A decent album from a new school young upstart, particularly the tracks ''Spanish Town Rockin’”, “Selassie Children'', ''Legend'', ''Skankin' Sweet'', “Smile Jamaica” and ''I Can''. He is part of the ''reggae revival'' movement. His music sounds like it would be very engaging in a live setting either club or festival. It has a more organic sound to the modern dancehall, which is dominated by synthesizers. Chronixx performs with a live band, and this album may be cast aside as pretentious work paying homage to a bygone era from a youngster, but it has resulted from a newer interest in reggae thanks to the likes of Skip Marley and Hollie Cook. This album proves there is still some good quality reggae coming out of Jamaica.
