Review

This Limited Edition version includes a bonus DVD. At some indeterminate point in their now 25 year long history and with serenely inconspicuous efficiency, Birmingham's UB40 rose to a level of peerlessness as the first-family of British reggae. While they've absolutely nothing left to prove - save to those bored by their longevity - Who You Fighting For finds UB40 shouting more loudly than usual; the likelihood being - even at this autumnal stage of the band's career - that less partisan ears may be pricked by such refreshing spices as the Bhangra chorus of "Reasons" or even by more traditional summer reggae sweeteners as "Gotta Tell Someone" or the dark, philanderer-reformed ruminations of "One Woman Man". But the real reason why UB40 are raising their voices is Iraq, possibly the most upset they've been about anything since Maggie's iron grip on the keys of Number 10. While hav! ing the brass to call one tune "War Poem" - not the wisest thing to do if one wants to avoid the elicitation of disparaging comparisons with Wilfred Owen - doesn't bode well, UB40 reach for the shrewd invective on "Sins Of A Father", a well-written censure of Christian neo-Conservatism and oil lust. Sensibly, the lean skin-and-bone production and avoidance of MOR blandishments make UB40 seem meaner - and younger - than they have done in years. --Kevin MaidmentFor the Last Few Albums, the Band Often Wrote Different Elements of the Songs Separately, but for this Album, They Not Only Jammed, but Wrote the Songs Together as a Unit. By Doing this and Recording in an Open-air Style Studio Environment, the Overall Sound and Quality of the Album Really Shines Through with Ali Campbell's Voice Sounding Richer and More Soulful Than Ever Before. ''who You Fighting For?' Includes Signature Ballads, Politically Charged Lyrics, Toe-tapping Summer Reggae Tracks and Wonderful Covers, Including an Obscure Track by the Beatles. The Single 'kiss and Say Goodbye' (Originally Performed by the Manhattans) is an Infectious Balladwhich Has Already Had Good Reaction from Colin Martin at Radio 2. The Video for the Single and Eight Further Album Tracks have Been Videoed and Directed by World-renowned Director Aubrey Powell (Business Partner to Storm Thorgerson at Hipgnosis - who Jointly Created Many of the Early Floyd Cover Art). Dvd is Pal Format.
