It's true they lack the more playful kind of slant on their lyrics that, say, Barrington Levy or Eek-a-mouse have (comparatively anyway), but to me it's just part and parcel of the core values of roots reggae. Good that you still liked Handsworth Revolution regardless of that though. True Democracy is definitely the next best place to go with them - brilliant songwriting, brilliant production, just a truly fantastic and well-rounded piece of work.
