Negative Positive
Title: Very, very solid stuff
Review: I'd disagree that Dub War's debut album is any worse than its successor "Wrong Side of Beautiful". Both albums are very solid works of musical art and must be percieved as unalienable parts of the band's very small legacy (and you can really do without "Enemy Maker", which is a collection of demo versions and remixes). At the same time, the first album is probably less complex in musical texture than the second and more agressive and raw -- no ballads here like Silencer and Cry Dignity. But really go for it -- it's really worthy stuff. And yeah, some parallels can be made with Fishbone and Living Colour (not so much with Bad Brains) but it has its own distinctive style and sound.
Is the review positive or negative?
