 (2 Customer Reviews)
In Europe, Sizzla's Waterhouse Redemption hit the shelves a mere month after Ain't Gonna See Us Fall. The U.S. release stretched it to nearly three months, but either way, it plays right into the hands of the man's detractors, a growing group that point to his lack of quality control, his increasing love of bling, and his frequent dropping of the F-bomb, which doesn't seem to gel with his righteous Bobo Ashanti stance. They'll have a hard time picking apart this album since Waterhouse Redemption bounces between revolution numbers and lover's dancehall effortlessly, utilizing some classic riddims from King Jammy's studio along the way. Longtime reggae lovers should start with "Someone Loves You," an instantly infectious, swaggering tune that uses the classic "Sleng Teng" riddim. Sweeter still is the update of Ken Boothe's "Without Love," here redone as "Let Me Love You," which brings the vigorous singer down to a cooler Anthony B. level. The hope-filled "Commandment" is the album's great call to Jah while "Stay Above" and "Play Me Some Music" -- which ingeniously works a duck call into its hook -- supply the eye-level views of the streets and struggles of Jamaica. A better flow to the album would make this one his best, but for fans who found Ain't Gonna See Us Fall too slick, too Babylon, Waterhouse Redemption is an exciting return to form. ~ David Jeffries

| | Capleton Reign Of Fire CD (2004)
Waterhouse Redemption CD music
$11.39
Offering a satisfying set of righteous reggae that is more laid-back than usual, Capleton once again combines roots grooves with the computerized sounds of the time on Reign of Fire. Known as "the Prophet" on his island home of Jamaica, Capleton pulls the music back here, but his lyrics are still rebellious darts, mostly directed toward the powers that be and the irresponsible. Warning of the cleansing fire, Capleton calls out the oppressors on "That Day Will Come" and eagerly awaits the day "the wicked men will have nowhere to run." It's a powerful track, matched in intensity by "Wise Up People," "Who Yuh Callin' Nigga," and the fantastic "Or Wah," which is just about the catchiest prophecy of fire and brimstone the man has ever released. "Real Hot" and "In Her Heart" -- which utilizes the slick ...
| | Sizzla Soul Deep CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Waterhouse Redemption music CDs
$15.09
Sizzla partners with slick producer Donovan "Vendetta" Bennett for Soul Deep, arguably the softest Sizzla album to date. Fans who prefer the revolutionary Bobo Dread at his fiercest are going to point to this as another case of Sizzla overextending himself and glutting the market with substandard material, but there's a case to be made for the album's comfortable feeling and the cool way the singer presents himself as a balladeer. Not that the man hasn't sung a sweet song before, but Soul Deep is filled ...

| | Sizzla The Over Standing CD (2006)
Waterhouse Redemption CD music
$14.59
In many ways, The Overstanding is a traditional dancehall -- or at least a traditional Sizzla -- album. Bouncing between revolution ragga and sweet lovers rock and featuring a mix of new and old, this 2006 effort is a lot like the man's early full-lengths in shape and form, but it's on Damon Dash's new label and benefits from the extra money being thrown around. Recent Jamaican hits like "Solid as a Rock" and "Thank You Mama" get re-recordings that fatten the sound, while touches of polish from the hip-hop and R&B world broaden the spectrum, making The Overstanding an easy, yet not fully representative, entry into the world of Sizzla. The uplifting "Break Free" -- a completely different song from the "Break Free" found on 1999's Royal Son of Ethiopia -- is sure to put a smile on the face, while the opening "Take Myself Away" comes at the same issue from the other side as Sizzla looks for freedom in an unforgiving, ...

Waterhouse Redemption music CDs
$10.69 
This Collectables reissue features two Mose Allison albums, from 1971 and 1972 respectively. On WESTERN MAN, Allison interprets Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" with deference. His rendition is warm and delicate, and seeks only to illuminate the beauty of Ellington's melody, allowing the song to swing beautifully.
On the other hand, Allison's original tune "Powerhouse," ...
| | 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Joan Armatrading CD (2000)
Waterhouse Redemption songs
$8.09
Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (Universal Mastering Studios-West).
This is part of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series.
The Joan Armatrading entry in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection is a reduction of the 1996 Greatest Hits set, containing 12 of its predecessor's 19 tracks. Concentrating on the 1975-1983 period of the singer/songwriter's career and culling tracks from six of her 13 studio albums for A&M Records (plus one song from an EP), the retrospective is faced with the challenge of integrating Armatrading's stylistic shifts during the period. Her '70s albums, produced by Gus Dudgeon and Glyn Johns, were folk-pop efforts that brought her a fervent cult following, but in the '80s she turned to more rock-oriented producers Richard Gottehrer and Steve Lillywhite, and made records that reflected the influence of new wave music. Compilation producer Mike Ragogna deals with this by sequencing the material in roughly reverse ...
| | Hepcat Push 'N Shove CDs (2000)
Waterhouse Redemption album
$9.59
Falling more between the sound of ska pioneers The Skatalites and the 1980s U.K. Two-Tone movement rather than the hybridized sound of third wavers No Doubt and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, L.A. natives Hepcat conjure up all sorts of rootsy purity on their fourth album. Like legendary session guitarist Ernest Ranglin, this septet displays an impressive range that covers many of Jamaica's musical shifts.
With the punchy, out-in-front drumming punctuated ...
