It’s written about what it sounds like - having the “courage to grow” and better yourself as a person. “Courage To Grow” is an beautifully smooth, typical reggae song, complete with horns and keyboard. Put this album on after a long day at work or school, and you'll just get lost in it.ġ. Songs like the title track, “Heart Like A Lion,” “Feelin’ Alright,” and “Other Side” are exceptionally well-written, in my opinion. However, I have to admit that my favorite part of this album is the songwriting - it’s all stuff we can mostly relate to. Wesley Finley (drums) does an awesome job behind the kit, keeping the traditional reggae shuffle feel in most of the songs on the album. Eric Rachmany (guitars/vocals) is a smooth, melodic singer, whose voice is just sublime (no pun intended) for this record. Yeah, it does get a bit repetitive at parts, but it’s done very tastefully, as all the songs have a similar feel, and are written about similar things - it’s definitely not as bad as you’d think. At times, the songs do sound sort of monotonous, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. No unnecessary vocal flare or obnoxious drumming. Everything just seems to fit beautifully in the songs, and there’s a perfect balance between the instruments. Rebelution are all phenomenal musicians for what they play. I’ve always had a broad musical palate, if you will, and I’m looking forward to reviewing many more albums across several genres and hopefully contributing to the SputnikMusic community. Well, I’ll preface this by saying that I’m a long-time reader of the site and the countless reviews here. Review Summary: Put on Courage To Grow and drift away for a little while - one of the best modern reggae/rock albums out there today.
