Our Take

Review:
The Specials are back with a bang in "More Specials," a groovy blend of ska, reggae, and punk that will have you skanking all night long. This album oozes with the band's signature wit and charm, making it a truly special addition to their discography.

From the infectious horns of "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)" to the soulful vocals of "Ghost Town," The Specials prove once again why they are legends of the British music scene. Each track is a masterclass in genre-blending, with elements of punk, new wave, and even a touch of jazz sprinkled throughout.

But it's not just the music that shines on "More Specials" - the lyrics are equally as captivating. Songs like "Man at C&A" and "International Jet Set" tackle social and political issues with a razor-sharp wit, while tracks like "Stereotype" and "Do Nothing" are pure, unadulterated fun.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The guitars are crisp, the basslines are groovy, and the percussion is tight and punchy. It's clear that The Specials have honed their craft over the years, delivering a polished and dynamic sound that is sure to please both old fans and newcomers alike.

In conclusion, "More Specials" is a triumph for The Specials, showcasing their musical prowess and songwriting skills in all their glory. So grab your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and prepare to be swept away by the infectious rhythms of this truly special album. Brava!

About the artist

The Specials

ARTIST: SPECIALS There are few bands that can claim to have single-handedly defined an entire genre, but then again, there are few bands like The Specials. Hailing from the gritty streets of Coventry, this multi-racial ska band burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s with their infectious mix of punk rock energy and Jamaican sounds. Led by the iconic frontman Terry Hall and backed by the musical genius of Jerry Dammers, The Specials quickly rose to fame with hits like "A Message to You, Rudy" and "Ghost Town". Their self-titled debut album, released in 1979, became an instant classic and set the standard for the ska revival movement that would follow. Known for their dapper suits, sharp lyrics, and infectious dance beats, The Specials were more than just a band – they were a cultural phenomenon. Their socially conscious songs tackled issues of racism, unemployment, and urban decay with wit and intensity, making them the voice of a generation. Despite numerous lineup changes and internal conflicts, The Specials have continued to tour and record over the years, proving that their music is as relevant today as it was decades ago. With their iconic sound and rebellious spirit, The Specials remain one of the most influential bands in British music history. So, if you're looking for a band that can make you dance, think, and maybe even start a revolution, look no further than The Specials. They may be older and wiser now, but their music still packs a punch – and that's what makes them truly special.
