Advantages: A nice mix of hard and mellow dancehall tracks Disadvantages: some of the songs on the album are older singles
...This album contains a list of tracks that will definitely get the party going. When you plug this in you'll be listening to hit after hit. Its got a nice mix that will quench the taste of any reggae & dancehall fan, whether it be hardcore dancehall or soft reggae. There are some very good guest appearances on there, like the legendary Wayne Marshall and the sexy Nina Sky. Its just one of those records where you press play and just let it go. There are no tracks you skip because they're all good songs. The only downside to the album is that not all of the songs are new. Its annoying to buy a record when you already have some of the songs on another record. They're good songs but they're not original to the album. Other than that is a great record....

Advantages: some of the best songs ever from beenie man Disadvantages: no disadvantages
...Beenie man is a great album to get, he is a good artist and he gets better everytime. Beenie man is one of the best dancehall/ reggae artist. With songs like \"hater\'s and fools\", \"ola\", \"love me now (rockwilder remix), \"girls dem sugar\", \"crazy notion\", \"original tune\", \"jamaica way\", \"love me now\", \"art and life\", \"analyze this\" \"heights of great men\", \"trus me\" these songs are some of the best songs on his album with terrific lyrics and dancehall beats, out of the 17 songs on the album these are the one that I replay the most these are the one that stand out to me. But all of the songs are good and has terrific beats. Beenie man is a must get because most of his ong are hits and could be his greatest hits ever....

..."Til Shiloh" is no short of amazing! Almost every song that is on the album is a pleasure to listen to. I would say that this is one of Buju Banton's greatest albums to date and he delivers a great selection of songs. It is a very conscious string of recordings, every song having it's own unique sound. Buju Banton has always impressed me with his unique voice, which is gruff and deep, yet maintains a melodic feel and sound. This album is very innovative and Buju has paved a way which saves dancehall from the very similar and unoriginal sounds that many dancehall artists copy in the dancehall reggae scene. Starting his career involved a very controversial song called "Boom Bye Bye", which was about gays, although in the ways of production, was a really good sounding tune. Buju has come a long way since he started his career...
