Reviews“'BLM' sees Golding conversationally reciting experiences of racism over a funk groove, while 'The Life And Times (Of A Man Called Depression)' sees Hall deliver a brilliantly poetic, soul-baring monologue about mental illness...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "These are tracks cutting deep into the malignant tumours of society, out to heal them by brutal, frank exposure.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The cover is the best sort of revival: old meeting new on equal footing, using the past as a springboard to an improved, remixed future.", "It’s a ruthlessly entertaining, hugely outspoken, inspired and inspiring experience, one that doffs its cap to those iconic opening statements while remaining resolutely rooted in 2019.", "The Specials sound is more The Coup than the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It’s danceable, sure, but there’s a sinister edge, and the album spans more than just your classic ska and reggae beats."
Additional InformationReuniting with Terry Hall, the Specials make their first album of original material since the early '80s.

  • Excellent album and if thats not enough their is another disc of the Specials live

    The first 2 tracks are rather funky, and still very political and then you get the music which every one would associate with Terry Hall, Two tone Ska with a political message, also their is a cover of The lunatics are taking over the Asylum with a new twist . This is a great album, and if thats not enough, it come with another disc of the Specials live.😊

  • The Specials Encore

    Ok I have quite an obsessive 2 Tone era music collection. Ghost Town was my first decent 7" purchase. Encore has some great new tracks. Current themes and issues relevant to today. They at least tap into my concerns. Tory not my story. Some great SKA sounds as well as continued Musak experimentation reminiscent than More Specials. I already prefer this to In The Studio. Gutted that my local gig sold out. Old and new go to it!

  • Wow! A gem of an album.

    Wow, How did I miss this one when it was released. Thankfully I have been enlightened. A wonderful collection of old and new songs from one off the most gifted groups from the last 50 years. Terry Hall what a man, long may he live on in our memories. If you don't enjoy these tracks you must be dead from the neck up.

  • A 'Specials' comeback!

    Normal cd price. Great new tracks on the album and a disc of live versions of their 70's and 80's classics. It was worth about 40 years of The Specials for this release. Still doing well in the charts and of course The Specials only Number 1 album in the official albums chart.
