While
Byron Lee & the Dragonaires have been on top of the soca scene for decades,
Soca Thriller, their 20th album, supplies mostly pedestrian soca tunes, full of fun and energy but little else that's memorable. The performances on the 15-song CD don't stand out a lot, the bouncy rhythms just blend together, until the last six tunes, which shine with heavy Latin influences.
