Even if this wasn't a debut full-length release (which it is), Skindred's Babylon is virtually impressive in nearly every sense of the word. Nu metal and reggae have never sounded each other so well in one album, and Benji Webbe and company excel whenever it comes down to bodacious melodies. The only glaring issue revolves around the interludes: while not without flavor, they sometimes interrupt the overall pace of the recording.

A pretty enjoyable metal album w/ a very unique reggae twist that makes that record stand out amongst other metal sounds, especially those of the nu-metal variety. Still could use some fine tuning, but a great listen nonetheless.

Sometimes you want something to be a reality so badly, you can almost see it in your horizon. In the case of a metal-head and huge fan of reggae (I know, bit of a contradiction), this horizon finally shone through a cloud of genre merges, just not as brightly as I'd hoped. Skindred's debut offering is a pretty messing combination of the two styles (with some heavy punk doses) and seems to do little for the "genre" other than prove that it just doesn't work. There are a few hidden moments on this disc where something actually comes together, but 8/10 tracks are pretty useless. Perhaps there is hope for this band and style, although it just seems too unlikely. Still, props to Skindred for attempting such a volatile combination of sounds.
