Yeah, I'd pretty much agree with that - I do really like some of the earlier
tracks, but I think it really kicks off when you get to "Booty". The only
duff moment in the second half of the album is Stephen Marley (YMMV, it
seems.) And the best is saved 'til last - i.e "Green Eyes". I have a pretty
hard time getting "Time Is Wasting" out of my head too...
