cd packaged in a special edition digipack. the unstoppable dub pistols return, in their biggest year yet, with their fifth album 'worshipping the dollar'. barry ashworth and his motley crew created their latest long player in between gigs every weekend following the release of acclaimed 2009 album 'rum and coke'. 'worshipping the dollar' sees a return to lyrical themes explored on earlier albums with deeper and more conscious lyrics and a pacier feel to the tracks, which mirrors their increasingly frenetic live shows. "there are a lot more statement songs - a lot of food for thought on this one," says main man barry ashworth. "it's more uptempo, there's some d'n'b, but the lyrics are deeper and darker. it's more like our old stuff in a way." the title of the album is taken from a track voiced by akala, ms dynamite's brother. "living in squalor, worshipping the dollar, there is no flag large enough to wrap around the horror" - so runs a key lyric on the anti-war song 'west end story', a scathing indictment of us imperialism. other highlights include the return of uk hip hop hero rodney p, who has become part of the dub pistols extended family over the years, on a couple of the albums d'n'b tracks: the firin' 'gunshot' and the hilarious standout 'mucky weekend'. other guest vocalists include lindy layton, formerly of norman cook's chart-topping beats international project (guesting on 'rock steady' with rodney p); reggae legends red star lion (barbados) and dan bowskill (london), plus regular dubs mcs tk and darrison.
