## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Specials: still special
*by A***Y on 3 February 2019*

I have to be honest, I wondered what a Specials album could possibly sound like in 2019 and wondered just how relevant an album with only three original members would be. Encore has proved my doubts well and truly wrong, as this album is absolutely brilliant; incisive, cutting social commentary coupled with excellent music - this is already one of the top albums of the year. I imagine that many of the negative reviews will come from people who don't like what The Specials have to say, but the band are just as spot on today as they were in 1979, especially when they add voices such as Saffiyah Khan's. B.L.M. and 10 Commandments pull no punches and Vote For Me resumes where Ghost Town left us back in 1981... it's quite sad to see how far we haven't come since then in Britain, with our politically and economically divided society and The Specials are just as relevant today as they were back then. The music is pretty great too and there are a few good covers of songs by The Equals, The Valentines and Fun Boy Three (covering The Lunatics is perhaps a little too self-referencing, but in these Brexit times you can understand why they included it) and the new members of the band (especially Nikolaj Torp Larsen and Steve Cradock) gel extremely well.The "greatest hits live" second disc is very enjoyable and may be a small compensation for those buying this album for simply nostalgic reasons. For those with more open minds and definitely those who are more in tune with where Terry, Lynval and Horace are coming from, it'll be the new album that won't leave the stereo.
