Total reviews (7)

In the top 3 or 4 Marley albums. The opening track 'coming in from the cold' has a beautiful groove and melody and deserves to be a better known Marley tune.. Other stand out tracks include 'bad card' and 'could you be loved'. Beautiful

Bob Marley is one of the most unique and famous artists of his time and stands miles apart from every one who attempted to "jump on the band wagon" and copy his successful style. This album is his last and could be called his best if not for the immortal genuis of Exodus. There are songs which Marley fans could most associate with such as the revolutionary worded "Redemption song" to the lyrically simple "comin in from the cold". One difference to this album is the upbeat, classic "could u be loved. Could this have been the start of a change in style with the reggae mastermind. The answer is we shall never, but his music is unique and therefor shall remain immortal. Its not everyones ideal CD, but i believe if you can get hooked on one of his great albums such as Uprising,Kaya and Exodus you will want them all.The great thing is his albums are inexpensive and for a small price u can listen to a bit of genius so take my advice and give it go.

Awe-inspiring. This is classic Bob Marley at his best, with some great tracks, some of which EVERYONE in the world has heard, some less well known, but equally cool. Makes a good case for avoiding the proliferation of "Best of" collections that exist and going for something a little more original - there are some real gems among his back catalogue that most Marley "fans" won't have heard. Great stuff.

I am now only writing reviews about the very finest emotionally moving music that draws your soul up to a higher plane. These reviews only feature on albums that merit them. If you have never heard this album then I am sorry for you, but if you are reading this then you have time unless yopu are terminally diaqnosed to die within 1 day - find redemption, find joy, find peace, find bliss, buy this.
