Although best known for covers like "Red, Red Wine" and "Can't Help Falling in Love," the U.K.'s multicultural reggae collective started off as a political band, with British Top Tens like "One in Ten," about the unemployment rate in Thatcher-era England. Clearly worked up about the state of the world, they return to their roots here, armed with tight, horn-heavy compositions, such as the eloquent title track: "Sell the arms, suppress the truth/Create the fear, invent the proof/Wave the flag, don't tell the youth/Who they are fighting for."
