Deeder Zaman aka Rebel Uprising // Pride of the Underdog
I would summarise it in great detail as a reggae/dub album that never really gets started.
Release Date: 5th March 2012
Deeder Zaman aka Rebel Uprising – Pride of the Underdog (Modulor – United Sound GmbH)
Always suspicious of a long name, I was dubious whether I would warm to this album. Some may say this is prejudice but I defend my approach wholeheartedly as this represents my gut instinct. Was my gut right? I think so; I have listened to it several times and whilst it is not offensive it still remains boring. I would summarise it in great detail as a reggae/dub album that never really gets started. It’s essentially the sort of non-offensive background music you would normally find either in a strange house party where there are many dreadlocked people engrossed in dancing like they are being chased by a bar of soap, or in a trendy pretentious café bar which is equally, if not even more, shit. Why can’t anyone make bloody great reggae music like Shaggy used to? I’m joking of course but what ever seriously happened to him though? Mr lover lover is all but a distant memory. Sadly for Deer Zaman aka Rebel Uprising though I don’t ever think he’s going to be any sort of memory. This album is forgettable at best. And his name is ridiculous.
5/10 (aka indifferent) Tommy dog
