The marriage of The Gladiators and US-based Nighthawk records seems like a no-brainer. The label's penchant for producing simple, understated, traditional roots reggae fits perfectly with the group's vintage vocal harmony sound on Serious Thing. This is the Gladiators' second Nighthawk album, following 1982' Symbol of Reality (a third, 1993's Full Time, would be culled from tracks recorded in the early '80s), and it featuers the group's trademark folksy, rural sound, complete with delightful homespun quips like "Old man get dreams; young man see visions." ("Freedom Train") and "Some people love justice; some love revenge" ("Good Foundation"). As expected, the tunes are melodic, although "After You" and "Fling It Gimme" might soound a bit too cutesy for some listeners. The best tune is the driving "My Thoughts," which pounds righteousness into your soul, but really there's little on Serious Thing that stands out (excpet maybe "Rearrange," which only stands out for its striking resemblance to The Mighty Diamonds' "Have Mercy"). This album is more of package deal, with each track flowing quietly into the next and little though of fast-forwarding entering your mind. As such, I wouldn't recommend it as someone's initial introduction to The Gladiators; rather, it's something to savor once you've established your appreciation for the group. Note: the track listing on the Nighthawk CD lists 10 tracks, but that's because it separates the dubs of "My Thoughts" and "Mid-Range" into different tracks when in fact the album contains "disco mixes" of those tunes which play straight through from the vocal track to the instrumental version.
