This is the Specials with their DNA fully intact, Go back and listen to their first two albums, "Specials" and "More Specials." You will find the lyrics political and thought provoking. In the late seventies and early eighties they woke up a generation that have been awake ever since. It is time the youngsters woke up in 2019. I doubt if they will pay attention as we did but if one or two young bands take inspiration and pick up the flag, anything could happen. What a brave record to put out, I thought Vote For Me Was worthy of the name but this is "More Specials" with a modern twist. It seems the fire has not gone out in the souls of the men who did so much for my generation. Maybe I am hoping for to much from the new album, but just maybe they could influence some new political song writers. Emotional
I am now 51 years of age and old boiler made a huge impression on me as a young man very happy to hear the Specials are still looking after rude girls I heard old boiler on Irish radio many years ago at about half one in the morning and it changed me forever I have a strong wife and daughter and a son who all know they have an equal voice in our family and I am delighted to hear this powerful piece that I can play to my kids viva ska viva the Specials they are not called the Specials for nothing
Ella quedo famosa por una foto de ella vestida en un t-shirt de The Specials enfrentando un pinche supremacista blanco, y the Specials convidaron ella cantar con ellos
I'm in love with Ska all over again. 37 years is far too long but worth the wait. Roll on Monday the 4th of February. I'll be in HMV as soon as I've finished work. 💚
Loved it, 40 years of the Specials and counting down the days for the new album and tour and now this with Saffiyah Khan and a socially conscious song.
So do I, but it didn't happen to us when we were listening to it 35-40 years ago or however long ago it was. Don't mean to be depressing, but we had the best music from mid-60's to mid-'90s and yet the world is fucked. More fucked than ever. I do hope your grandkid has a better reality than us, but, you know, past experience an' all that. What, you reckon cos this generation's got social media (but shit music) they'll do better than we did? I believe the modern idiom is LOL.
Love the new material and what the band stand for. Been a fan since I was a schoolboy, seen them live twice and will no doubt go and watch them again. Superb. I'm 50 this year. When I watched them live for the first time it was absolutely electric. Long time coming......
So many negative comments on here already. You can hear there music all the way through. The band have always stood for the same thing. Even if they have guest singer in. No different from when Rhoda Dakar guested. Music and a strong theme have always been important in this band.
Whatever bud. I know what this band were all about because I was there when they started. Don’t say women don’t deserve equal rights. And don’t tell me what to say. Clearly a troll that smokes too much bud.
@THC Medic It's because the real anti-establishment Specials were murdered in 1987 and replaced by clones who want to make free thinkers like you mindless pawns. Don't let them fool ya!
THC Medic Yes, great comment...,anyone with good observational skills, who can clearly hear and see how deception works, has come to the conclusion you point out. The music we once thought of as anti establishment, is in reality part of the very system. Deception works on many levels and across many industries in this world. Once you realise their is an agenda most of these bands have been pushing and continue to push, its quite shocking but it also sets you free from the slavery of it, God bless you
The band has always stood for loving everyone regardless of race or gender, acceptance and good times. In the past those were leftist ideas but the spectrum has gotten all fucked up lately and they likely though "eh we'll continue on with the left aye?" without realizing they have become the exact thing they have previously rebelled against.
Great music! Lyrics are expressed as forcefully as Prince Buster did over 50 years ago...updated - Told by a woman with an ego-driven message too...she put PB’s version up for a great challenge...I think this Specials version is going to be remembered for decades
Well done on standing up to the EDL and speaking out against the terrible violence against women that is endemic in the UK. Reminds me in tone of Linton Kwesi Johnson.
Ironic that the girl is Muslim and they are standing up to women violence. Yet her religion and the countries it resides in are top of the list when it comes to women violence and no women rights. But yh edl are so bad
Back to the Future. I was 15 when the Speacials last released music. Talant beyond belive. Music with a meaning, dangerously good music, Iam now 54 Hope my teenage kids like this sound.

@Nigel Stocks For me The Boiler was more Specials than this. It was still on 2 Tone, Dammers designed the single cover, produced the song, Brad/Jerry/Horace were still band members and they played The Boiler live during their final tour in August 1981 before the split was announced 2 months later. This has no relevance to 2 Tone or The Specials legacy. It's like their history has been completely shafted until they go on tour and have to rely on Dammer's & Roddy's songwriting once again.
Twenty years ago about, when I first heard Prince Buster with his version. I thought , cheeky fucker! I’d like to do a female version. Sophia , nice one sister x
Why do I get the impression that there are too many old men in the comments that don’t like the song because the Commandments hit too close to home.. the song isn’t hating on men in general it’s displaying what some men are like.
MrOnionCock wow. Racism, homophobia. You must be seriously unhappy to discriminate someone because of the colour of their skin or the person they choose to love - because of the many many ways those choices of a random stranger affect you in your everyday life.
Love the tune! I'd wish Saffiyah Khan would be recognised in the title or at least in the description. Her lyrics and power after all!
Specials as relevant as always! Where a lot of bands struggle to keep open minds and stay true to their ideas. RIP Terry, you made me a better person.

Yeah really brave to just repeat what everyone in every form of media has ranted about for years now.
Then: Against the mainstream with progressiv ideas.
Now: Just hopping on the mainstream train.
Best comment ever!
Well said!
you do realised politicised music/musical artists doesn't really go out of vogue, you just have to search for it.
@@skippingtotheend you are correct Toby. It is just that the Specials do it so well
Very interesting fusion.

@MrOnionCock Yes, "Why?" is another great, thought provoking Specials song. Way ahead of its time.
@MrOnionCock you're just now realizing that The Specials are leftist? If you have time, please re-read the lyrics to "Why?"
Greatness Returned.....LOVE DIS BAND!!!!!!
i am so happy and in love with this song.
Love this.
un hymne à la liberté , The Specials reviennent avec toujours une vue sur l'actualité , ce titre est une réussite

Unexpected, but brilliant. Thematically similar to The Boiler, which is sadly still relevant.
