BEST CULTURE CD

Samantha T. Rood | Virginia | 04/28/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This has got to be the one of the best albums ever produced by Culture. If you like reggae, then you must try this cd! You will love every single song on it! Culture is one of the best reggae bands, ever. They put so much meaning behind their music and lyrics. "Culture In Culture" is an extremely powerful cd. There isn't one song on it that doesn't get you moving. :)"

Decent middle-period release

"In the '80s there sometimes was no escaping that thumping, mechanized, ugly drum sound, even in reggae. "Culture in Culture" a decent release from the great reggae group Culture's mediocre middle period, is nowhere near its best but neither is it the worst effort, occasionally rising above the drum sound and an extremely slow beginning. The second track, "Capture Rasta" is dancehall reggae, which I hate. The disc rights itself, though, with serviceable but not revelatory songs such as "This Way", "Step Along" and "Praise Him". "Soon Come," the next-to-last song, finally ups the ante with a distinctive, very strong tune about South Africa. Overall, average is the byword, worth having but not essential."
