State Of Emergency (Steel Pulse Album)
State of Emergency is a reggae album released by Steel Pulse in June, 1988. It is Steel Pulse's seventh studio album. The album is widely regarded as their most blatantly crossover-aimed album. It is marred by the apparent overproduction, bland "rap" styled vocals and un-Pulselike forgettable lyrics.
However, while it was met with critical scorn, State of Emergency peaked at #127 on The Billboard 200 chart in 1988. Making it the highest ranked Steel Pulse album yet.

“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The motor idles.
Over the immense upland
the pulse of their blossoming
thunders through us.”
