Take warning... "I hate reggae music, I hate it" Amen to that Billy Waldman. Though this isn't reggae, it's a derivative. Ska or you might be able to think about this as 'punk reggae', maybe? I can deal with the punk and I can handle a little bit of reggae so, for the most part this was fine. In the 70s when this was released, I can plainly see how groundbreaking this was. Fast forward to the late 80's / early 90's when we were all listening to OpIvy and discovering The Pietasters and The Toasters, we were completely in love with this stuff and now we're going back to the source of truth. The Specials who started a lot of what was so amazing is really unique and I like things that are unique... errr, a conformity of uniqueness.
