Well I think it's the perfect album to discover the genre, and it was one of my all time faves when I did, but as I listened to more reggae, my love for this album has gone down a bit. Well don't get me wrong, it's still an amazing piece of music. It's just that it used to be in my top 30 or so, and now sits in the 60s (I think... I don't remember) on my decade chart. Now I much prefer Burnin' and Catch A Fire (among the Wailers' discography, that is to say).
Never had my Marley phase. I love a lot of reggae/rocksteady/"that family" of Jamaican music, but I either was close-minded to it when exposed to him early or found him a bland interpretation of the genre later on. Fun fact: his grandson is in my college class, though I don't take any courses with him and live quite a ways away.
Alternately anthemic and chill, I'm not sure this album ever fully settles on an identity, but my preference is for the latter. The first side wouldn't play so well at a barbecue, so I'd jump for Soul Revolution before this one. He knows our buttons, though, and he shows it here. Definitely worth hearing.
Probably not my favourite Marley album, (don't ask me why) but definately one of his best, if not THE best. Exodus in itself is extraordinary. _________________ - An aspiring Music Journalist.
