Album Review
A pleasant chill record of roots reggae, John Brown's Body's Spirits All Around Us presents 14 densely layered tracks from the Ithaca, NY-based ensemble. Frontman Kevin Kinsella has a knack for crafting poppy vocal hooks that he skillfully embeds within the dubby grooves (such as on "33 RPM"). The real genius of the album, though, is in the syncopated wall of sound the band creates. Synths, percussion, horns, vocals, and guitars layer together to create a rich blend. One minor complaint is that, perhaps, there is not enough low end on the disc. The band shows its experimental side on cuts like the instrumental "Instrument" (perhaps the highlight of the disc) and the almost industrial-sounding "Ambrosia." On the former, the band's thick dub percolates over a hearty seven minutes, making one wish that the band would someday devote an entire disc to this sort of exploration.
Customer Reviews
Easily the best JBB album and one of the best reggae/dub albums of all time!
Easily the best JBB album and one of the best reggae/dub albums of all time with so much differnt sound you cant stop yourself from getting up and feeling the music flow through you. With great tracks including Feel, 33Rpm, Original Man, Garden Tree, Instrument, Peace in the Valley, Ambrosia well I will end up just writing every song because well they are all so good. If you don't have this album in your library, there is something wrong with you!
Solid
This is one of JBBs most solid albums. Every song on here will have you playing it over and over again. If you like JBB you will purchase thus album.
