5 out of 5 stars Roots Reggae at its best.......2005-07-14

I'm hesitant to give an album 5 stars. But this album is really that good. Vocally, Max Romeo puts on a great show, outshining his work on "War Inna Babylon" by a good amount. The production is top notch, with tracks being laid down at the legendary Black Ark, Harry J's, and Randy's. The back-up band is also legendary, including, amongst others, "Family Man" and Carlton Barrett and Chinna Smith.

One reviewer (somewhat bizarrely) weighed in on the "Marxist" lyrics. "On the minus side of the ledger, the lyrics are cartoonishly Marxist..but Romeo comes across as more of an earnest naif than as a danger to an island economy." Romeo--if it wasn't obvious already--proves on this set that he's far too intelligent to be dismissed as naive.

5 out of 5 stars Soulful Reggae Minimalism.......2004-03-22

Max Romeo's less-is-more ethos is evident with spare arrangements that perfectly showcase his soulful, Heptone-esque voice.

Like an artist who uses empty canvas to good effect, Romeo uses the silence between notes to evoke both outer-space alienation and the warm ambiance (think "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd or "Another Green World" by Brian Eno). It's no easy trick.

If you haven't heard of Max Romeo before, you may be surprised to find how close he comes to achieving transcendant greatness on a couple of tracks. On "Warning Warning" he goes into a zone, while "Every Man ought to Know" has unforgettably great backing vocals.

On the minus side of the ledger, the lyrics are cartoonishly Marxist (smiting Babylon with hammers, sickles, and whatnot), but Romeo comes across as more of an earnest naif than as a danger to an island economy.

This wildly underappreciated album belongs in any reggae collection that goes beyond 10 CDs. Even if you don't agree that it is great, it can't be argued that this doesn't stand up well to repeated listens. I must have listened to this disc twenty times in recent months, which outside of, say, Blackmarket Clash just doesn't happen on my CD player.

5 out of 5 stars Top Ranking Romeo!!!.......2003-10-14

This is an absolutely stunning collection of deep, catchy, warm, political, deadly dread Reggae! Although Max Romeo is best known for his excellent album 'War Ina Babylon' (produced & co-written by the great Lee Perry) I think 'Open the Iron Gate' to be his best! (By the way, talking about Lee Perry: "Three Blind Mice" is an Upsetter track from 1974 and the corrosive "Fire Fe De Vatican" was recorded at the Black Ark).
In fact 'Open The Iron Gate' is made up of Max's 1975 'Revelation Time' album as well as various tracks from the period.
All the tracks are heavy killers and the booklet contains a good text on Max Romeo and some very nice pictures!
I think you really need this album, there's no way out!!!

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best roots reggae ever committed to vinyl.......2001-11-05

As far as some people are concerned, Blood and Fire can do no wrong. Much as I admire their re-issue programme myself, I don't feel that every single release is necessarily a must-own CD. However, Max Romeo's Open The Iron Gate is most assuredly one such release. This is arguably Max Romeo's finest hour, even though many classics such as War Inna Babylon, Chase The Devil and One Step Forward are to be found on the earlier War Inna Babylon LP -- nearly every track is a gem. Socialism, class struggles and the great divide between the rich and the poor are all major themes, explored with great flair and lucidity on tracks such as No Peace, Warning Warning and Revelation Time. War Inna Babylon, Romeo's signature track, is recast as the incendiary Fire Fe The Vatican, a scathing denunciation of the Catholic church. Other highlights include the palpable pathos of A Quarter Pound Of I'cense, the brilliant Three Blind Mice, whose Trenchtown Rock-style celebration of dance culture seems to have only grown more poignant with the passage of time, and the impassionate appeal of the title track. Needless to say, the Lee 'Scratch' Perry-influenced production (although only Romeo himself is credited on this release) is first-rate throughout; also, some (but sadly not all) tracks come with dub versions mixed in. I would have preferred separate tracks for the dubs, but they are excellent otherwise. All in all, an impeccable roots reggae record.

5 out of 5 stars great stuff.......2000-09-15

I was a very happy man when I happened upon this collection. While much of this lp comes from Romeo's amazing tour de force "Revolution Time," this does not mean that you should stay away from it- far from it.

Romeo has a mozt amazing voice, and he certainly showcases it here. Add to that the amazing dub master Lee "Scratch" Perry and the cup of reggae brilliance runneth over tenfold.

Whether you are a newcomer to reggae or an ardent fan, this lp should be in your personal collection. It is a large nugget of greatness that should not be ignored.

    4 out of 5 stars Good Ol Hardcore.......2005-06-30

    Review by Tyler Wagnon:

    Into old school hardcore in the 80's vein a la D.R.I. and Minor Threat? Then this EP is right up your alley. Straight up, Righteous Jams is what old school hardcore is all about. Rage of Discipline is the first release from Kung Fu Records since pairing up with Broken Sounds, and is actually a reissue of Righteous Jams' 2004 EP, originally on Broken Sounds.

    The 9 songs that comprise the album only last 13 minutes, so needless to say, they like to keep things brief. Normally, such short tracks are fast and brutal, but Righteous Jams doesn't really fit with the fast and angry hardcore we are so used to hearing these days. Instead, they opt for mid-paced, simple riffs and basic drum patterns that are really more fun than anything.

    More bands should do this sort of thing instead of being all about the brutal stuff, and macho breakdowns. That kind of thing definitely has its place, but there is something about the classic 80's hardcore sound that can't be found anywhere else... and Righteous Jams nail it.

      This cd resumes some important moments in angel corpse's history like great Eps and excellent cover versions for classics... It's just TOO bad this band had not the value they deserve this band was / is the BEST in the death/black genre , it's just the PERFECT mix of slayer-like guitar riffs , fast drumming and great black metal vocals and some MAD guitar solos as well, it's sad to know I'm being the only one so far to be talking about this cd...
