It is definitely the fuck you albums to the commercial successes. It was my window into dub music.

There's so many ways to look at it. It's as bloated or overstuffed as any classic rock double album (if not more), and songs like Hitsville definitely are very commercial. Almost like a distant cousin to The Who Sell Out.
I wonder if it were released today that its dub/reggae elements would be accused of blackface or cultural appropriation. We'll never know.
