Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 8/17/00, p.113
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Combines growly, spitfire-patois dance hall...acoustic guitars and sighing choruses...straight old-school ska...and anthemic folk rock....an album full of political and philisophical searching..."Spin - 9/00, p.189
7 out of 10 - "...Further broadens his domain - from the levitical ska and the compu-pumped 'unda-wata' riddims...to a cotton-mouthed redemption song with Rancid..."Q - 9/00, p.96
4 stars out of 5 - "...Represents a textbook lesson on how life can be breathed into a seemingly moribund genre [reggae]....Banton repositions reggae while using his rumbling, 40-spliffs-a-day vocals to project a message of peace and love to all..."CMJ - 8/21/00, p.22
"...proves his dominance, extending his trademark toasting skills into the realms of rock steady, ska, gospel, African high life and American soul..."NME (Magazine) - 9/4/00, p.34
