They are back in the punch of the punk, metal and reggae as always with no means of rusting through age or time apart, except H.R. He does not use the "throat" as his has on mostly all of previously Bad Brains albums. He has softened so much, he sounds like he's mumbling and sorry MCA (Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys), your production sucks. The faster/slower echoisms were not needed for ROCK FOR LIGHT, which many fans compare this album to, why are the useless echos here? A ok effort overall tho'.OK, I've dissed Adam's production so what's left? Very little more. H.R. is older and softer on the vocals, check out his roots, rhyme, reggae on "Natty Dreadlocks 'pon the Mountain Top" it's cool. "Expand Your Soul" has got to be the only complete song on here, rock wise. "Universal Peace" the longest song on the album rock wise (3:04), "Roll On" reggae wise (4:04). "Pure Love" is a wasted :56 of the disc as you wait for more and it's already on the next selection. "Build A Nation" a two year old could have done the lyric arrangement for, sheez. Why bother? Also some of the tracks like "Until Kingdom Come" rock out but lyrically it does nothing for the selection. Sound like H.R. is just improvising lyrics and the beat goes on.The rest of the band are great on the music. Dr. Know gets into Vernon Reid/Eddie Van Halen modes at times, wish they'd last longer though. Darryl, Earl, WHASSUP!Glad that Bad Brains have reunioned (again-sorry I've lost count) for a 2007 EP (not LP, you can't call a 14 track/ less than 40 minutes CD an LP). H.R.'s voice softens with age. Lyric selection is still Gospel but vague (not getting the CD anywhere). Not one song out of 14 peaks 5 minutes and Adam Yauch should stick to his rugged-voice rapping with the Beasties. Yes I am glad to here them punk-out and reggae down but their metal length gems like "Re-ignition", "Soul Craft" and "God Of Love" are deeply missed here. Maybe in the next reunioned decade? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ...and the band played on *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2007* Great googa mooga can't ya hear me talking to you? This is a quality effort by old hard core lions. I recommend it and I think you will enjoy it. It is not I against I nor the ROIR Sessions but a good album in its own right. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/18146950-build-a-nation-vinyl](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/18146950-build-a-nation-vinyl) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
