Twentyfourseven

The final statement from the classic lineup. Polished British reggae that revisits the political grit of their debut through a mature, sun-drenched lens.

May 4, 2008 · Rhino Records (2)

A mature and slightly weary optimism that balances easy-going rhythms with serious social reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For

The haunting callback to their debut as the original saxophone melody from Tyler drifts over the end of Rainbow Nation.

The transition into the extended dub-heavy section of Oh America! where the bass takes full command of the mix.

The crisp, clean vocal harmonies that open End of War, signaling a return to their more serious, socially conscious roots.
