Iron Storm

AMG Review of Iron Storm

Alex Henderson
All Music Guide

Decent but not essential, Iron Storm falls short of the type of excellence one associates with Black Uhuru. This isn't a bad album by any means, but it's less than a listener expects from the original lineup of Don Carlos, Garth Dennis and Duckie Simpson. The CD's more memorable cuts include "Tip Of The Iceberg" (which boasts a poignant rap by distinguished guest Ice-T), the painfully honest "Bloodshed" and the moving title song. But for all its strong points, Iron Storm is a CD that only completists and the more devoted Uhuru fans should acquire. For novices, Chill Out or Red would be a better place to start.
