This album blows away their first attempt of a comeback. Guilty is a worthy predesessor to your vintage Specials albums. If the second comeback is that much better than the first, I'm afraid the third could by right on track.

had this been anyone other than the specials, i wouldn't have disliked it as much -- they have evolved musically, but unfortunately i don't care for the route they have taken... unlike bad manners, another band of the 2-tone era, the specials have deviated from their original sound... this is a good recording for someone who doesn't mind the change, but not for me.. they do have some bonus tracks of older songs performed live -- that's a treat... whatever.

Most people don't seem to know about this gem of an album but a gem it is! Every song rocks!

This is really a great album. Yeah, it's different than the old stuff, but it's still solid.

it's a quite good CD, but it isn't gonna make history. its a CD tou have to have if you are a fan of the Especials or you have a great collection of ska CD's. But defenetly it's not an esencial
