"Well, who would have thought that Lee Perry, at 64, would return to the mixing desk and put out one of his best albums since he torched the Black Ark in '79? Here it is anyway, one echo-drenched ex-Perry-ment, with The Upsetter delivering stream of concsiousness-vocals over some really dread riddims, ranging from drum and bass to serious roots. Highlights include the title track, loosely based on "Punky Reggae Party", the deep, rootsy "Black Buster" and the funky sing-a-long "My name is!". And ahh, his attack on Puff Daddy in "Daddy Puff" ("...' im a only a bluff"). Gotta love it."
