This band has influenced so many artists it's really not fathomable. They broke down racial barriers and played with so much intensity there was no way they could be ignored.
When the album was released in 1982, fans and critics alike were stunned to learn that the musicians behind this album � one of the fastest albums of all time upon its release � were African-American Rastafarians who also were skilled at reggae.
The album was a crucial step in the formation of hardcore punk and the eventual fusion of hard rock and reggae adopted later by bands like Sublime, Fishbone, and 311. Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys was quoted as saying that this album is "the best punk/hardcore album of all time"
In 2008, the track "Right Brigade" was featured on the hardcore radio station in the video game Grand Theft Auto 4 and was included on its soundtrack. No Billboard numbers to speak of here�.. Just play it really loud.
