Open the Iron Gate aka Revolution Time was recorded after Max Romeo left Lee "Scratch" Perry's stable. Though Scratch's influence persists, it's a notch or two below War Ina Babylon and not nearly as accessible. The biggest drawback to this otherwise fine album is that the lyrics are quite dated. Romeo was enlisted as a mouthpiece by Michael Manley's PNP party, which promised socialism and change for the poor, yet failed to deliver once elected. If you can get past the Rasta communist maxims, there's ... Read More

I'm hesitant to give an album 5 stars. But this album is really that good. Vocally, Max Romeo puts on a great show, outshining his work on "War Inna Babylon" by a good amount. The production is top notch, with tracks being laid down at the legendary Black Ark, Harry J's, and Randy's. The back-up band is also legendary, including, amongst others, "Family Man" and Carlton Barrett and Chinna Smith.
One reviewer (somewhat bizarrely) weighed in on the "Marxist" lyrics. "On the minus side of the ... Read More

Max Romeo's less-is-more ethos is evident with spare arrangements that perfectly showcase his soulful, Heptone-esque voice.
Like an artist who uses empty canvas to good effect, Romeo uses the silence between notes to evoke both outer-space alienation and the warm ambiance (think "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd or "Another Green World" by Brian Eno). It's no easy trick.
If you haven't heard of Max Romeo before, you may be surprised to find how close he comes to achieving transcendant ... Read More

This is an absolutely stunning collection of deep, catchy, warm, political, deadly dread Reggae! Although Max Romeo is best known for his excellent album 'War Ina Babylon' (produced & co-written by the great Lee Perry) I think 'Open the Iron Gate' to be his best! (By the way, talking about Lee Perry: "Three Blind Mice" is an Upsetter track from 1974 and the corrosive "Fire Fe De Vatican" was recorded at the Black Ark).
In fact 'Open The Iron Gate' is made up of Max's 1975 'Revelation Time' album ... Read More

As far as some people are concerned, Blood and Fire can do no wrong. Much as I admire their re-issue programme myself, I don't feel that every single release is necessarily a must-own CD. However, Max Romeo's Open The Iron Gate is most assuredly one such release. This is arguably Max Romeo's finest hour, even though many classics such as War Inna Babylon, Chase The Devil and One Step Forward are to be found on the earlier War Inna Babylon LP -- nearly every track is a gem. Socialism, class struggles and the ... Read More
