HA, YUH KNOW! Value for money with 22 tunes is what O'neil Bryan is giving us. The "Energy God" as he has been nicknamed have just released his second album on Greensleeves. The guest list is to say the least, impressive with no less than seven collaborations of top-a-top class. On the deejay side Buju Banton and Spragga Benz are convincing and equally convincing on the singing side is Ky-Mani Marley and Wayne Marshall.

The reply/insult to Ce'cile, Wrong application, is featured as well as the I-am-sorry duet with the same Ce'cile on the Double jeopardy riddim. To be safe a second cut on Double jeopardy, "Passa Passa", is also added. This summers super smash "Log On" stands out together with Jamaica on the Fiesta riddim but otherwise it isn't as strong as I thought it would be.

Leftovers comes to mind when I see the tracklisting. For example is "You a war" on the Blue drawers riddim included. That is a riddle to me since this tune was released on 7 inch before his first album came out and did not make it on to that. And the Shiney Gal riddim isn't exactly tearing down the walls at the Cactus nightclub at the moment either.

On the plus side is cuts on unstopable, buzz, liquid and of course Rice and Peas which clearly shows that the Elephant is one of the big boys. This is my over all impression of this album, he knows how to do it and he hints he can do it but he simply doesn't do it. Better luck next time!
