 Generous, but goes south quickly |
| I've recently taken a big dive into the reggae waters... buying various discs trying to discover the incredible talent found down in Jamaica. These Hip-O "Ultimate Collection" discs are packed with songs and seem a good way to sample some respected bands. This is my first Third World CD and I have to say that if I investigate further it will be with their early albums. This collection takes a bigtime dive into cheesy, 80's sounding reggae about halfway through. Compare this to the Black Uhuru or Dillinger Hip-O comps and it's a bit disappointing. I LOVE roots reggae and older authentic sounds like Toots and the Maytals. This CD just seems to take a path away from strong reggae sounds that I enjoy. Not bad, but not perfect. |
 Yes, Mon, Yes! |
| This whole CD is absolutely wicked! I urge everyone, familiar with Third World or not, to give this a listen. Believe me it has something to offer you whether you're a reggae fan or not. If you're not already a fan, this may very well convert you. Please do yourself a favor and give it a listen! There isn't enough room here to discuss the wonderful experience that listening to the stellar tunes included in this CD will allow you. Third World are truly Reggae Ambassadors and this CD is truly the Ultimate Collection! |
