One of the kingpins of Jamaican reggae music, Banton delivers his most musically audacious work to date. This 2009 album unites Buju's vocals with organic Roots Reggae rhythms carefully crafted by a select aggregation of Kingston, Jamaica's finest musicians. His 1992 debut Mr. Mention earned him more #1 singles than any other Jamaican artist, including Bob Marley, and his 1995 Grammy-nominated Til Shiloh remains one of the best-selling Reggae albums of all time.

Buju Banton "Mellow Mood" FRESH Music
I thought the same as other's on here "not the same agressive Buju"but trust me this set will grow on you,maybe not now but in the future you may well be saying "Why didn't I get this when it first came out".Having heard some tracks on the radio it just grow on me.Purchased a copy for under a fiver,played from start to finish,no need to skip tracks,as every track a bomb,sounds even sweeter when picking up "bass lines" on a good Hi-Fi.Not the usual popular rythms,means Buju is being creative and moving on to higher heights.Worth the full asking price,not many cds I come across that I can play from start to finish with out skipping duff/filler tracks.10/10 ;o)

buju just gets better and better
buju just gets better and better way back in 1995 when he dropped Til Shiloh he made a statement that he will no longer rhyme about gun lyrics and since 1995 he has not. and he has grown and with tracks from til i'm laid to rest and hills and valleys also mirror on the wall i could go on and on every album since 1995 has quality in hes tracks that year after year they still will get air play this album proves that sit back and press play

I guess the title gives an indication - this is nothing like his usual stuff - kind of dissapointing :-(
