Synopsis

Album Description
2009 sophomore release, the follow-up to their award-winning debut album Courage to Grow, The Bright Side Of Life contains 12 new signature tracks blending their cohesive mix of Reggae, Rock, and Hip Hop influences in a calliope awash of front man Eric Rachmany's Santana-esque guitar flurries, Marley D. Williams' solid and attacking bass lines, the Psychedelic and tasteful piano, keyboard and Hammond b-3 styling of Rory Carey and the Jazz Rock fusion of Wesley Finley's finesse drumming and percussion.

CD Reviews

Great Album, Not Quite As good as Courage To Grow
R. Lynch | Bay Area, CA, USA | 08/20/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Overall the album is very decent to listen to. Yes it certainly does not match up to their first major cd, "Courage to Grow" which was an overall excellent cd. I would give that cd 6 stars out of 5 because it was perfect. If you want more of the similar guitar riffs and keyboard and reggae sound then you will definitely want this cd. I liked over half the songs throughout my first listen and I know the others will grow on me overtime. My favorite songs are #1, #2, #, #6,#8, #9, #10, #12. I do admit that the original "change the system" sounded a bit better as it had more sounds and was a bit more unique as a song. Still the new version is still good.



If you are looking for a danceable Reggae/Rock album to listen to while at the beach, friends house, a party or an event then this is it.

If you do not like rock at least a little bit then you will not like this cd as its a mixture of rock and reggae.



Keep in mind Rebelution has a new singer now. I feel he is almost as good and makes the songs just as fun to listen to. Lyrics overall don't meet the quality of "Courage to Grow" but there are still some really great songs with amazing lyrics like "moonlight" and "wake up call"



If you were expecting a totally new sound from rebelution with very different sounding rhythms and riffs, then you will be dissapointed. Bright Side of Life is like a continuation of Courage to Grow. To me that's a great thing as I loved the first cd. Also its good to mix your music in playlists anyways.

Overall I think the cd is a must buy. I think you will enjoy the new cd much better in concert when you are dancing or jammin with others to the music.



Other bands you might want to check out are elan, tribal seeds, outlaw nation, stephen marley, jah roots, ky-mani marley, tarrus riley, morgan heritage, soldiers of jah army, pepper, groundation, fiji, katchafire, and collie buddz. Also dont forget to listen to older reggae such as the gladiators, bob marley, abyssinians, don carlos, gregory isaacs, the wailers and more. Hope this review helped."
