Seconds.. .. ..Suffused in gritty urban poetry, a sense of humor, a surprising respect for hard rock (Rancid and Clash covers, not to mention a whole song based on a loop of Black Sabbath's "The Wizard"), and a deeply rooted sense of spirituality, records such as Dr. Israel's late-'98 Inna City Pressure rise above the base elements of today's stoned-slow reggae, melody-deficient hip hop, songless electronica, and crotch-grabbing Korn-metal. ..– ..Village Voice.. .. ..Of special notice is a truly ragga remake of "Armagideon Time,"…It's safe to say, with the improved production, that this may just be better than the original. ..– ..MTV.com.. .. ..Did you ever wonder what it would be like to take the best portions of virtually every music genre, throw ‘em in a big cauldron and stir?
