Natty Dread

A ono, nije mi ova glazba toliko super napeta, vjerujem da je sve ovo bilo puno puno bolje live, nego sad slusati na striming platformama. ALI, ovo zvuci jako dobro! Tipa, produkcijski je ovo totalni vrh. pogotovo sto na mene utjecu vanjske okolnosti, zamisli koliko je siromasna i sjebana jamajka bila tih 70ih, vjerojatno su imali onak neku šupu na plazi s polusjebanim instrumentima i mixerima, a svjedno snime nesto ovako cisto Realno 4 zvijezdice. [...] Bit ce trojka samo zbog no woman no cry, ne mogu to vise cuti [...] Kako album ide dalje, entuzijazam oko male šupice na plazi je splasnuo i lagano mi krece ovaj album ici na kurac. Ostavljam trojku za sad, ali nisam jos ni na pola albuma. Bilo bi mi zao prekinuti album i dati jedinicu, za sad jedino ove gitarske solazice izvlace stvar [..] rebel music malo spašava stvar, cak sam malo i gruvao glavom uz ovo [..] uff ovaj natty dread, kongo, bongo, high, Babylon, daj suti jebote ides na dvojku prebacio sam pjesmu [..] iduce tri su ok, nisu me sekirale. B strana je uvijek bolja, prove me wrong [..] Ma solidna dvojka. Ovako, kuzim kulturoloski zasto je ovo bitan album, kuzim da je produkcija odlicna, ali jednostavno se ne mogu natjerati na ovakav album. Ovo je prvi put da sam si pustio album regea, a vjerojatno i zadnji. Fun fuct, da nije bilo rege glazbe, ne bi bilo niti ambijentalne glazbe. Brian Eno je rekao da je dobio inspiraciju za ambijentalnu glazbu od Rege glazbenika i nacina kako su oni spajali efekte na miksetu. Tako da, u svakom zlu neko dobro I guess

i really dont like reggae. i get it, i understand what it is, but i just dont enjoy listening to it. it drags, the melodies arent unique from song to song (at least to me), and the vocals are overwhelming in an often unpleasant way. maybe if i wasnt allergic to weed id feel different, but as of now i cant find any true reggae that i like.

I have absolutely nothing with reggae music. This doesn't sound like it needs to be on this list (maybe the live album from Bob Marley deserves it more?)

Not familiar with 95% of this album. Not bad but it sounded much the same throughout. You get the struggles of the starving poor and run-ins with the law that I'm sure Bob experienced firsthand. I mostly will stick with the hits but I'm sure this album deserves the list. I'll check out the One Love movie too...2.35.

I've been told Natty Dread is Bob's best album a couple times in the wild. I was relatively unimpressed after a listen. It's not bad, but I found it pretty generic and did little differentiate or stand out to me. Some decent songs, but overall relatively forgettable. Not something I would turn off and works when the vibes are there, but not something I'll be putting on again. Bob Marley is deservedly the iconic representative of reggae rock. If you walk up to me and ask me if I'm a fan it would be met with a swift and emphatic "Definitely". As I've listened to more of Bob Marley's work it's looking like I'm just a huge fan of the Legend greatest hits album which is loaded with his best work. Not sure I need to delve into his albums but maybe I'm missing something here with Natty Dread. 2.48 stars

never really enjoyed marleys music tbh but i understand the appeal 2/5

I think reggae is probably the genre that is most difficult for me to get.

Början av skivan var bättre, mot slutet började allt låta lite lika. It's a vibe stark 2

Just isn’t very good is it? Every single song sounds the same, every single time. Instantly forgettable.

Not a fan.

If you like Bob Marley, then you'll love this. Wasn't quite my cup of tea, but wouldn't turn it off if someone else put it on again.

apesar de ter gostado de certa forma do álbum anterior, percebi que não me importo o suficiente com reggae pra continuar me aprofundando no gênero. nada me instiga tanto a buscar mais sobre, o tédio bateu rápido

Good album. I'm not a fan of reggae. No woman, No cry is a classic track!

2,5

I feel like I should’ve liked this more than I did. Kinda dull and repetitive, maybe I should’ve been smoking weed. 2.3

Initially benefits from some good 70s production , but after the first 4 or 5 tracks it reverts to a homogenous traditional reggae sound.

Obviously good music, just not my thing

There's definitely better Bob albums.

The mans a legend, but his music is not for me.

I'm not fan of raggae, i can only listen to so much. Not bad, but after 3 songs it get boring...

I feel bad because Bob Marley is always somebody I want to love unabashedly and I always leave underwhelmed. Perhaps he was amazing to see live. “No Woman No Cry” is great. Everything else is ok to forgettable. 2.5/5

Eh. It was fine.

I'm sure this is great reggae, but reggae just isn't my thing. I find it boring, repetitive and going nowhere. I don't really like the way Bob Marley sings either.

Didn’t particularly like this. Kinda droned on, which is pretty familiar to the last BM album.

Not really my thing

first listen. it wasnt that bad but i simply do not enjoy reggae music like at all

it's reggae, what did i expect

2.5 stars. Not a big reggae guy. All kind of sound the same to me, probably need to be blazed I guess? "No Woman No Cry" is good, but otherwise it was a bit of a bore.

Nice steady sound not too heavy on reggs myself so idk maybe not for me but it's an easy kickback listen

nicht s chooon wiederrr bobbb das andere war besser

Bob Marley is an undisputed musical icon who reinvigorated America's love for reggae. Bob was a wise and humbled man, perfect for the genre he took a hold of. But, in context of his career Natty Dread isn't close to his best collection of his work.

Eh?

🚬💨🌿

Didn’t enjoy this anywhere near as much as exodus. Plus the album version of No Woman just sounds wrong

I had only been familiar with live cuts and greatest hits compilations from this legend so I was excited to get into this listen, however, that feeling was pretty quickly deflated and overall it seemed to run together. Depending on the mood I can see it fitting in the background poolside, tiki bars and tropical beach situations. I do recognize the cultural significance of the artist and style. I’ll give this particular album a 2. I prefer the hits and the live energy.

Listening to this it became quite clear that I’m very much a surface level Marley fan. Put Legend on repeat by the pool in the summer and I’m in. I didn’t really learn anything new by going through this album. Sounds like Marley and not bad in the background but not really any songs that grabbed me. Also, this version of No Woman No Cry was disappointing. Perhaps I’m being harsh and committing music blasphemy but this is between a 2 and 3 for me.

i felt super dorky listening to this just because it’s so incongruent with my vibe but i can see why people like it

There is a reason the Bob Marley album everyone has is Legend. This isn't legend.

I am not really into Bob Marley. Reggae is not my cup of tea, so... sorry Bob.

Not for me.

I really, really do not like this album. Exodus is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard...this is just every bad reggae stereotype in a single album

just reggae innit

Oh, Ragge... it is quite up to the taste of the listener. I can see why people can be into that but it is not a good listen to me as everything feels so basic and numb.

Reggae. Ehhhh

Obviously a great album for its genre, I just don't find the genre particularly engaging

Didn’t finish

I don't like this type of music

Reggae and rock. More politically charged than I expected, which was enjoyed. Happy on the surface, but kind of sad when you read into it. Feels like a family store father.

Didn’t get into it like I thought I would.

Ah. How I’ve missed those little bongos. I’m glad we listened to every album Bob made.

More boring reggae. I like no woman no cry at least.

Chillig, aber gewöhnungsbedürftig

I know Bob Marley is a legendary artist, has a movie coming out about his life and all that, but I don't quite understand it--at least not from this album or the other songs I've heard so far. Sure they are fine to chill to but trying to focus on the typical musical scoring rubric leaves a lot to be desired -- and maybe that is the point. At any rate, I felt the songs were largely repetitive and accept that I may just not be getting it. Favorite track? It's not bad music, but it's not great either. 2/5

It's a 2 from me fokes

This certainly ain't my thing. Doesn't really do anything for me. However it wasn't made for me so I can't say it's bad. Kinda repetitive but the vibes are pretty nice. On a nice sunny day it would be in its prime no doubt.

I just don't like reggae. No offense.

I steeled myself for an unenjoyable listening experience here, but the first track wasn't too bad. Even the version of No Woman No Cry was bearable, at the faster tempo than the live one. But it got really samey pretty fast. I can only take two or three songs worth of this.

God I hate this. Reggae has always been a genre I can't stand. I will be generous and bump it up to a two for the message.

Geht klar, bissl vibe

Har sgu lidt svært ved at vurdere sådan noget musik her.. Pladen er fin nok og no woman, no cry er måske det nummer jeg først tænker på, hvis nogen siger reggae. Men generelt siger det mig sgu ikke noget..

Always heard of Bob Marley but never listened to his stuff has talent just not my style of music. Might be better if you are high on something but as that’s not my lifestyle this is not for me. 2/5

This wasn't bad, but reggae is not really my thing apparently. 2/5

Not entirely sure why, but this plane didn't land entirely on the runway for me this go around. Some obvious good songs, but "Am-A-Do" struck me as a truly bad way to end the album and left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm taking down the average, sorry!

This is a well made enough record and I'm sure a fine example of the genre. It's just... reggae is so boring.

Try as I might, I can't seem to get into even the most accessible reggae. I appreciate the message and the passion, but the music doesn't call to me.

Along with Jazz, Reggae is a style that I know nothing about, but have disliked almost every time I’ve listened to it. I can understand the appeal of this album and totally get why this is usually labeled “stoner music”. It’s easy to chill to this music, forget why you were mad about something and just lose yourself. That said, there’s no emotion to it. It’s too slow, too droning. I didn’t hate this as much as I thought I would, but none of these songs is going into any of my playlists any time soon. Favorite track: Talkin’ Blues

I found myself disliking this album for much longer stretches than anticipated. A lot of the stereotypes used to make fun of reggae are very prevalent in here for me, like repetitive, very basic beats. I also didn't anticipate a borderline horny album from Bob Marley

Difficile à écouter et à apprécier si loin du contexte historique et social de l'époque. Musicalement répétitif.

good

nervig

Regae just not really my thang

No woman, no cry was my favorite.

Reggae, wasn’t in the mood

Reggae is not my jam

its aight - didn't listen to whole album

It‘s fine but not a huge fan

I do not like bob marley

Never have gotten into Bob Marley's music but I tried to keep an open mind. Still not my genre of music and I don't find much musically interesting about it. Most tracks don't rise above chill background music for me, although a few do the opposite; the repetitive Bend Down Low was incredibly grating on my nerves.

Pleasant listen but nothing really stand out at all. Even the studio version of no woman no cry done is v weak compared to the live recording

Just another Marley album to me unfortunately.

I didn't know about Rastafarianism before this. Bend down low is probably the best, even better than no woman no cry. Brrrr imstone. Pretty good basslines. I listened to lucid dreams (juice wrld) after this, and I heard all the sounds and instruments REALLY clearly. It's like assam grey tea, kind of a cleanser.

The original album was sooooo much better. Why did they do this? Oh? For money. Oh. Yeah, that makes sense cause it felt like the heart and soul of the songs where sold and whored out. It was just empty feeling compared to the original.

Good background music but wasn't all that into it.

It's not Marley's fault that I can't stand reggae and ska. But after listening to this and a few other albums by him, I still can't stand it. I appreciate his message. But I still dislike this immensely.

I just do not get on with reggae

No

5/10

It's Bob Marley. You know?

Satt och spela när jag lyssnade så hörde in riktigt

Fine

No Woman No Cry great song (but not the best version). I don't really care much for Bob / Reggae otherwise

I just do not fw this sorry Bob :(

I didn't realize how serious and powerful some of the lyrics were going to be. Seemed to drag on a bit in places but overall a very nice listen.

Not a reggae fan

I’ve always felt like I was missing something with reggae music. For whatever reason reggae songs had a tendency to lose my interest. I wondered if this would change in this project. Apparently it hasn’t. I didn’t hate the music, but could not remain interested in it. I feel almost guilty giving it an honest rating though.

I know Bob Marley is much revered butI just don't get this. The only thing saving this from being a 1 for me is Bob's singing voice being pretty good and the fact that I can at least acknowledge that there is some solid songwriting here, even if I don't necessarily care for it. As much as I like ska, and I'm talking all waves, not just the third wave punk stuff, it is a bit baffling to me that I have such distaste for reggae.

Hmm, I mean, it's nice to listen to, very relaxing but it's doesn't capture me that much 🤔 At least, I know where 'No woman No cry' comes from

A little meh if I’m honest.

This album was a chore to listen to. Bob Marley was influential as hell, and that's awesome, but this felt like listening to the same exact song for about 45 minutes. I'm very glad it's done.

No woman no cry is a certified banger but the rest wasn't noteworthy

Not my taste

This LP is just a tad too laid-back for my tastes. I understand reggae isn't the genre to expect uptempo tracks from, but there's not nearly enough tempo variation or exciting melodic hooks here to raise this album to anything noteworthy in my book.

Same opinion I have of the other reggae albums in this list: it’s fine, but only the really famous tracks stand out

Natty Dread is okay but not his best work. 2/5.

Don't get it. The version of No Woman No Cry is way weaker than what he produces later on, and there's not much else on this album that excites, it feels a bit light somehow. Them Belly Full is good, but I don't think I'll be listening to much else of this again. Expect we'll get better Marley albums on our list. 2/5.

Maybe I haven't heard the right stuff yet, but reggae is so boring to me. This album is fine, but sounds exactly the same as every other Bob Marley song I've every heard except for "Could You Be Loved". That one is cool, but sadly it isn't on this record.

2 Another artist I've always found massively overrated, and again I didn't feel like my listening here did much to change that. Reggae as a genre I've always found to be pretty boring musically, and with this album in particular I found myself pretty bored here about halfway through. I'm pretty sure a lot of people see Marley as a pretty profound lyricist, but I'm just not sure I hear it. I can see how people could get attached to his music, but it's just not for me. Could see listening maybe to some tracks in a tropical vacation scenario.

couple classics but not my favorite

this was boring as hell. sorry reggae bros... I do still enjoy the hits however, but that's about all i can take. Iron Lion Zion ftw.

Like at Them Belly Full, Rebel Music, Talkin' Blues og Revelution har samme intro. Halve albumet jo

Better than the other Bob Marley album I’ve heard but still I found it a bit boring

Felt more backgroundy than expected. Waiting for something to jump out. Great bass lines and backing-singers though. Shannah (2.25/5) Bill (2.5/5) Conor (2.5/5) (2.4/5)

Sorry, but these songs sound almost exactly the same. One or two is alright, but it’s just too repetitive to enjoy a full album.

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

Just not for me.

Just hearing the name Bob Marley evokes a pretty clear sonic picture in my mind of what kind of music I have to expect: It's Reggae all the way down. These expectations were met with a nodding approval by reality. And so it came to pass that I was bored. 2/5

This was a lot of Bob Marley for a person who does not care for Bob Marley.

2/5 not my cup of tea.

Marley uses a very successful formula, but relies on it all too often. The uber successful no woman no cry is great, but the similarity for all the songs is just a bit too monotonous. Maybe it needs more cowbell?

Very underwhelming. The well known songs weren't enough to bring this up

This is good if you're in the mood. I'm not usually in the mood.

Not my favourite genre by a long stretch but it was listenable.

Very little interest

Eh

Mucho reggae para mi un miércoles laboral

September 1, 2021 Not sure how I managed to get two Bob Marley albums in the first 30 days but I am not that into it. I think reggae is just not for me. I really only enjoyed "No Woman No Cry".

Glad I listened to it, but wont give it another spin.

Not in the mood for Bob today, sorry.

not my cup of tea

I HATE Reggae, but because it’s Bob Marley I’ll give it a 2.

it’s ok

Didn't hate it, didn't love it. I think really diving into the lyrics might help.

Did not enjoy, not into Reggae at all. I get that Bob Marley was very good at what he did, it's just not for me. Best: Natty Dread, No Woman No Cry Worst: So Jah S'eh, Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock)

Would probably like the album more if i listened to it with a cold one and on a hot sunny day at the beach, but im not really getting in the mood right now.

Pleasant enough,

Ok

Reggae wallpaper. The only criticism I have of this list so far is that there are a lot of repeats from the same artist. Feels like they could include more variety

Geen reaggea-fan, dit is niet slecht

Nope.

Not something I would listen to again. I'm not the biggest fan of reggae, but I appreciate its impact on pop culture and some of the other artists I like

found out, not really a fan of reggae

I struggle with Bob Marley. I am admittedly no reggae expert but to my untrained ears, musically a lot of this sounds like a lounge bar band pastiche of reggae, it's soulless at times. Sacrilege I know.

Een paar nummers wel leuk, maar daarna bgint het toch wel saai en erg kabbelend te worden.

Nice and chilled but hard to put it anywhere on par with the Legend compilation. Easy listening in the background, nothing more.

I’m not the biggest fan of this type of music

Not my style

Ну мне уж совсем не нравится боб марли

I’m not really sure what to make of the reggae genre. If you were to describe a chilled out evening and some tunes to suit, this would be the genre. The tunes are fun and the style is chilled, but the lyrics run deep. An all happy and fulfilling album.

2.5 | Confirma dos cosas que tenía muy claras. Bob Marley es el mejor compositor e interprete que el reggae tiene y el reggae no es para mí (o al menos no lo aguanto en dosis mayores a 5 minutos). Tiene canciones que musicalmente me pueden agradar bastante, el órgano tipo gospel en No Woman No Cry siempre me ha gustado, el blues en Rebel Music no lo veía venir, Bend Down Low cambia el ritmo y le pone algo de movimiento al disco. A pesar de todo y de que veo que es un disco muy bien hecho no le puedo dar más; el resto de las canciones con el sonsonete clásico del reggae que después de una canción simplemente no me pasa. Se siente como un disco más maduro que otras canciones que le conozco en cuanto a que todas las letras bastante llenas de politiquería y protesta creo bien realizadas. Me agradó aprender que en sus canciones normalmente registraba los derechos de autor a nombre ya fuera de familiares o amigos que le hubieran inspirado a escribir x canción, a manera de protegerlos y asegurarse de que siempre les quedara algo en caso de que su herencia se desmadrara, habla muy bien de él... aunque siga sin aguantar un disco completo suyo.

Not really my taste in music. Can see why someone else would, but not my cup of tea

Pasa totalmente desapercibido. No es malo y quizá por separado y de una por una algunas canciones me gustan, pero como disco entero me cuesta trabajo darle atención.

I pretty much hate all Reggae, so even a 2-star rating is a compliment. This is clearly good for what it is, but I can't do it.

Not really something I listen to, but can appreciate it

3/10, I just dont get Bob Marley. Not enough parody between every song.

I just don’t see the appeal, I see the talent, but just not something I have any desire to listen to

I've never liked Bob Marley but listening to it now, the real problem with it isn't that the music outright sucks - it's that it's been hijacked over the years by champagne hippies who are all style over substance. Not my thing, but not as obnoxious as expected. It's slow, introspective and probably good to sway along to if you're stoned - there's that swing feel wankers describe as "chill". I'm not a convert and I'll still avoid beach bars in Asia because of it, but I should redirect my hate away from Bob himself haha. 2/5.

Just not music that gives me joy. repetitive and boring

I'm not listening to that

Oh no, not Bob Marley. I've never really liked reggae, I did enjoy Marley's ska stuff but his straight ahead reggae is just too slow and repetitive to me. This album is not for me, I know people love it but it's nails on a chalkboard to me.

This was a very hard album to sit through and listen to it. Not my style at all

NOTA 1 MUSIC FAV: N/A

Not a reggae fan. Slightly better than ska. But what I really don't like is somebody famous for singing about 'one love' or peace but beats his wife and his girlfriend. Gets one because it can't get none.

i don’t like reggae so i didn’t listen

Reggae just nuh click wid mi. Mi know seh yuh can play it as background music sometimes, but it jus’ nuh catch mi vibe. All dem off-beat an’ stretched-out riddim dem, dem nuh hit no highs fi mi.

i mean the production is great but this genre is just not my style. wouldn’t come back to listen to this album.

muy lento

Nope

not the vibe

1 estrella aahhfk

Asa si asa

I guess I just don't like reggae. Sorry Bob.

bullshit i hate bob Marley

reggae is never going to get more than a 1 from me, just be glad i listened to it to make sure.

eugh

Boring AF

definitely not my style

Not really my type of music. Song #1: Too repetitive. Song #2: A classic, but I prefer other artists’ interpretations. Song #3: Nothing particularly interesting stands out. Song #4: Sounds the same from start to finish and is far too long. Song #5: Also not very interesting, though it feels slightly better than the previous tracks. Song #6: Possibly the most repetitive song on the album—I don’t think I can hear “natty dread” one more time. Songs #7–10: Same vibe as the rest of the album. Overall: 3/10 There’s nothing particularly compelling about this album. While listening, it felt like every song blended into the next, with very little variation throughout. The repetition is so heavy that the album could easily be cut in half without losing much. It’s not that the album is bad—it just didn’t resonate with me at all. That said, I’ll admit I didn’t pay close attention to the lyrics, which may have affected my experience.

這是中國政府。我們已經獲取了你的數據，並且準備出售。請向習近平主席匯款10000日圓比特幣。中國萬歲！

не дуже подобається таке звучання, я звісно могла б більше вникнути в суть альбому та його контекст, але не думаю, що є сенс змушувати себе слухати, що одразу не запало до душі 1⭐️

this was not for me

I've never liked Bob Marley and every time he comes up here I hope to have my mind change. Nope. Not this time.

Not my favourite

Meh

Pink Floyd sucks

Not for me.

Can't get around him being an abusive asshole long enough to listen to the album. I dunno, just not worth it imo.

A different kind of dread has befallen your dear reviewer. Thoroughly influential political figure who makes thoroughly terrible music appears on a Friday and my hopes of an unblemished long weekend fade into a puff of smoke. I shouldn’t have to say this, but just because I think Bob Marley sucks, doesn’t mean I deny his influence. If you are really passionate about this guy, then good for you. There are worse artists to enjoy, but when I say I’m “dreading” this, please know that I really am just a hater of the music, and with this endeavour, I don’t believe that will change. Revolutionize my mind, Bob. I need to understand what people see in your music. Lovely Up Yourself - Oh man. That was accidentally good for a second. The screaming and the lack of shitty reggae guitar was cool! It settles into the rut Ive come to expect from this squad. No Woman No Cry - No Marley No Cry. Yes Marley Yes Painful Sobbing. Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) - Another song that sounded very cool for the first 5-10 seconds. Now, this song has a cool message and isn’t as bad as the others. That praise the equivalent of me giving this record a 5. Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Roadblock) - when I was a kid, I got a multi-coloured harmonica at Old Navy. Maybe it was GAP. Anyway. I would pull out smoother runs on that thing as a borderline toddler. This is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. So Jah S’Eh - I could sleep if this werent so annoying! Because uhh I’m bored. Yeah you got it. Natty Dread - Repetition really is the recipe for reggae. A recipe that has caused me a great deal of physical distress. Bend Down Low - More of the s(h)ame Talkin’ Blues - Just stop saying the same thing over and over again. Please? Revolution - If Revolution had cooler music, maybe we’d have done it by now. Am-A-Do - AAAAAHHHHH. Do it with your bad self (x76). It’s so profound. I can’t do this kind of music. It doesn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form. It is repetitive to the point of nausea and it seems to be more about feeling good than the protest it is purported to be. I don’t know. I’ve always preferred my revolutionary music to be wrapped in angry package. This seems placid. Listless. Like “who cares about the revolution. As long as we’re havin’ fun!!!” I’m not having fun. Have a great weekend everybody. The only time I could technically pursue what I want to, but I’m frozen in a perpetual anxious state due to the fact that the infinite resumes on Tuesday. Give thanks for the great corporate society we have built for ourselves! 0.5 HIGHLIGHTS: the first 5 seconds of two songs.

Just not my cup of tea at all unfortunately

I spent two weeks of the summer of 1995 in Jamaica on a missions trip with my church youth group. We spent most of that time in the Jamaican backcountry building a school for deaf children. The last two or three days of the trip we spent in Montego Bay. It was a ton of fun, but there was one thing that bummed me out about the trip. The only music you heard was Bob Marley, and it was unavoidable. On a bus or a taxi? Bob Marley on the radio. Walking around in the street? Bob fucking Marley blasting over someone’s boombox. Inside a restaurant or in the hotel lobby? Bob Marley. In the hospital, Bob Marley wafting in through the open window (I know this because a buddy of mine got appendicitis on this trip). Even in the mountains, in the middle of nowhere, in a town with a population of 15 and no electricity or running water, Bob Marley seemed to be carried on the wind to grind any enjoyment you might have had for his music into the dirt. Bob Marley is a cultural icon in Jamaica, and seemingly no one else. There is nothing else. In Jamaica, all is Bob Marley and Bob Marley is all there is. And now, 30 years later, I still hate reggae. It’s not fair to other reggae artists. It’s not even fair to Bob Marley, who really has no control over his legacy postmortem. But I fucking hate reggae now thanks to Bob Marley and my time in Jamaica. 1/5

Boring.

No thanks

So disappointed. Plenty of different instruments but the music all sounded the same.

The only Reggae song I've ever liked was SL2' 'On a Ragga Tip'. Badaya badaya bad ddd die deya. Marley is poo.

Not my style

Didn’t love it

I had Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" a while ago and I went into this one with the same openness, to maybe be surprised by Reggae, one more time (however unlikely because I know of course what Bob Marley sounds like). But no. Unlike Legalize It, this is precisely what I expected: to be unfathomably bored. And worse. There's possibly something I'm missing in the lyrics or the whole thing's cultural or whatever importance but I can't be arsed to look or hear into it. This is the lamest, tamest, and accordingly most tainted by irritating superficial Reggae bros music in the history of everything. The absolute cliché of a sound I'm not too fond of to begin with. All these blunts, for this!? Coincidentally, I played another Reggae album from a list of records released in 1974, the same year, just yesterday. Out of curiosity, an artist I'd never heard of, super high rated. "Peace and Love - Wadadasow" from Dadaweh. Makes me deduct another point here.

Reggae

1. lively - 1 2. no cry - 1 3. belly full - 1 4. rebel - 1.5 5. zo jah - 1 6. dread - 1 7. bend - 1 8. bluez - 1.5 9. revolution - 1.5 10. do - 1

Aïe, je connais Bob Marley avec No Woman, No Cry, mais je n'apprécie pas. Le premier morceau ne me le fait pas plus apprécier, il est tellement répétitif. Allez je me laisse 2 dernières chances ... Définitivement non, trop répétitif, et je n'aime pas du tout cette rythmique à contretemps, quasiment le même dans chaque morceau. Je m'arrête au 4eme. => 1/5

I'm allergic to Reggae, particularly the melodic stuff that uni tossers 'love' as they get baked

this wasn't as bad as i was expecting, but then again the basic ingredients of reggae are like nails on a chalk board to me

So boring and too upbeat and cheerful. I don't understand this sort of music. The end was particularly painful

I truly cannot get behind it its just so boring to me.

My glasses broke recently. I purchased a specific screwdriver for it but then lost the screw. The next week I got screws for it but none of them fit, so I had to have MAMA bring them to the eyeglass store. Now my glasses are fixed.

Honestly. Halfway through the album I was looked to see how many songs were left. It was super boring to me and not my jam.

Not really my thing

Unpopular take: Reggae sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. I listened to the first song (I like the horns) - but I couldn't go any further. SUE ME! :shrug emoji:

Absolutely not my taste

Not into reggae.

Lot of respect for him and his music, but personally nothing about reggae clicks. Couldn't finish a single song without getting bored. Calling themselves the Wailers is very accurate.

I couldn't listen all the way through. This just wasn't my cup of tea.

People like all kinds of things. Some of them like this.

Maybe I just don't like reggae

Too light and fluffy for me. I love early Bob / Wailers, but this sounds overdone and over-produced. I should probably read the lyrics more closely, but I still don't 'get' No Woman No Cry. No, YOU Lively Up Yourself.

Þessi heillar ekki. Með árunum hefur leiðinn gagnvart Marley og félögum aukist.

I really don't like (this?) reggae. Sounds like simplistic (and stupid) children's music, and endlessly derivative of the same ingredients. I don't like Marley's voice, or the horrible backing singing, or the pidgin lyrics. Just fucking sucks

Non seulement c'est pas terrible, mais en plus c'est très vite chiant.

Reggae nein danke

This is another music genre I don't get and not a fan. Maybe good background music, for sitting by the ocean, drinking a frozen Pina colada and smoking a nice, skunk smelling joint. But I'm in my office and thought this is not very good. I'll give it a 1 because his son was a pretty good linebacker at the school of convicts, Miami Florida. Suck it Canes.

Niet volledig geluisterd. Natty Dread was de druppel.

I really don't like moppermarley's nagging voice + reggae is not really my genre so did not enjoy it.

Beuh
