Rating:

A mix of funk, soul, and R&B with a pinch of world music, this group initially attempts to be far too eclectic for its own good. "This is great music/This is classical music," announces the introductory &"Rodigan State Address" before moving into &"Rebel Rouser." The song has a mix of dub reggae and African tribal rhythms in it, but the vocal delivery does little to heighten the song. Its length is also a cause for concern, as the song is too monotonous over almost seven minutes. &"Dub in the Kalamegdan" is a bit more adventurous with more of a pop flavoring. The tune doesn't do the arrangement justice though, as it again seem to be far too deliberate and uninspired. When the band decides on a slightly more up-tempo groove à la the Police or even the Clash, it works very well. &"Johnny Go to New York" is such an example, as the bassline propels the song. &"Back to the Matter" is another strong song with an infectious beat and singalong chorus. The African rhythms and patterns on &"Eloween Deowen" recall Paul Simon's Graceland album; it's also the album's most relaxing song with its subtle percussion and arrangements. The quality of the album evolves after some initial flubs, but by the time &"Santa Monica" finishes its chorus, most listeners will be swaying to the melody. The highlight of the record is &"Natural Right (Rude Bwoy)," similar in its tone and tempo to &"Guns of Brixton" from the Clash. Jason MacNeil, Rovi
