A consistently average album from Linval Thompson, Six Babylon is nonetheless a step up from I Love Marijuana in terms of the quality of both the music and the melodies. The best track may be "Give Thanks and Praise," featuring a classic organ and bass-heavy rhythm used in the '90s for hits like Sanchez' "Missing You." Also moderately musical are "Don't Give Up," with its driving bass and bluesy guitar, the rocking "Africa We Want To Go," "No Confusion, No War," and "Be Careful My Brother," featuring a bass line reminiscent of Gregory Isaacs' "Soon Forward."
