Time Boom X De Devil Dead is a 1987 studio album by Lee Perry and Dub Syndicate. It was re-released in 1994 by On-U Sound and in 2001 by EMI Records.

The album was something of a comeback for Perry.[2][6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote that "while perhaps lacking the eccentric edge of Perry’s own work, the LP is still weird and wonderful, a sample of some of the best avant-garde groove music being made today."[7] Exclaim! called it Perry's best album of the 1980s.[6] NME ranked it #34 on its "50 Best Albums of 1987" list.[8]
