Hear the band at their Peak:
Had to jump in when I saw this was not a 5-star rated CD... This CD finds the band in 1986 at the peak of their song-writing and production talents. Blending a totally unique meld of Reggae meets dub overlaid with wonderful melodies, this CD is the one to have if you only buy one. The title track and Sing our own Song are eternal faves, but other songs like "Looking down at my reflection" and "I don't like the words" make this a can't miss CD.
Too Awesome:
"I'm gonna feast on rat..." - How funny is that!
Reality under glass:
This is the best collection of songs describing life I have found. Its truth and blunt addressing of real-world issues is refreshing and transcend time. I can't count the number of times I've been at work and contemplated the truth of "The Elevator", "All I Want To Do" or "Don't Blame Me". They really pin-point my, sometimes conflicting, emotions and feelings. This is required listening for young professionals.
Just tell it like it is, yeah:
My friends and I at Preston and Maxcy Halls at the University of South carolina rocked out on this in the mid 80s. Really upbeat tunes, including the title track, All I want to Do (albeit that once sounds a lot like the Police), Tell It Like it Is, and best of all, sing our own song. Agitpop lovers may be interested in knowing that he latter was an anthem during the anti-aparthied movement at the time. Enjoy.
Exellence for sure.:
Sure to go down on record as an all time UB40 classic album. Fan of the band or not, you will really love this.
