"I saw Bunny in august of 1999 and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. He promised a new cd soon. Here it is eighteen months later and I am speachless. I have been a Bunny fan for years, and I can't believe how bad this cd is. At the show he talked of his roots and getting back to them, what happened? Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of his stuff, but if you are looking for some roots reggae, keep looking. If you are looking for techno-reggae with supermario sound effects this is your bag. I'm not kidding, you will actually here mario and game sounds! May I suggest that you check out Culture's new album instead, this is by far a lot better. Thanks for listening, I hope this helps, I am still in shock. Paul"

Disappointing

"Bunny has often been described as a legend with a great voice, and criticised for inconsistent songwriting. Unfortunately, only the latter is evident in this release. Fiya Red and Reggae Converts are two very good tracks, but the rest of the album is comparable to his Marketplace album in terms of quality.Pass on Communication and buy Blackheart Man instead. Or, buy a used copy of Rootsman Skanking or Liberation. Those CDs should never have gone out of print- they are excellent. Hard to find, but they come up on the auction websites from time to time and are very well worth the effort spent finding them."
