bring UB40 back to the top of American music charts, as this work clearly surpasses Labour of Love II.
