This is a solid debut that pulls some surprises out of its well-worn Rasta hat. It should not only appeal to lovers of reggae, but also to newcomers looking for a sound complimentary to sun-drenched days and apathetic social activism.

She’s the perfect Australian advocate for taking what so many other’s have done before you, but lathering it up with sex appeal and just generally doing it better.

Breakup Song is thankfully as indecipherable, unexplainable and enjoyable as Deerhoof can get.

For a band that seems to attract very mixed opinions, it will be up to the fans to decide if it is a success or not.

The World Warriors is an apt title as it finds Velociraptor stepping out from the shadow of DZ and onto the big stage in their own right, and the world sure could do with a good party right at the minute.

All hail the originality of these guys; even if you are not a dance or electronic fan, this album again forces you to respect the recipe of inventiveness from which this is made.

It’s no coincidence that the album is titled for this particular phrase as you get the feeling it was a tough few years for Sugar Army. With a record of this quality though, things should start to get significantly lighter.

There are a couple of mis-steps here, but they are probably the result of Milne being a little too ambitious on an album that’s good on first listen and keeps getting better.
