    Simply viewed as a contemporary ska album, Subculture is fine stuff with some inspired moments and consistently engaging performances, and if your tastes run to the old school in both ska and reggae, this should be just what your sound system has been missing lately.

    On Subculture, The Selecter's dismay at the world is as powerful as ever. [Jul 2015, p.81]

    Subculture stands up well: an accomplished set of ska, pop and reggae. [Aug 2015, p.112]

    See them A Come and band original Open Goal here could both date from that time [1980].... The rest of Subculture spreads the net wider though. [Jul 2015, p.93]

    True, goofy lyrics are littered about, and the questionable Babble On seems a misfiring pot-shot at global religion/terrorism, but Subculture is a surprisingly potent cocktail: far more insightful and balanced than it might first get mistaken for.
