Production
Wailer wanted to incorporate a dance hall element into the album's sound.[6] "Warrior" is a cover of the Johnny Osbourne song.[7] "Peiaka 'Bus Dem Shut'" was written by the Wailers in the 1960s.[8] "Dog War" and "Never Grow Old" were written by Toots Hibbert.[9] "Reggae Burden" refers to Bunny's position as the last Wailer, as well as his role as a promoter of reggae.[10]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Music ratings The Gazette deemed the album "a tribute to the diversity of Jamaican reggae styles, from ska and rock steady, to lover's rock, roots and dancehall... It's a richly melodic, uplifting set from start to finish, spearheaded by the bold and caring vocals of a reggae veteran."[11] The Chicago Tribune concluded that, "while not as aggressively 'dancey' as some material now in the marketplace, parts of Gumption are indeed given a 'synthetic' shading by electronic drum beats—although that's generally balanced by a more 'human,' emotional feeling stemming from ebullient melodies and Wailer's warm vocals."[12] The Los Angeles Daily News noted that "the majority of tracks here are lackluster and say nothing new rhythmically."[13]
AllMusic wrote that "Wailer uses simplicity to great advantage... His consistency is a thing to admire."[7]
