The Gladiators are no longer The Gladiators: front man Albert Griffiths has retired for health reasons and is now replaced by son Al (hence the title of the album: 'Continuation') and the only remaining original member of The Gladiators, Gallimore Sutherland. This is all no doubt done with the best of intentions and Al definitely holds his own ('Good Over Evil', '(Jah Bless Me With) Something'), but 'Continuation' doesn't sound like The Gladiators we all love and like, something that becomes only all to obvious when Al ventures into a reworking of an old Gladiators classic ('Today Is For You' is a weak copy of 'Seven Times To Rise'). We all need to make ends meet financially, but this kind of succession just doesn't make sense!
