Advantages: Well-produced Disadvantages: Flat and uninspiring
The Mission are a curious band in a way, still going and not only that but still going on in much the same way as in their late 80s heyday. The question, however, with every release since about 1992, has always been and continues to be: Does this new album match up to their classic albums "The First Chapter" and "Children"?

This has some great drumming and the guitar melodies are as good as ever. This carries on from the opening "Still Unbroken" about staying strong despite things going wrong in your life.
God and Guns is a bluesy ode to god and guns about a man of modest means who swears by God and Guns and with guns not in a blood thirsty ...

Just two months after the release of his excellent REVELATION TIME, Roots veteran Luciano brings together 13 tracks of older vibes on his second solid album of 2007, GOD IS GREATER THAN MAN. Compiled by producer Donville Davis, GOD IS GREATER THAN MAN is mostly a collection album with a few scattered new songs, and features Luciano lending his vibrant timbre to classic riddims from Kingston mainstays such as Duke Reid and Bunny Lee.
