okay so Bad Brains are one of my favorite hardcore punk bands of all time, very influential to me as a young punk rocker, thanks in large part to the vocal stylings of this man, H.R. (Human Rights)...he has such a distinctive voice that stands out from the rest of the pack and you can tell he never holds anything back when he picks up the mic...now this solo album came out in 2008 and is quite a departure from Bad Brains style and even his older self titled solo album...i love H.R. and have much respect for the guy but i have to be honest...i don't know what the fuck hes talking about half the time on this record!...its no big surprise that this rastafarian smokes lots of weed and that while under the effects of the ganja, its possible to not make a whole lot of sense when you speak, but this is ridiculous...just listen to the title track to this record and you'll know exactly what i mean....H.R., with all due respect, i don't know what the hell you're smoking man, but chill out on that shit for awhile, its having a negative effect on your music...with that being said, i still think this record is worth a spin or two...its not the greatest offering from a living hardcore legend but check it out anyway and have yourself a "soul reggae hip hop rub a dub luv" good time
