"As a Pulse fan, I have accepted every artistic shift this band has gone through. They still rock live, and will always be tops. With that said, this is not one of their best offerings. It is somewhat scattered and doesn't flow as well as some other work. The dancehall seems a little forced and becomes more of a distraction than a benefit, although the message and lyrics are very positive.I did enjoy "Bootstraps," "Back To My Roots," and "Better Days," but most of the other material didn't do much for me. Vex isn't bad, I just wouldn't make it my first Steel Pulse purchase. Try True Democracy or even Smash Hits."

This is a GREAT CD

"If you like Steel Pulse, you will love VEX. The cuts are a combination of "roots" and a more modern sound. That is, the songs often incorperate elements of rap and dancehall genres with their signature "roots" sound. Truly a rewarding music from one of the best bands in the world!"
