AMG Review of Obsession

All Music Guide

Mikey Dread continues to move away from the early Dread at the Controls dub sound, involving himself with a mixture of lover's rock and smooth low-key reggae that verges sometimes on a kind of new age mix. It's a long way from what he used to do, but it's still entertaining -- and is far easier to enjoy because the music isn't designed to turn your mind inside out.
