By far their worst effort yet. Babylon is near.

"One of reggaes best new generation bands has taken a step back. After progressing with each of their first three albums I really expected some true and wonderful roots and culture, instead I got Free Up. A total decline from thier preceeding album Resistance (4 stars) and their rather simplistic, but good vibe of their first album Wake up (4 stars). I do believe the presure of the record company to hit it big into the main stream may have been their downfall. Too many remakes, too overly produced, not enough band. Come back to your roots."
Big Let Down

"After their first two cd's being such big hits, FREE UP is a big let down. Their rhythm is just not the same and their sincerity in their songs seems to have dimished somehow. I do hope that they come out with some new and better songs soon seeing as they are one of the best reggae bands today!"
