anyone have these sons of jah albums

1 writngs on the wall
2 urban guerilla

Hi Rasteo

I do have Urban Guerilla and it's imho very poor compared to what they did before (like reggae hit showcase and bankrupt morality). A bit digital, a bit pop, if i remember correctly. I never had the chance to listen to writings on the wall but i think it has a good reputation.

Pluie.

What date does the albums have.I have only found the ones that are listed in the archives.Their music is great but the vocals sometimes is horrible.Do you feel the same??

Yes netfa, I agree, the lead singer seems to sing as he hear another riddim.... and sometimes it's horrible but when the riddim is so great it makes something raw still. I have bankrupt morality and burning blake, both are quite good and now i get used to the vocal style. But my favorite one from SOJ is Home to Zion. Lp version is a killer but I got the 12" also and the extended disco mash up di dance !!!

Hey Nefta! There is nuh doubt dat yu a talking bout too much sing out of tune ina dem early albums


BLESS

Hey ya'll know what is the funny part.I catch myself singing the "Ennie, minnie, minnie moe" hahahahahaha!!!The music is great!!!Keep Irie

i think writngs on the wall is from 83

Well, right, sometimes the vocals are terribly out of tune.
Check out their album called Universal Message.
It´s their best one. Seems the vocalists had some intensive rehearsal or vocal lessons.

It´s their best album and it is a killer.
