Musiq House

Next to Jamaica, the strongest market for reggae has been England, which has given us greats ranging from Aswad to Linton Kwesi Johnson to Steel Pulse. This very popular band has recorded its share of gems over the years, but all too often...tries to appeal to the pop and urban contemporary markets. True to form, Victims is very much a mixed bag. Some of the material -- including "Free the Land," the humorous yet pointed "Taxi Driver" and the hard-hitting "Gang Warfare" -- is strong. But slicker, more urban contempo-ish songs like "Soul of My Soul" and "Can't Get You (Out of My System)" are a bit more generic.
