Mixerr Album Reviews #2,187

Maroon Town ‎– One World is another reggae album everyone can relate to. The album includes positive motivational songs to party themes about having fun. The sound is similar to artists Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, The Loafers, The Wailers, Aswad, and Third World. This release is as monumental as their last release but has a more greasy dub sound that’s just as rambunctious. The band is concise with their sound.


Fix The Future is an uplifting positive song how we as humans can improve ourselves to become better in life. Maroon Town tells we need to learn and grow as we proceed to move forward in life. Fix The Future is also about how we as humans can fix our future so the planet Earth can be a better place for all life forms to inhabit.

The song gives us a ray of hope for personal freedom and political freedom. This is one of their positive motivational songs. This song is also one of their triumphant songs. Of course that is understated as this song has been very much overlooked.

Gather round there's a story in the making. Doors are unlocking chains are breaking. Fixing the future may seem like the impossible dream but it’s not. If you work together and put aside our differences then we can become better as people. We can improve our lives this way. We know our faults and it’s time to make the repairs. It's only the beginning of a flowing stream in a moment of triumph the walls came down. To fix the future, we need to stay on the right track. Maroon Town says optimism is life.

The lyrics expose the hidden agenda people have when it comes to choosing not to fix their problems and others. People choose to be stubborn and do things their own ways most of the time. “Wherever you go people they are stating/The right to know end of dictating/To take what is rightfully theirs”

These lyrics explain to us that we were never meant to be held back or held down by political oppressions from the system (government).

Fix the future now
State of shock and a state of emergency
Surely that's how it wasn't meant to be
Being held down in our own territory
Bound to cause a major catastrophe
In the life of the majority controlled by a power
That’s stepping out totally
Yes it's dead and gone
Put the people up where they belong
Fix the future, stay on the track
Pack your things no looking back


Chameleon is a colorful funky reggae ska song that has a funky rhythm and riddim. This song will make you feel wiggly. Dance represents the expressions and feelings of this song.

You know the feeling reggae music sends to your soul. You start to loose control and begin dancing. Music is a habit and a rhythm is to hold. I lose control too. So release the vibe and release the tension. You have the funkiest sound in town. A funky rhythm is something you can depend on. Release the vibe then you'll be reeling to the sound getting down.


Pound to the Dollar discusses the issues of greed and how there is not enough money to go around for everyone in the world. Rocksteady and dub meet the sounds of ska reggae on Pound to the Dollar. There are a lot of rhythms and rhymes that can be heard inside of this song.

From the Pound to the Dollar there is lots of money in the world but not enough to go around for everyone. This is due to greed. Many countries are in a lot of debt. A lot of greed goes on even in third world countries where a lot people are in a lot of need. Who will win this human race?

Lyrics to the first part of the song sum up the subject in a nutshell an amicable manner.

From the Pound to the Dollar
From the Dollar to the Pound
Lots of money in the world
Not enough to go around


Every Little Step is the third and final song on this cassette. The song includes an upbeat reggae rhythm about dancing and having fun. Ralph Lamb plays a mean but funky trumpet on the song. The song follows a dance beat which is actually a ska beat. Dance represents the expressions and feelings of this song.

Don't you ever underestimate the band that's rocking the beat! Every little step and move they make is never going to be fake. They are here rocking it straight grooving it straight down the line. It's time to celebrate. Tomorrow will be too late. Find the perfect mix and get the perfect blend to the music. The band wants you to dance and have a good time.  

The song encourages people to move forward in life. Now is the time. So there is no need for hesitation. Go forth and reach your destination. Step in the right direction. It's now and it won't wait.


Maroon Town explains to the listener(s) on the song World that we live on one planet and we need to get along with each other. They tell us we need (to) love. What good is a world without unity? What good can it be without unity? Those are the questions that need answers and to be answered.

The world spinning up commotion while moving in a circular motion. Everyone’s hearts are filled up with mixed emotions and feelings. To some life is a tragedy. For others it's a pure fantasy.

Tell me this. What good is a world without unity? What good can it be without unity? A world without unity is truly sad. Everybody needs somebody and wants somebody. We need love. Stick together with love. Join together and help mankind. It’s one world and we need to stick together.

From barren lands to luscious demands, the ultimate feelings will always remain. Stick together with love. Somebody come up with a notion.

I rate this album 4/5****.
