"This was Sizzla's first album ever, and it seemingly opened the flood gates, as he's had 15+ in the following years! Lyrically, Burning Up, isn't the best Sizzla that you'll hear, but as it was put together so early in his, that is entirely excusable. It does contain some good tracks however like Can't Hurt the Mind, Gun Ting Don't Pay, Dis Ganstar, and the record that made me start liking his music in the first place Search Fi Hardcore, the entire album has a very rootsy feel to it, and in later terms, I'd probably say it sounds somewhat like the excellent Royal Son of Ethiopia album, not as good lyrically, but still pretty good. And of course all the songs are great as bad songs do not exist on Xterminator. Overall, I say pick this one up, if for no other reason than to see significant level of improvement in Sizzla's skills, not that this is a bad album, but where he's taken his lyrical ability since Burning Up is amazing, I wouldn't recommend it to newer fans of Sizzla however, its more of an album for indoctrined fans of his.
