Anthony B – Wise Man Chant Reviewed by Sadie O., 12/27/07 Roots Reggae and electronic dancehall riddims and manic (but righteous) toasts by one of the top dancehall artists. Tracks 5 and 10-15 are crazy electronic riddims – often really over the top. Vocals are ALWAYS over the top… No FCCs detected. I like 6 and 14 enormously. 1. 3:54 **(starts 5 seconds late) midtempo skank, a bit rock steady, prominent reedy keyboard, cool toast. 2. 4:04 ***nice bubble with syndrum and horns, impassioned toasting. Sudden end. 3. 4:00 ***(starts 3 seconds late) very downtempo nyahbinghi riddim, serious toast. 4. 3:56 ***downtempo, rather jaunty skank, apparently anti-name brand rant. 5. 3:43 **downtempo dancehall riddim, rather muffled drums, sad lyrics. 6. 3:58 ****nutted electronic riddim – insane sound! Another extremely abrupt ending. 7. 4:06 ***jaunty riddim with lots of electronic keyboards, duet with Yellowman, and an actual chorus. 8. 3:44 ***midtempo skank with mostly just bass and drums with occasional horns – cool sound. 9. 3:40 **downtempo skank with lots of percussion, Rasta vs. Christian lyrics. 10. 3:56 ***downtempo electronic dancehall, very sparse but pretty crazy. Just bits of riddim for last several seconds. 11. 3:55 *downtempo dancehall, duet with Sanchez, cool riddim but rather banal singing. 12. 4:02 ***odd disjointed riddim and manic preaching along the lines of track 2. 13. 4:12 **very slow dancehall. 14. 3:23 ****dance di Ragga! Bloopy dancehall riddim with almost a Reggaeton beat, tuba? 15. 3:45 ***another truly crazed riddim, Rasta lyrics. Long fade. | ||
