Natty Dread

I enjoy this, but I definitely think it's missing some major dynamics without Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.

Some great songs on here, I enjoyed this one much more than Catch a Fire. I still somewhat stand by my opinion that the "Legend" compilation is all the BM one needs, but this album is deserving enough of this list.

Uit eerdere recensies van mij is op te maken dat ik jeuk krijg van zeurende zang. Ook Bob klinkt af en toe wat zeurend. Muzikaal ben ik ook geen groot fan. Maar in zijn geval versterkt de klank van de zang wel de boodschap. En de muziek compenseert het vaak. Een zware boodschap wordt dan begeleid door vrolijke muziek. Af en toe zou ik toch stiekem een instrumentale versie willen...

Really enjoyed this, up there with the best Reggie albums Iv heard, such a feel good sound.

Exactly what I would expect from Bob Marley. And that's a good thing.

I've never been massively into reggae, but I enjoyed this. Absolutely, convincingly doing its own thing while being tuneful and accessible.

Another outstanding album!! Bob Marley was one of a kind! People have tried to emulate his sound, but have never been able to capture it just right. His music has a way of instilling hope and happiness in me every time I listen to it. I find the song No Woman No Cry almost therapeutic (I can turn it on on a bad day and feel better instantly). The part of the song where he repeats "Everything's going to be alright" just forces you to put everything in perspective. Such excellent reggae music with subtle notes of funk mixed in. Every song on this record is amazing!

Favourite songs: No Woman No Cry, Bend Down Low, Talkin' Blues, Them Belly Full (But We Hungry), Revolution, Natty Dread, Lively Up Yourself

Least favourite song: if forced to pick one, Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock). It is still a phenomenal song, it just didn't hit as hard for me as the other songs.

5/5

Wonderful, not quite the Marley that gets played on the radio in Scotland, but probably more authentic because of that. The version of 'no woman no cry' is very different to the famous version on the "Legend" album, but still very impressive.
For clarity, I loved it!

Äh en vaan jotenkin ymmärrä reggaeta. Jotenkin todella tylsää musaa kuunnella. Annan kuitenkin 2/5 koska ei varsinaisesti mitään teknistä vikaa.

"Everything's gonna be alright"

OH YEAAAAAAAAA. Lively Up Yourself. No Woman No Cry, though I don't know that I have every heard it this upbeat and gospel. it almost feels rushed. dude this fucking album is so great.

Aparte de "No Woman, No Cry" no conocía el resto de canciones. Música Reggae jamaicana que nunca puede estar mal.

The original version of No Woman No Cry is pretty amazing compared the the more famous live version.
