Must Have For Any Real HR/Bad Brains Fan

The Bad Brains could go from 60 to 0 in the space between tracks, and when they slowed it down they showed they could do dub as well as hardcore. This album is no exception-dark, moody, beautiful, and not strictly dub/reggae, as it also reveals a little bit of the Hudson brothers (rumored) roots in jazzrock/fusion. The highlight for me is Life After Death, a rock/rap/reggae fusion piece well ahead of it's time. For those Bad Brains fans who have not yet discovered HR's other project, this is the one to start with. Highly recommended.
