With his signature screechy tones and sing-chat style, Eek-a-Mouse influenced many of the younger dancehall vocalists who've emerged in his wake. This album catches Eek in his early '80s prime when the digital reggae sound was first exploding. The title track was a massive hit. Fans of conscious roots-style reggae may want to think twice before investing in this album, but lovers of classic raggamuffin will find this to be a fine addition to their collections. --Shane Hunt
