  UB40 promises & lies
Review created: 05/10/08

I bought this album when it first came out on tape. I loved it & played it all the time which meant it got worn out as it was on tape.So I decide to buy it on cd.
Personlly i think its one of the best ub40 albums the songs are quite catchy & you'll find yourself singing along.Its not as reggae as some of their other albums but still very much in style of ub40. Quite a few of the songs on this album have been released as singles including c'est la vie & bring me your cup.
If you like ub40 then you'll love this album & its a must to all ub40 fans

  UB40 - Promises and Lies
Review created: 22/05/08

I have always been a big UB40 fan, and although this is not one of my favourite albums there are a couple of great tracks on it. My favourites are 'Bring Me Your Cup' and 'Higher Ground' as Campbell's vocals are smooth and soulful . The lyrical content is quite political on this album, but it is fair to say that of most of UB40's own compositions.

The album is great i overplayed my old copy so this one is just what the doctor ordered. Will be going to see the band in December so just topping up the old tunes. The delivery of the package was great. I would like to thank you for my album.
