State of Emergency is a reggae album released by Steel Pulse in June, 1988. It is Steel Pulse's seventh studio album. The album is widely regarded as their most blatantly crossover-aimed album. It is marred by the apparent overproduction, bland "rap" styled vocals and un-Pulselike forgettable lyrics.
However, while it was met with critical scorn, State of Emergency peaked at #127 on The Billboard 200 chart in 1988. Making it the highest ranked Steel Pulse album yet.
