Buju Banton
No More Misty Days (feat. Rancid)
Album: Unchained Spirit
Genres: Reggae
This one sure won’t make you misty: Buju and Rancid team up, but fall down on some reggae gone awry. |

It must have seemed like such a good idea to pair dancehall chatter Buju Banton with his reggae-loving labelmates, Rancid, whose punk is colored by a Clashlike fascination with island music. But what works on paper doesn’t always on wax, and the fault is usually a subpar tune, as is the case here. It’s a guitar-driven groove not too dissimilar from the one featured on Rancid’s ’98 collaboration with Brooklyn Rastaman Dr. Israel, but the blend of mildly distorted riff and dancehall drum machine just sounds cheesy this time out, and the combination of Banton’s low rumble and Rancid singer Tim Armstrong’s rasp isn’t a match made in heaven, either. The main problem, though, is that the singsong melody quickly wears thin, leaving you little to do except look to the lyric -- which, though pleasantly positive, waters down the incisive style Banton displayed on hits like “Murderer.” A disappointment.

This song is good. Not sure what the other guy was looking at. He sat there and pulled the dong apart. Its not about sounding good. Its how the song makes u feel. And man i feel good. So I think it was Dan LeRoy has to pull his head out of his ass and listen to the song one more time. Great song.
