"I was very upset to see people who dont even like reggae come on here and rate Dread Ashanti... Dread Ashanti is a band from Hawaii that is unfortunetly no longer together. Those who havent heard the whole album "Beauty of the Sea" and "rising" are missing out on this bands sweet riddum and Poppa D's lovely vocals mixed with the right amount of everything...Fans of modern reggae with a rootsy sound such as Midnite, JBB, and Mystic Roots, should definitly consider Dread Ashanti as their next buy... Although Dread may be a hard find if you are located anywhere but Hawaii, SEARCH FOR IT!! Listening to this album will give people who dont live in Hawaii a taste of it. This is the kind of reggae that seems to be popular in bands starting out in our local scene. While listening to this CD imagine a bunch of people packed into a little place, skanking their hearts out, ah... the local party scene....Get this CD and see for your self..."

I may be biased, but...

"Aloha and right on to the very positive review above (01-23-2003)! It is great to hear such kind and Poppa-D-Positive words about the truly good ol' days. Let us just hope-Jah Guide-that we will soon be packed once again like sardines into Anna's, roots music moving until they shut us down. Inside ram, outside empty! In the meantime, keep an ear to the floor for a live release that hopefully will be coming soon. Anyone seen Ital?

"Having only heard the previews, it sounds like great reggae. However, the real reason I'm rating this as five is because two people have rated it stupidly and put its rating down."
