Review by jo on 10th December, 2007
5 stars "luvin it big time cheers THD"

Im reeeeally enjoyin this cd.I think NZ music has come such a long way.It was only a few years ago that i started to enjoy reggae,other than Uncle Bob of course.
It was my brothers band that opened my eyes to more reggae,with covering the likes of katchafire,then they went on to their own originals,so reggae became my fav,but mor the kiwi groups.
I've been lucky enuf to see THD perform twice now(livin in whangaz we don't get too many good bands like them come our ways,well not often enuf n e ways)and was blown away both times.
The last time I went to see them was in KeriKeri,they were performing with 1814 and friends of mine in Soljah.It was here that I bought THD's cd,it has'nt come out of my car stereo yet.
The only thing I was dissappointed with,was finding out that they were denied a spot at Soundsplash 08' coz they were'nt “rootsy” enuf…give me f......in break!!
THD if you get a chance to read this and if my opinion matters uz are the shit(in a good way).
My other disappointment is,is that THD isn't playing n e where close and convenient in the next couple of months.

Keep skanking that roots reggae THD!!!!
