"First off, I know I'm gonna catch hell for writing a bad review for this album when everyone is giving it 5 stars, but I just want people who are thinking about buying this CD to know what they will be listening too. That being said, this is not reggae. This is hip-hip from a white artist with a Caribbean/Bermuda accent, who mixes some reggae grooves into two songs (tracks 1 and 2). The rest of the CD is pretty much straight up hip-hop. Now, Collie Buddz is a talented guy, but I don't agree with people who promote him as a reggae artist. Real REGGAE music comes from artists like Lee "Scratch" Perry, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, The Wailing Souls, Culture, Mikey Dread, the Roots Radics, and Bob Marley. What I'm trying to say is that fans of real reggae music, particularly ROOTS reggae, will not enjoy this CD. Fans of hip-hop and Sean Paul crap will go crazy over it. And like I said, Collie is a talented guy, and I did find a few songs enjoyable. But come on people, this is not reggae music. In fact, this album is far from the origins of real roots reggae. So until you reviewers know your history about the genre, categorize this album where it belongs. Thank you."

"Oh my gosh! What can I say about this highly anticipated album. For all you reggae lovers, this is de wickedest riddim around. Collie Buddz has put out some great tune. If you love de fast riddim, "Mamacita" is the jam for you (my new ringtone!). "Blind to You" and "Tomorrow's Another Day" is also hottt!! The most popular tune, which has been highly publizised is "Come Around", which features Collie's debut song which he also has a music video for. I can't wait for his next music video to drop. I would love for Collie to showcase OUR beautiful country BERMUDA in the video. A great scene would be at CUP MATCH, the NON-MARINERS race, BERMUDA DAY etc. He could even take a ride on a vintage moped or something.

Anyway, all the best to Collie and Big-Up to all the Bermudian supporters!!! Buy this CD! You won't be disappointed!!!"

Collie Buddz needs to pump gas instead

"Generic modern dancehall / reggae that's been heard hundreds of times before by other talentless cookie cutter acts. Wow, I'm so impressed! With zero range in his voice, lack of singing ability, mediocre flow, tailor made radio songs and lyrics that sound like a 9 year old who had his first taste of weed after receiving a severe blow to the head, Collie Buddz is stinking up all the places he performs. It's superficial club music. The only reason people give this weak Sean Paul (he sucks as well)sounding guy half a glance is because he's a white guy performing in a very niche genre of music that is predominately black. Add the fact that he's Bermudian and anyone knows how most Bermudians will jump on any musician from the island that gets a modicum of attention just to look and feel cool (and go off about how Bermuda has supposedly been put on the map when he's still an unknown to avid music listeners around the world), no matter how bad the musician in question is at performing music.
