Heavily diluted Reggae of course will always score you points of the Kool kind, but Steel Pulse...nah..,anemic new wave friendly sedative;almost as dull as UB40,who also feature here.
No one dare say it.....Reggae mooziq certainly sucked balls,especially this 'Roots' stuff. Whenever Misty in Roots came on the John Peel show, a nationwide groan could be heard emanating from beneath a million duvets.
Then we have apologists like Moby telling us that the best Hardcore Punk album ever was clearly "Bad Brains"......er, except the Reggae tracks, he added????
Gladly its not all 'racist...moi(?)'....inclusive kool brownie point scoring boredom.
"Like Reggae Son?"
"You can go to the front of the queue".
Dangerous Girls and The Quads make up for it among a bit of Pub Rock funk,some truly horrible big band Jazz and Steve Gibbons' American accent.Did anyone actually buy this?
Lets not forget,the last time i said i didn't like some Reggae, I was subjected to the inevitable accusations of Racism......I might be black as far you know .After all,I'm not racist but......Hey,some of my best friends are Black.....i'm deliberately digging a deeper hole here aren't I?

Reggae sucks! Funk sucks! Grime, waste of time, crap total crap, why the hell should everyone like this shite? There's loads of other musick that sucks too, like country, Dolly Parton biggest hits, both of them, are complete and utter shite, does that make one racist too? You can't like everything, especially the shite that's in the charts, anti-music for the sheeple who bashed pots and pans like dickheads thanking drugpushing NHS who have a deadly line in vaccines.
😁
THANKS!!
Rumor has it that that Cuban guy who told Jaki Liebzeit that he must "play monotonously" also told a bunch of reggae acts that they weren't doing monotonous correctly. I saw Steel Pulse and UB40 and issued a hard pass on this one.
That same Cuban guy also instructed Klaus Dinger to frequently brush the hair out of his eyes while playing drums, told Florian Fricke to lose the 20k modular synth (in favor of piano), and urged Amon Duul II to abandon the freeform jams for tightly crafted tunes. He really got around.
