Rated 6/10

This must be about the chillest album on the 1001+. Easy to put on, great Saturday afternoon music, saxophone is excellent. Some songs like Madame Medusa just run a little long with parts that don’t have much going on. But it goes into the summertime rotation.

Rated 6/10

I gotta say, I was shocked at how much i actually enjoyed Signing Off. I guess it could just be the fact that my expectations were at an all time low considering i had to listen to Muddy Waters yesterday but this album shockingly was pretty enjoyable. Granted, it is a rather long album with Madam Medusa especially contributing to that length but i still think that the music here was good and could be pretty interesting at points. The same goes for the lyrics which seem to focus on racism and black culture which makes sense for a genre like this but they still were pretty good. I wouldn't say its a perfect album but it did what it set out to do rather well.
Best Song: Madam Medusa
Worst Song: 25%

Rated 4/10

My thoughts can be summed up by a photo of a cat with wide eyes and ears flattened back.

Rated 8/10

I'm a newbie with dub but I love everything I've heard. This is very cool. It has a bit more structure and traditional musicality than most dub I've heard. Plus I love the themes of worker rights and government corruption.

Rated 6/10

Better than expected!
