It is a chilled out, percussion heavy album with vocal harmonies galore, the one downside is the album length, at a whopping 66 minutes this monster sort of drags on. That is a minor setback though, a little sunshine, a BBQ and some form of intoxicant (it is clear what the band prefers) all mix well with this album. <i>Yard Style<\/i>\u00a0will certainly be on rotation on patios this summer and it is certainly worth checking out. Reggae aficionados will appreciate the presence of reggae legend Willi Williams, who adds a cool dynamic to some tracks. The slow burning, jam session vibe of this release will certainly win over some fans and it is a nice experiment, instead of the band trying to recreate their 90s heyday.
