A nice spooky ska number that uses ska's lazy beat, various styles of synth, a deep voiced main vocal, a great series of background vocals and, of course, horns (it's the specials after all) and gives them all appropriate attention and space to be heard, and ends up creating a pretty damn cool song that hit # 1 on the charts in Britain.
A secondary vocalist that pops in at 1:45 really seems out of place, and the song has a great chance to end at about the 4 minute mark, but the Specials don't take the offer and extend it out past its welcome.
It's no A Message to You Rudy, but it's pretty damn good.
RATING: 72.
