 Rating: - Smooth pacific styled reggae - get it now!After hearing about this group through friends I had to check them out - a few expensive downloads later I had tickets to their concert and I haven't looked back since. This is a fantastic album from track one right through to the end. Smooth lyrics, matched to even smoother basslines, piercing horn sections and samples adding that extra something. If you get the chance see them live, if you don't get this album. And if you like it, even just a little bit, explore some of the other brilliant music coming out of New Zealand. Rating: - Lush!This has to be one of my most favorite albums i've bought in a long while. I like to see my taste in music as largely eclectic, i'll listen to anything once and that's what i did with this album... i knew nothing about the album or (less importantly the band) but by the time the first song "ernie" was over i knew i was going to love this album. Fat Freddy's Drop (FFD) are from New Zealand, they wrote, engineered, produced, mastered and distributed this album off their own back - with no label. which for me is quite interesting as it's a mantra that definitely fits the tone of the music. This album is defiant, smooth & groovy and beautifully performed. the style of the band is really relaxed - almost as if they've jus sat in a room with people they know and love and jammed out an album - no rushing, no edit's and no artistic restraint - jus feel good tunes that are easy to connect with this album in particular has done really well in the charts internationally with the album itself being in the NZ charts for almost a YEAR! and other tracks hitting the number one spot for months when all told nuff of my opinions - jus listen! Rating: - FFD original, smooth groovesBought this album as a friend who heard of them whilst in NZ was raving about them. I can honestly say this is the best ever album i have ever bought. The music is sssoooo original, the songs take you through a range of moods and grooves, it's just such a funky, eclectic album. Buy it...then tell your friends to buy it you will not be dissappointed!! Rating: - good roots reggae with ocassional diversion to other places i have just got this album and am listening to it as i write this review. this album is really good. well worth a listen. really well written and arranged songs. interesting lyrics good production. nice subtle and simple horn progression that sound authentic to the genre. nice mix with other sounds and fusion with other genres not normally associated with reggae. fender rhodes, moog sounding synth. funk, blues and a dance music sounding track or two (but not too heavey). good fairly soulful lead vocals and harmonies. nice arrangment of vox. well recorded. bright. clean. sweet!!! As a musician/producer and reggae fanatic. I really apreciate this well balanced, sweet sounding and soulfull reggae-ish. Nice one. Keep the tracks rolling in. :-) Rating: - one of the sweetest voices i've heard in a whilethis album is packed with soul full reggae and ska with hip hop to boot and many more influences i'm sure. my sister has been banging on about them since returning from a stint down under and i saw them at sonar in the summer where they got me hooked. this album is perfect to play when all else fails. i especially enjoy walking along to it, brings colour and confidence to every step of ur journey. if ur a fan u probably already have it if ur not a fan, u will be when u buy it! this room as a stand out tune and this album is never off my mp3 player. buy it, enjoy it, fall in love with his voice.
