PRAISE THIS ALBUM

""PRAISES", ISRAEL VIBRATION'S SECOND RELEASE FOR RAS RECORDS IS SURE TO BRING LIGHT INTO YOUR HEART. THIS IS THE FOLLOW-UP TO ONE OF THEIR GREATEST ALBUMS, "STRENGTH OF MY LIFE." PERSONALLY, I FEEL THAT "STRENGTH OF MY LIFE" IS A STRONGER ALBUM, BUT THIS ALBUM CONTAINS SOME OF THE BEST ISRAEL VIBRATION TUNES. THE ALBUM STARTS OF WITH "VULTURES", WHICH IS ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS ON THE ALBUM. TRUE ISRAEL VIBRATION FANS KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE OF THEIR CLASSIC SONGS, JUST LIKE "THERE IS NO END", WHICH FOLLOWS "VULTURES" ON THE ALBUM. "STRENGTH OF MY LIFE" PUT ISRAEL VIBRATION BACK ON THE REGGAE SCENE, AND "PRAISES" MADE SURE THAT THEY STAYED THERE. THIS ALBUM, LIKE THE REST OF THE ISRAEL VIBRATION ALBUMS CONTAINS STRICTLY ROOTS REGGAE IN IT'S FINEST FORM, WITH SOME ADDED INGREDIENTS. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO "JAILHOUSE ROCKING" TO HEAR WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD ISRAEL VIBRATION IN THEIR RAS RECORDS ERA, THEN THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START. REALLY, ANY OF THEIR ALBUMS IS A GOOD PLACE TO START. PICK UP THIS ALBUM. IT IS SURE WORTH THE MONEY."
