I'm delighted to find this CD is as good as the other reviewers claim. I'm old enough to have bought UB40's first four albums on vinyl- and still rate them amongst my favourites. This CD is as good (if not better) than most of those. Highly recommended.
Fantastic

As someone who has all the stuff the UB's have done i think they have done themselves proud with this album. And life will go on without Ali.
Back to their best

This album is definately one of the highlights of music this year.
I received a promotional version of the CD in the sunday paper and it is very good with some memorable songs.
The previous guys comment about the lack of Ali Cambell on the album is innacurate. This album features Ali Cambell but on tracks such as the cover of "Shot The Sheriff" there is vocals by Maxi Priest and Benniton the Menace for example.
On their latest tour Ali has been replaced by his brother Duncan however this CD has Ali singing.
Great Album!

This put it simply is one of their best albums ever!! Catchy lyrics from End of War, I'll Be there, and their excellent new single Lost and Found. Might not be as good as Who you fighting for? but contains very good music and lyrics of their own original material.
UB40 New Album Review

2 years on since the grammy nominated album 'Who You Fighting For' UB40 come back with a startling new album. The musical compositions twinned with the excellent lyrics make twentyfourseven one of the most credible albums of the year, and I have listened to a lot already, this is quality stuff. Powerful political songs "The Road' 'End Of War and 'Oh America' neighbour wonderful ballads such as the delightful masterpiece 'I'll Be There' It is apparent there are a lot of members in this band and it is evident that quality input has not been in short supply. The songs pass smoothly from one to the next and are littered with surprises, in the background we are treated to clever harmonies and counter melodies. Overall a smashing album that packs a PUNCH large enough to knock a dinosaur out.
OMG..you gotta get this !

twentyfourseven is such a lovely album to cherish and to hold as its soulfulness means its hard to press the skip button since Ali Campbell alongside the band first came into view on the back of such successful tracks such as "Red Red Wine" the sonny and cher cover "I got you babe" sung alongside Chrissie Hynde and the iconic track "I can't help falling in love with you"
Just comes to show there is plenty of life in the old dog yet!
BETTER AND BETTER

UB40 totally dominate the 'white' reggae scene.
Their sound is so distinctive and it will be interesting to see how the absence of Ali affects them.I got this album free with the paper ( 10 track version) and it is SUPERB.
I cannot wait to get the full version.Each song is a joy and seems to be back to doing what they do best (like the last album) and not exploring the muddiness of studio trickery about from one track that sounds a little uncomfortably like CHER's vocal experimenting.But this is a great album to have in the car on a hot sunny day.It sounds great and makes you feel the same.All the usual political and cultural observations are there but make no mistake that this album is all about the MUSIC.
It will be so sad to not have ALI in their line-up but hopefully Duncan will bridge the gap.Full marks for producing such a quality album, so far down the road of their careers and long may they continue.!!!!
