Industry Reviews
...At last, a Melody Makers album that'd make Father proud. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (07/25/1997)
...FALLEN IS BABYLON stays true to the band's form, mixing programmed beats and loops, traditional roots vibes, raggamuffin, and a bit of hip hop into their reggae band...
Vibe (09/01/1997)
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...classic roots reggae--peppered with ragamuffin and hip-hip flavor...
