They've been around since the late 1970's and were one of the first true punk bands. This is there 9th studio release and the first in five years. More than anything, I can else say, it's really interesting. I realize that sort of sounds like "damned with feint praise", but I really mean it in the best possible way. This is an all-black, Rastafarian band, from Washington, DC, playing angry white-boy punk with great reggae beats behind it and outstanding musicality. Bad Brains – Youth of Today bounces from punk to arena rock to reggae and back again. Jane,s Addiction would be proud of Earnest Love. Maybe a Joyful Noise is a sweet reggae number and Mca Dub could come from a trip hop era (of which DC has their fair share.)
All in all, I'm higher on the disc the the average critic, especially as a background sound to a long drive.
