"Aptly titled, Getting Over the Storm (their 18th studio album) finds UK reggae/pop stalwarts UB40 aiming to prove that not even bankruptcy and internal squabbles can keep a good band down. Kicking things off with a reggae-ified cover of the Allman Brothers Band's 'Midnight Rider' confirms that original lead singer Ali Campbell has opted to sit this one out &amp;#8212; solo career and all that &amp;#8212; and that brother Duncan continues to be a good, if not great replacement. Here, they pull back from their signature politically charged numbers &amp;#8212; outside of a track like 'How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?' &amp;#8212; and focusing on covering and reinterpreting country music ditties from genre artists like George Jones and Vince Gill. Songs like 'How Will I Get Through This One,' 'If You Ever Have Forever In Mind' and  'I'm Pretty Sure That's What's Killing Me' are good, but not in a 'tour de force, let's re-introduce the band to a whole new generation with some familiar, but next level stuff'-type of way. Getting Over the Storm is disappointing in that respect, but it's good to see the band back together."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
