I understand Super Ape is supposedly foundational and historic reggae but it's not for me, I don't say it with too many genres but reggae is legitimately one where everything sounds like the same 2 or 3 songs no matter who did it or how far apart they were. I liked Underground but that's like saying I liked Dread Lion or the title track, there's nothing really between any of them that I can discern. 2.

It's a long album. As I've said before, you really need to be in the mood to listen to reggae. And I suppose I'm never that stoned. Not that a little occasionally is a bad thing (I mean the music). But a whole album needs something. Pass the dutchie on the left hand side, please.

Good beat. But forgettable

I really don't care for the genre and this did nothing to change my mind. So much of it is kind of samey. There's decent moments and I wouldn't say it's terrible I just get fatigued of this sound very quickly. The album art is great.

Dub. Aburrido. Un 2.

Dub reggae. The first half much stronger than the second. Rating: 2.5 Playlist track: Zion's Blood Date listened: 04/09/24

For the reggae fans and dub purists. A variety of singers on some 70s Lee Scratch Perry dub and reggae. This is ok, but not really essential.

It's alright, not really my thing though. 2 stars.

I understand better now why preferably enormous amounts of weed are required to sit through albums like this in their entirety. My God, this just goes on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on.

Not available on Apple Music.

Argh why 1

A kind of hypnotic and repetitive reggae... the truth is that I've had enough of this type on the main list, it's music to get high on. The best thing is the pulp cover of the gorilla.
