    More than a covers album, this is a cathartic reminder of pop’s revolutionary power. [Oct 2021, p.55]

    There are great moments here, particularly a spare, powerful reworking of Talking Heads' "Listening Wind," and the participants never sound less than sincere, but coming from a band whose heritage includes "Ghost Town," "Doesn't Make It Alright," and "It's Up To You," Protest Songs 1924-2012 never quite reaches its potential.

    The Specials, once more, fashioning a compelling soundtrack to troubled times past and present.
