Week 6: Any Port In A Storm by The Dirty Heads

This week we have the "special edition" album from The Dirty Heads called Any Port In A Storm. These guys have blown up recently with their hit Lay Me Down (feat. Rome). Lucky for me, I can say I saw them before this at the same reggae festival where I saw Tomorrows Bad Seeds for the first time. Admittedly, I don't have the entire album nor have I heard every song, but what I have heard is amazing. Songs like Easy, Driftin, and Shine are all stellar with an acoustic sound like you would hear someone jamming at the beach while others, mostly Morning Light and Insomnia, have an odd tune that at first sounds sketchy at best but will later grow to become regulars on your most played playlist. The song Hip Hop Misfits is not one I would usually include in a review but deserves credit for being in my second favorite movie, Surfer, Dude and speaking of songs in movies, Stand Tall, my favorite song on the album and close to my favorite reggae song, is featured in the movie Surf's Up. Considering only these songs The Dirty Heads would have an awesome album and there are many more to be had. The downfall is that with 23 songs on the album some are bound to be sub par but I'll let you be the judge of that. Still a quality album worth every penny though. 4 out of 5 Stars.
