Skindred wrote "Set It Off" as a band, and it lives on Babylon, the 2002 debut from the Welsh outfit that rose out of the breakup of Dub War with its leader, Benji Webbe, still leading the way. The album's calling card was a crossbreed of alternative metal and reggae, and critics went for it.
It had a bumpy ride. RCA released it first, the band walked away in 2004 feeling the label had treated them badly, and Bieler Bros. put it out internationally with Lava, every edition reshuffling the track list. They took it on the road on a tour led by Korn, and Babylon went to number one on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart in 2004, then did it again in 2006.
