| Review: Not content with releasing an excellent album, Mesa and Aswad have taken said album, revised it, brightened it, added assorted alternate and remix versions, tuned up all of the songs, and put it out again. It's still an excellent collection of reggae numbers, with an accent on dancehall, though the collection now sounds quite a bit more commercial and punchy. For those looking for something more on the commercial tip, but still worth airing. | |
