Ska music review Chelsea still going strong!
After a series of dismal, uninspired albums in the mid 80's, Chelsea comes back with their best album ever. The Alternative is a complete album in every sense. Pure punk melody and power shines thru on all the tracks. The lyrics are great too. Guaranteed this will not leave your player for weeks and you'll be humming the tunes day in and day out. For all those who gave up on Chelsea after '82, this is a must have. It simply blows away everything they have ever done. That's saying a lot considering their late 70's albums were masterpieces themselves.

Ska music review High Quality CD
Its a very good CD. The production is very clean and of high quality. It's a nice price. In my opinion it has the best version of (Don't) Rock My Boat. All songs are done extremely well.

Ska music review splendid
The late 60's and the 1970's were periods of great growth in Jamaican music. Rocksteady gave way to reggae, and from reggae sprung dub and dancehall. While reggae made it harder for the ska, rude boy, and rocksteady veterans to have studio time to perfect their art, many survived and contined to put out quality music.

Alton Ellis was certainly no exception to this rule, as this compilation of tunes from 68-78 clearly shows. Ellis' beautiful, soulful tenor was a welcome voice on radio all through these years, continuing his tradition of covering American r&b tunes in his fashion, as well as penning increasingly socially conscious and spiritual music that showed the reggae consciousness in it.

Sadly missing from this fine collection were Ellis' 2 major hits of the early 70's, "Deliver Us," and the reggae/Marcus Garvey inspired "Back To Africa." Despite this, the cd beautifully illustrates Ellis' growth both as a person, and as a musician.

The covers are there- including the Isley brothers' funky "It's Your Thing," the Crewcuts'good time "Sh-Boom," and the beautiful "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Wanna Be Right."

But it's Ellis'growing consciousness that permeates this period, as the moving "Rhodesia," the blatent "Rasta Spirit," "African Descent," and "Black Man's Pride," clearly show.

The combination of these 2 seperate but very equal sides of Ellis makes for a fantastic album, and I'm glad it was done. Ellis' canon is too broad and too beautiful to limit to just a few lp's of the "best of" variety. Hopefully one day, a box set will emerge tying all of his music together; until then, any fan of Alton Ellis needs to add this cd overlooking this critical period of music to their collection.

Ska music review Perfect CD for a car ride
I don't sing too much, but I find myself singing to this CD everytime it's in my car. The first half of the disc is a bit slow, but the second half is great!

    Ska music reivew Only for the true planet smashers fan
    This by far the worst album by the planet smashers. The only good songs on here are change and my decision. If you aren't a huge planet smashers fan don't get this album. If you want a planet smashers album but aren't a completly dedicated fan then get life of the party, no self control, or mighty. I think their first album falls into this category even though it surpasses this album by far.

    Ska music reivew Un album � d�couvrir
    "Attack Of The Planet Smashers" est un tr�s bon cd mais qui vous prendra beaucoup d'�coute avant de l'appr�cier � sa juste valeur.

    Le son est moin mature que dans leur excellent Life Of The Party, mais il reste toujours tr�s agr�able � l'oreille et vous donnera �norm�ment de plaisirs.

    Les meilleurs chansons sont pour ma part "Cooler Than You" et "Get Out My baby".

    Ska music review Justin Davis is a Liar!
    If Justin Davis meant "most fun" by saying that this is the worst Planet Smashers cd, then he would be correct and I could forgive him. If you like songs about hot lesbian girlfriends, hockey, riding the bus or the repo man, then it would be very beneficial for you to pick this up. It will provide hours of unselfconscious dance fun!
