Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

If ever there was a time for Skindred's Babylon, it's now. With nu-metal breaking down any remaining barriers between pop, rock, rap, metal and punk, there's surely a place for a band who can convincingly add reggae to the mix. That's Skindred's tip. Rising from the ashes of the virulently political Dub War, they've toned down the rhetoric and introduced a massive and infectious positivity, thereby raising themselves to a far higher level. This is not to say Babylon lacks intensity or pain. Singer Benji appeared on Soulfly's debut album and, here, "Bruises" reflects Max Cavalera's outraged roar, "Kiss and Make Up" deals with domestic violence, while the title track's anti-police shriek and pounding metal recalls Rage Against the Machine. But, mostly, this is fun, with "Pressure", "Selector" and "Nobody" all being Skindred-gonna-getcha boasts. Yet this is not simple, bounce-along punk. Just as Cavalera cunningly mixes metal with Brazilian chants and roots rhythms, so Skindred employ reggae's sweet melodies, deep bass and complex, intertwining vocals to create a new and compelling music. "The Fear" even nods to earlier reggae-fans the Clash by rewriting their "London Calling". A real step forward. --Dominic Wills


Album Description

Hailing from South Wales, Skindred is a four-piece heavy rock n' reggae outfit founded by eclectic, energetic vocalist Benji Webbe and fellow bassist-programmer, Daniel Pugsley. "Skindred is dancehall; it's punk; it's metal, it's who we are," Pugsley proclaims. It's a cohesive nether-region where Bounty Killa meets the Police - where 311 and System Of A Down collide. From the drum & bass album opener "Set It Off" to the metalized toasting on the title track "Babylon," Skindred's reggae-fied metal, dreadhead dub is a musical sucker-punch to the ribs. The first single from Babylon, "Nobody," is a genre-bending, high-octane hybrid of dancehall and metal that is sure to transport rock fans to a higher level of consciousness. Whatever you call it, Skindred is making rock music exciting again.

5.0 out of 5 stars ヤバイ!!, 2004/9/10
元DUBWARのベンジを筆頭に相変わらず攻撃的レゲエミクスチャーを
さらに聴きやすくしたような最高のアルバムです!!
ギター、ベース音ともにゴリゴリだけど、なぜか癒されるボーカルの声といい
どれをとっても他のバンドにはない独創的なバンドです!!
絶対にオススメできる一枚です!!
他のアルバムと曲はかぶっていますが微妙なイントロがついたりして

全部買ってもちょっとした違いが楽しめます!!
夏がSUBLIMEでまったりなら、冬はSKINDREDで暑くなれます♪

5.0 out of 5 stars やられたっ!, 2006/2/6
By kurt-cobain (東京都) - See all my reviews
いや〜鳥肌たちっぱなしです!ハードなミクスチャーにレゲエのエッセンスを加えた事によってパーティーチューンと化し、襲いかかる音はまさにアゲアゲ(この言葉はあまり使いたくなかった・・・)
ひとまず夏になったら真っ先に聴きたくなる予感がします。
