Review by P.M. Apr 10, 2004
Awesome release from The Bug who has really taken a chainsaw to the whole Ragga/dancehall ting of late. Cutty rewrote his early hit 'gunman lyric' for this & together they have created a visceral monster to scare your neighbors with.

One for the ladies...NOT! :b
Rated 5/5
Review by the_cosmic_funkonaut Dec 19, 2003
This track is musically what i would call Industrial Electro Ragga Dancehall. I think whoever listed it incorectly referred to it as gabba. Its not. The tempo is a 102bpm ragga dancehall style but coming from a noisy sonic leftfield electronic approach. It fuses all styles together masterfully, with lots of subtle changes and effects. Cutty Ranks (One of Jamaicas oldest and best Hardcore Ragga MCs) adds a brilliant ragga vocal about 'Gun Disease'. The flip has the tough instrumental A great cross genre record.
