Bassline anyway.

The middle eight bits are exemplary. And this authentic lite dub reggae bit.

| Over. Outstanding from start to finish. Heard it perhaps more times than any other album but my love for it never wears off after 40ish years of knowing it. I don't think I need to announce my score. |

| Not really what I was expecting at all.
Too early-'80s jazz-funk and latin pop for my tastes, but it perked up with the last two tracks.
It was nice to hear DYRWTHM after all these years.
I guess that they were still finding their feet and identity at this point.
Sometimes first albums are like this - you can literally hear the band metamorphosing from track A to Z.
