Exodus

added most of these to my reggae playlist

That's reggae! Very cool. A great album. I've never listened to it in full before. Now I remember why I actually like reggae. Peter Tosh's album from this series didn't convince me. But this album is great. I find it remarkable that the first 10 tracks only make up about half of the album. The last 2 12" tracks are great. The long version of Jamming in particular already has clear DUB elements, which I really like. 4/5

arguably, this is the most classic and well-renowned reggae record of all time. it’s relaxing, laid-back beats allow its listener to settle comfortably into the songs, with bob marley’s soothing vocals topping it all off. the emphasis on every other beat, omnipresent throughout this record, make it flow nicely, but with enough variation in each track as not to make it become boring.

Great album

Better than I thought, not my favourite genre-wise but good

Well, this made One Love a worse movie. Favourite track: The Heathen.

Classic

This is Bob's masterpiece. A musical description of utopia.

Survivalin jälkeen paras bob! 4/5

i’m not a big reggae guy at all but it’s so obvious how this is the best of the best

Great album with one of my favourite songs on it of all time. Jamming 8/10

not one song on here was that good

Love reggae, and Bob Marley is King! Awesome artist, band and songs.

4☆/5 08.19.2024

Really like this one. It’s a hot summer day!

This album is awesome. Bob Marley is great.

Reggae to a white audience ranges from quasi-blackface idiots saying "ya mon smoke some ganja" to elevating Bob Marley to the status of prophet to rejecting Marley as too mainstream, and then finally to recognizing Marley as a great figurehead in the genre. I'd like to think I have achieved the final status as a white audience member, and so I come to Exodus. Words cannot express how damned sick of "Three Little Birds" and "People Get Ready" I am. However, most of this album is a genius politically aware makeout album--no mean feat. Personally I prefer the melancholy Kaya and the angry boogie of Uprising, but this is pretty great album once you get past the greatest hits found on "Legend."

Some classics here. I didn't know I knew "Waiting in Vain". I guess I had never caught the title. Good song though. When Bob Marley sings the phrase "Three little birds", it drives me up the wall though. I just don't get that timing.

Very good

Vamos ahora con la recomendación de hoy: un artista y un género que nunca terminó de engancharme. En un momento de juventud quiso hacerlo y después, solté. Disco chill, ideal para escuchar de fondo mientras se trabaja y con varios de los hits de Bob Marley. Track favorito para entrar en trance y bailar: Exodus.

Roots Reggae. Man, Bob was such a gifted person. I adored this album, it was so warm and comfortable. It all blended together at one point, but I think that was a good thing. Nothing quite like it that I've heard. Light 4.5/5

4 maybe 5

3-4

When I was listening to track #3, I had to wonder what the fuzz is all about... the first 3 songs fit perfectly on the soundtrack of a '70s porn flick. Then Exodus starts playing, and the rest was just a lovely blur!

Very good incredible love bob

Levy on alusta asti hyvä, mutta nimibiisistä lähtien pienoinen ihme. Marleyn kyky säveltää ja olla säveltämättä melodiaa on edelleen hämmästyttävä. Ja rakasti näitä kappaleita tai ei, lähes kaikki niistä porautuvat osaksi muistia - joko aktiivista tai latenttia.

Pre-listening thoughts: Bob Marley is such an interesting pick. Like I feel like everyone knows Bob Marley’s music to an extent but have you ever met a Bob Marley super-fan? Maybe I’m just too young to know them but I’m curious about this album cause I never hear anyone talking about Bob Marley deep cuts. Post/during listening thoughts: The instrumentation on this is actually really nice and lush. Lots of different sonic layers which I appreciate. I think Bob Marley’s lyricism is the main reason why this record is on this list though. He really had a gift for conveying a message to the masses in a way that didn’t create fear around social/political/religious issues but rather simply brought awareness and sparked conversation. This is a great snapshot of the social issues in the 70s and Marley’s own turmoil surrounding them. It feels akin to listening to Vietnam protest songs where I feel like I’m catapulted into a time I never lived in. The actual music is obviously very reggae. I’m not the biggest reggae fan but this album was a pleasant listen. Reggae can feel very repetitive, but this album had such varied instrumentation and such captivating backing vocals I never got bored or tired of the sound. Album cover is kind of giving legend of Zelda ocarina of time on the N64 game cover. Exodus (song) is 7.5 mins?!?! Crazy bro. This album also has a bunch of Bob Marley’s most popular songs (Three Little Birds, Jammin, One Love), so I already knew a nice chunk going in. 8.5/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: yes I did Fav tracks: Natural Mystic, Exodus, Waiting in Vain Least fav tracks: n/a

Good

Great vibe. Whole album reminded me of a vacation. He’s always an artist I forget how much I like

Good

Righteous, indignant, uplifting

Class

Jammin

Um dos grandes trabalhos do grupo, marcou uma geração e tratou com maestria e humildades temáticas que são relevantes até os dias atuais.

Had this album in various forms for decades. It ages really well, still sounds fresh and engaging, a reggae classic

Muy bueno

An easy 4/5. It's not often I'll want to put this on, but if I want some reggae for whatever reason, this would be it.

Summer

Have never been a big reggae fan but this definitely challenged my tastes in a good way. Some very interesting layering and Bobs voice is incredible.

Some great songs, great story behind it too.

4.5!

Can’t go wrong w bob marley

"if you listen carefully now, you will hear" ✍️✍️✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Definitely the best Bob Marley album, a cut above the others on this list. If for some reason I wanted to listen to reggae this would be the album I'd choose. As said before Bob Marley is an icon and the story around this album is similarly mythic. It is largely samey but I think that can be forgiven for the genre, and there is more diversity here than the other albums.

Is Exodus the only track that I actually know on this album? Ohhhhh we jamming! What are the first 4 tracks of this? Everything after that is FIRE!

Don’t worry be happy

Great album, chilled

This was my first album upon signing up. Not disappointed at all. Had to work today and thought I'd listen to it. Don't usually listen to reggae, but it took me to the beach, relaxing, enjoying some great music by a talented musician, all while having to work. So it made my day so much better!

This almost feels like a greatest hits album. The whole back half is most of their biggest songs. Though I'll admit I knew "Waiting in Vain" from the Annie Lennox cover first. It's pleasant to listen to (and sing along to the ones I know). It's interesting that the album starts out heavier and gets lighter as it goes on — going from politics and religious themes to love songs. It's usually the opposite. There's some great guitar on here ("Natural Mystic" and "The Heathen"). The background vocals and the horns are nice too. The sound is an interesting mix of traditional reggae but with some flourishes of 70s funk and soul sounds that wouldn't be out of place on a Curtis Mayfield or Isaac Hayes track. Since my main complaint with reggae is that it often sounds too formulaic, this was a nice way to keep the tracks sounding fresh. I do sort of wish the sequence of the tracks was mixed up a bit. Rather than having two distinct halves, where the love songs in the second half do somewhat blend together, interspersing them would have made for a more interesting listening experience. 4/5

There are some really good classic tunes on this album but Turn Your Lights Down Low was my favorite track that I hadn't heard before. Three Little Birds is THE Bob Marley feel good song!

4.5 Talk about getting into the groove! My last two reviews (In A Silent Way and Blue Lines) remarked on how easy it was to get lost in those albums. Feels kind of silly now that I am listening to this one. In addition to the hits, happy to have heard So Much Things To Say.

Great groove through entirety of album. Nice vibe with meaningful lyrics.

Bob is always welcome

Classic. Not my usual thing but really enjoyed it. Some absolute classics but it’s all good.

3.8 - It's good. I don't think I love it like others do, find it a bit too repetitive in parts, but its good easy listening

Pretty much what I expected, though I can't say I've listened the album previous. Individual tracks were wonderful even some I had never heard before. As an album, it never got a sense of cohesion.

I'd give it 4.5 if I could. I already own this album, but it's one I'm always happy to listen to again. The songs are simple musically, but the sheer depth of feeling in the performances really elevates them. Love it.

Something about this music. I love it.

Jammin

Schöne Musik, die gute Vibes verbreitet. Kann man sich auch heute noch anhören.

Smokey college room soundtrack- this might as well be the ‘best of Marley’ compilation. Little bit repetitive and formulaic, but super pleasant. I feel like there’s a bit of the 90s lens on this to get past.

I enjoyed this very much and the first album of Bob Marley and The Wailers I've listened to besides Legend.

Lyrics get a bit repetitive but is very light listening

Mellow vibes, y'all. What's not to like about these jams. Didn't know religion was so central to his music, but the political activism is welcomed.

Marley's music is just good.

Vibes

Fun stuff

It sounded just as good as the first time I heard it and a white kids University dorm room while smoking weed in my teens

Relaxing music - only 4 stars, because there are better albums from Boy Marley

groovy baby!

I'm not really a huge fan of reggae in general, but how could you possibly dislike this? Some absolute classics, and the remaining tracks are more than good enough.

Way better than I expected

Enjoyed the album

We're jammin mon!

My guy bob

Should’ve listened to this album a long time ago. Almost like Nirvana where I’ve heard all the classic hits so many times, but not what surrounded it on the album, and being really impressed. Great sunny day headphone listen with positive chill vibes.

Reggae needs to catch me in the right mood usually, which is just what happened this morning. Splendid listen, and I wouldn't be surprised if I started becoming more of a Reggae fan eventually.

Yep I get it Bob Marley is great. Enough with his albums though.

I'm only sort of casually familiar with Bob Marley. I mean I know all the songs that everyone knows and have heard a few of his albums randomly over the years. I've always really dug his music but never felt the need to go out and actively listen to it all. I really liked this album, it's a total mood album. Always glad to hear Jamming, that's probably been my favorite song of his since I first heard it. The rhythms in his music are so great. I don't know what it is but it just makes you sort of relax a bit, and that's funny to say because a lot of his songs are about such serious topics - poverty, oppression, spirituality, revolution, and just general struggles of Jamaica. Great music to sort of just have on in the background when you're doing other things but still fun to sit and really listen. This specific album has a lot going for it - great sound and production, interesting instrumentation, brilliant lyrics and signing. It's super tight but sort of loose and free at the same time. I love how some of it is almost like a reggae/funk fusion. 3.75/5

Classic stuff

Laid-back but complex. Just a solid album overall.

I was familiar w/ Bob Marley, and own his compilation “Legacy”. Fully 1/2 of this album is on “Legacy”, so I had a high degree of familiarity with those, which comprise some of the best (and best-known) reggae songs from the 70’s. So what of the rest of it? Well, obviously, the best songs made it to Legend, but the rest of it is good. If you wat to own 1 reggae album, "Legend" gets the edge over this. But this is still very solid, easy 4/5

Pretty strong side B

Sempre good vibes e musiche reggae che mi mandano nell'iperuranio. Lo amo

really wanna listen to this watching the sunrise and tokin it up. really enjoyed jamming and so much things to say. waiting in vain was also good, albeit lyrically more so than musically.

that's a classic

Hazy college memories

All you need is... joint?

This is genuinely about the only reggae stuff I can tolerate. It’s an excellent album, and I really enjoy it.

Changed my mind about reggae!

molto meglio di Catch a Fire, molto meno monotono e molto più interessante!

This album grew on me. I'm not super into reggae, but I found myself starting to really dig the sound in the latter half. The beginning felt a little samey but improved as it went. 7/10 Would I listen again? Probably, but I'd definitely need to be in the mood for it.

I knew the 4 popular songs: Exodus, Jamming, Three Little Birds, One Love. Interesting to learn that there was an assassination attempt on Marley not long before this album, that there was such political upheaval in Jamaica and Marley was caught up in it.

My enjoyment of this album really underscores what a shame it is that Marley's music has been high-jacked as the soundtrack for every college stoner.

Was surprised by how few of these were ruined by becoming commercial jingles (and it's really only 'One Love,' which is still so catchy it's no wonder it became the vehicle for promoting Jamaica as a place to visit.) Enjoyed the songs I didn't know as well (Natural Mystic, Exodus), and was surprised to enjoy the familiar ones despite their over exposure in college dorm rooms and on any beach sporting palapas.

A lot of people know Bob Marley as the “one love” and “peace” icon. In reality, a lot of his songs are very political and spiritual. This album has a lot of his more well known hits that fit into the peace-and-love category. Still great songs, I just prefer some of his other albums. This one is a bit overproduced.

The album for Bob Marley fans.

Not really my top genre but the second half of the album is packed with familiar hits.

This was pretty okay! There was never a moment that I wished I wasn’t listening to this, but I also wasn’t particularly drawn in by any songs. I did enjoy the few songs that I knew.

Truly one of the greats

Never has an artist captured the sound of a setting like Bob Marley. I swear listening on a cold rainy day actually warms me up. Such positivity and optimism in his music.

Первая половина трэков (социальных и политических) бьёт лирикой, но мало чем друг от друга отличается музыкально и мелодически. А вот вторая половина (лиричная и позитивная) сразу как то заиграла красками как в мелодике, так и в аранжировке, насколько это возможно в рамках жанра и альбома. В качестве оценки лишь повторюсь: БОБ МАРЛИ - НАШ СЛОНЯРА

Great album. Loved listening to this

Good old Bob Marley! Some perennial favorites on this one but also some that were new to me.

I another great Marley album, ran thru it a couple times and I really enjoyed it. A few of my favourite Marley tracks are on this one. Three Little Birds, Jamming and One Love though Natural Mystic and So Much Things to Say are also awesome. Honestly, the only track I don’t really care for is Turn Your Lights Down Low, there’s something about a Marley sex track that just doesn’t work. I don’t know, great stuff otherwise. 4 stars

very nice 4 star

Incredibly chill and welcoming music. Not always my cup of tea, but the instrumentation by the New Wailers is incredibly delicate and balances out Bob's impassioned voice. Definite religious inspiration shining throughout the entire project, which I can totally dig, and can understand from a man who just survived an assassination attempt. Well worth listening to.

Movement of Ja people! Bob is a reggae god

An extra star for Bob because it upset Jim so much

You would have to be heartless not to enjoy the dub reggae of Bob.

Generally a pretty solid album: a defining and great example of its genre. Marley's uniquely captivating lyricism and vocals are no-doubt the carrying feature, but the instrumentation is adequate too (if a bit uncreative at times). Groovy. Favourite Track: Waiting In Vain Specific Rating: 3.6/5

Such a fun album. It put me in a great mood on this snowy day.

The Rasta's best album. A bit back loaded but I believe that was done intentionally. Great to listen to at a protest or at a cabana on the beach.

There's so much things I could say about what this album makes me think about, from the fact that Marley was nearly assassinated before a concert against political violence, to my feelings about Marley's popular image is these days... But la-la-la-la, lemme just stick to the review: this is my favorite Wailers album. From all the hits on the back end to stuff I feel isn't paid much attention popularly up front. It's good to chill to, it's good to think about your spirit to... It's both sides of Bob, right here. And seriously, I'm doin' y'all a favor not writing a whole damn essay about...

haha funni weed man :) (But seriously, this is an awesome distillation of what makes reggae such a compelling genre.)

As an entire album, it’s a really nice 4, but I think tracks 6-10 by themselves are a 5. I just wasn’t really vibing with the first 4 tracks too much; they felt a little slow, a little too lyrically dense, a little preachy, and not quite “poppy” enough. Track 5 started to bring in the energy, but it was about 2 or 3 minutes too long. Track 6 and onward, though… hoo. That’s really good stuff. Big difference from the front half and the back half; the more melodic instrumentation on the latter half of the album just sucked me in and had me FEELING that music really deeply. I think the incredibly solid (but still just kind of OK for me) first half does drag it down to a 4 for me, but it’s no lower than that. Really good stuff here.

We've had a few from Bob at this point, and while I don't know if we need all of the ones we've gotten, this one feels important. Started slow for me, but the back half really picked up, with a couple recognizable hits among the comfortable reggae jams. It clicked for me on this one that yeah, Bob Marley really was a great artist and not just a stoner messiah. Favorite tracks: Jamming, Waiting in Vain, Three Little Birds, One Love. Album art: Probably the weakest part of this album, it's just the name. The text/font is cool though, and the colors work. But not very interesting. 4/5

A few belters on here. Waiting in Vain is an all time favourite, and Turn Your Lights Down Low would fit nicely on any sexy-time mixtape.

Classic.

Only knew the hits before which are obviously great, but the rest more than holds up to that mark

This album has some of Bob Marleys most well known songs, ones that have become genre defining in their own right. Though the full album can sound a bit repetitive at times, the genuine joy a track like Three Little Birds or One Love produce demonstrate exactly why Marley's music and legacy have endured for so long.

This will always remind me of John's tape and making out on the bench seats in his car. Awkward now since Bob Marley is pro-Zionism. Oof.

Not a bad chill album. I'll probably come back to this when i'm feeling like listening to relaxing music.

So good to listen all the way through. Art that makes me proud

Good album.

Great blend of Reggae and rock. The back half of the album is my favorite, but the front half doesn't miss either. The opening two tracks pull you in to it. Turn Your Lights Down Low is my favorite track on the album 3.5/5

Okay. Overraskende at det var så fedt! Et af de albums jeg har hørt 2 gange af ren lyst. Det svinger, vugger, groover, bare der ud af.

Fun, chill album. Love me some reggae and this is 100% classic. No one does it like Bob Marley! Four stars.

Nice chill album, cant go wrong with Bob Marley. I can never be stressed listening to this style. Low volume and groovy. 4 stars

Classic

Not my favorite from Bob & the Wailers but still pretty great.

Superb. I've been really into reggae recently, and Bob is obviously one of the greatest of all time. Rest in peace, homie.

Chilled sounds, strong messages

Reggae classic

Fabulous album. A classic staple for a native Californian life. Really good sunshine vibes.

Very relaxing offbeat music. Good songs.

I'm here for the hits, the rest are ok. Reggae doesn't move me, I'm afraid the songs mostly sound the same to my ear. But on a warm summer day, it can't be beat.

A classic , every Marley album should be here.

You could include every Marley album on this list. Exodus is full of great songs. I wonder if Toots and Tosh made this list?

A classic and quintessential reggae album!

So chill✌️

Jätte swag

Yeah, this is definitely good (reggae) music. Fun to listen to at least, and a nice moderate energy level. Lyrically there were some poignant songs on here, but I wasn’t focused enough to really soak it in. Musically nothing upset me on this album.

Very nice album, introduced me to a bunch of new songs and had just a very nice vibe to it in general :)

- so uplifting and inspiring - beforehand, i knew of jamming and three little birds - “every little thing is gonna be alright…”

Nice, proper vibesy

I don't think I've ever consciously listened to this album. Obviously heard Jamming and Three Little Birds! It feels immediately recognisable to me, and very energetic AND laid-back. I guess that's because so much electronic music (especially in dub, dubstep & drum and bass) is influenced by it or samples it. Enjoyed very much, solid.

Waiting in vain was the best track I'd not heard before. Strong from start of finish!

Great! I really like "Jamming"

Nice vibe!

Nice and peaceful album. Has a surprising amount of depth to it

This is my second wailers album after catch a fire which I thought was excellent, this was equally as good but you can see how the style had evolved, obviously a few more well known songs on this one, I wasnt into reggae much before this but enjoying it a lot more now

Good, reggae music makes me feel good.

Nice way to start the early-morning drive to work

I've never really delved into Marley, just heard a ton of stuff through osmosis. I enjoy the performances on this, the right blend of relaxed and tight. What else is there to say that hasn't been said before? Favorite tracks: "Jamming", "Exodus"

This was my first proper listen to a full Bob Marley album, and it did not disappoint. Exodus flows brilliantly from start to finish. The songs work so well together, balancing political messages with warmth, groove and melody. There is a laid back confidence throughout, but also real purpose in the writing. Three Little Birds is one of my favourites. It is simple, uplifting and timeless. The whole album has that same easy feel, yet there is depth beneath the surface. The rhythms are infectious and the songwriting is strong across the board. I came into this curious and came away genuinely impressed. A great album that fully lives up to its reputation. Favourite song: Three Little Birds Least favourite: None that stood out negatively Album artwork: Instantly recognisable and perfectly in keeping with the era and the sound

Very very good, but I got a little bored by the latter half. Despite that, Bob Marley is iconic and influential.

Nice album. 4/5

4 great album. Some the the first songs were just ok

Great album and an enjoyable break from the "classic rock" genre. Not my everyday go to, but it was a nice listen at work.

Loved it

Very good.

Good album. Best Track: Three Little Birds

it’s kinda wild how many songs i know from this album without ever owning it or playing it myself

Great album from and this legend. Starred several songs. Puts me in a summer mood.

I generally feel pretty neutral toward reggae, but this was a very solid album with more complexity than I expected.

Bobby

Con Marley en la cumbre creativa y unos Wailers soberbios, "Exodus" es quizás su disco más redondo, con un puñado de canciones impresindibles en cualquier repaso a la música del jamaicano. Es el caso de dos himnos repletos de sensibilidad humanista: la canción que da título al álbum y "One Love/People Get Ready" -una de las que más me gusta del disco-, o de "Jamming", "Three Little Birds" -otra de las que más me gusta- y "Turn Your Lights Down Low".

Great album

The real bob marley

You can’t not like Marley when he comes on.

This was the perfect album to start this journey with as Bob Marley is someone I hold a great deal of respect for but have avoided actually listening to most of my life. There's an entire obnoxious culture industry built around him, like many great artists and thinkers, that strips away any actual meaning and message of there work in favor of something easily marketable (in this instance, phone cases for the most annoying stoner you knew in middle school). That aside, this was a great introduction to his music. It will require a few lessons and a deeper research to understand the full meaning behind a few of the songs but in general it conveys some very strong emotions. As much as i hate to resort to a word like 'vibe' already, it really is the thing that comes to mind when listening to this. This is music from a man who believed in a better world and you can feel it genuinely trhough the songs. Wish i had more to say but reggae is obviously not my forte so I'll just say I'm happy to have already broadened my horizons.

Solid album. Reggae isn’t always my jam, but Bob Marley is always Jamin’ for me. 4/5

Class - could go on forever and not lose quality.

Great reggae album, the backbone of the classic compilation album "Legend".

Say what you want about the reggae rhythm. Bob Marley is a poet, telling wonderful stories.

Good vibes all around

Great album. The definitive Bob Marley Experience. Great reggae music to bop your head to

I remember being a little kid and always asking my parents to check out a kids "world music" CD (maybe Putumayo) and it had Three Little Birds on it - that's the only one I remember, but I would always want to listen to that one. Gave up on listening to this a couple of times because of the weaker beginning, but there's a lot of meat in the latter half. Obviously some big hits, but I also really like the more R&B/pop inspired songs too.

I'm not really a reggae connoisseur but I know what I like and I love this. Expansively produced with Marley wailing triumphantly over everything; music of love and joy. The type of album you can listen to over and over. Best song: One Love / People Get Ready

What can I say? Brilliant album. I was never a huge Bob Marley guy but the man was a genius and he pieced together excellent music.

Probablement l'un des meilleurs albums de Bob Marley. 9/10

super chill but not really my vibe

Knew more songs than I thought I would. Good grooving music.

Great reggae

Quintessential reggae.

The best!

Je suis toujours étonné par la "facilité" d'écouter Bob Marley & The Wailers ; le style reggae est évidemment associé à une certaine détente, mais elle ne me semble pas artificielle. Il y a quelque chose dans la voix principale et les chœurs.

Good album, not something I'd want to sit and listen to by itself, but great for mellow background music to chill to

Really good to just chill and listen to this.

Not my favorite Marley (probably Rastaman Vibration for sentimental reasons or Burnin') but legendary for a reason. The whole side B is nonstop (Jamming > Waiting In Vain > Turn Your Lights Down Low > Three Little Birds > One Love / People Get Ready)

Another super solid record from Bob Marley & The Wailers. The formula doesn’t ever really change, but once again the political and socially charged songs are still mostly done right, the love songs remain gorgeous, the music and rhythms are hypnotic, and the production is excellent.

Great album. Great to wake up to and set yourself up with a good mood. 8/10

Just great chill Bob Marley music, I feel like there's not much more I can describe it with. I thought the first half of the album was weaker but the second half is so strong is makes up for that. Some of my favorite of his songs are here including Three Little Birds. 7/10

By now Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were long gone and Bob was on a tear spreading the word of reggae. This might be the crowning achievement, a classic album of memorable songs, "Jamming" and "Three Little Birds" being the obvious highlights, but the whole album is a solid groove.

Listened to 3 ish songs. It’s definitely Bob Marley all right

to be totally honest i got bored......i can't fault it but i liked it less than i thought

Not a reggae fan but I still love this album for the opener and „Jamming“. Listened to the record at least a thousand times in my teenage days.

Love Marley!

A classic album. I like a lot of the songs on it, but while the rest is okay, none of them are really bad.

Lots of familiar classics. Didn’t know so many of bob’s hits were from the same album. Perfect vacation listening.

Reggae, super, 1977

Obviously heard of Bob Marley, and do quite enjoy Reggae here and there. Quite liking the vibe right off the bat, and reckon I might actually add this to my library.

I want to say not for every mood, but listening to this just forces you into a certain state of mind. I wouldn't choose it every day, but it's got so many classic tracks you can't deny the album's lasting sound and impact. Fav Tracks: Waiting in Vain, Jamming, Three Little Birds, One Love

4/5 I liked 'Catch a fire' a bit more, but this was great as well!

Relaxing brilliant

This is probably the peak of classic reggae for me. Bob Marley's best work and catchiest tunes. We be jammin! 4/5.

A fun listen and my first time listening to Bob Marley.

Favorite tracks: Natural Mystic, Jamming, Waiting In Vain, Three Little Birds Rating: 4/5

Really unique. Quality.

Bob kertoo mitä kansa tekee.. bob itse jumalana kaiken yläpuolella heh näkee asiat obj.. kuin meikä poika konsanaan.. amplified on this album.. siitä +1 star vrt natty dread.. alettu ymmärtää.. juurikin natty dreadiin on aikalailla kaikella tapaa paljon varmempi tuotos.. ei pelkää enää turvatua blues kikkailuihin ollaan täysin raggae ja bold oma ääni..

Every little thing gonna be alright

let's get together and feel alright :0 beautiful album Rating: 8.1/10

You know you've made it big when you survive an assassination attempt. After making waves in Jamacia, Bob Marely nearly loses his life with a poorly-aimed gunshot to the arm. He would flee to London soon after, hence the name Exodus. Exodus is the peak of Bob Marley and the Wailers: smooth, groovy, and full of purpose. An incredibly pleasant listen that makes me appreciate the finer elements of reggae.

perfect album outside of a few songs i didn't enjoy. but great top to bottom

Šis mani aizveda atpakaļ uz laiku, kad devītās klases latviešu valodas runāšanas eksāmenā vajadzēja stāstīt par kādu sevis izvēlētu tēmu, mana - Roberts Nesta Mārlijs. I do enjoy reggae from time to time and I think that Bob is one of the best ones. Overall this album was a bit boring. But three little birds will never get old 💖🐦💖🐦💖🐦💖 cuz every little thing is gonna be allright 🎶💖🐦 Three little birds - 10/10 All other songs on this album 6/10 I'd really love to visit Jamaica sometime!

Nice sounds

I don't fw reggae. It was chill and moody but boring.

Really good, opened my ears to reggae properly. Great tracks, easy listening

very good album

Solid

420

Pretty much the gold standard of reggae. Chill vibe, island felling.

Good reggea, stoner vibes

Classic

Good, but very repetitive.

I don’t listen to a lot of reggae so maybe I should give this another shot. I really liked it but I feel like I’m still missing something.

Probably Bob’s best produced and well known album. The songs are great and feature some of his best work, though I prefer some of his other stuff more. 4.5/5 Will listen again

Jeg er i utgangspunktet ikke veldig glad i reggae, men fanker'n dette er bra saker. Albumet gjør meg i enda bedre humør, og låta "Three Little Birds" er fantastisk bra.... "Baby don't worry. Everything is gonna be alright"

The back half of this album comes in strong! Jamming, Three little birds, and One Love. All time album 4.5/5

Liked it

very funky but i had fun relaxing to this album in la. obviously it’s has classics like three little birds and jamming, however i enjoyed natural mystic and gultiness

Em dúvida entre jamming ou one love, como melhores musicas do album Good album, bom para apenas existir enquanto tomo água de coco deitado na praia

Reggaezinho classico. O álbum perfeito para passar uma tarde tranquila curtindo o vento e a vida. • natural mystic melhor de todas • vou ficar a semana inteira cantarolando three little birds

Filled with classic tunes I've heard for years. Reminds me of buying "Legend" while in New Zealand for the first time (2000? 2001?). Super strong album. Also surprised it came out in 1977, would have thought 5 years earlier. Also really impressive how the island of Jamaica created a musical style that shook the world (at least for a bit). Still shakes mountain towns and white kid dormrooms in Boulder lol.

Understand why some think it's too samey, but to me there was enough variation going on in the background to keep my attention throughout. It's also just fun to listen to.

So many hits take attention away from a solid album. Torn between a 4 and a 5. Let's call it 4 and a half stars.

Simplesmente Bob Marley. Muito foda e várias pedradas como Jamming, Exodus, Three Little Birds e One Love

Album enregistré aux UK après une tentative d'assassinat. C'est celui qui l'a mis su'a map. Solide album

Obvious classic, can just jam and chill

Bastante bueno. De inmediato se nota un buen álbum. Agradable sorpresa escuchar a Bob Marley más de fondo.

good vibes got a 48 on a menders quiz lololol but the rest of my day was pretty good

Oh man my subwoofers love this album. My walls are moving.

Sono sempre stato un grande fan di Bob Marley. Viva la droga.

Brani Preferiti: - "Exodus" - "Three Little Birds" - "One Love" Note: Un classico che contiene buon parte dei migliori singoli di Marley, è l'album che lo ha reso internazionale. Da piccolo ascoltavo canzoni di Bob Marley, crescendo mi son dimenticato del reggae e i miei gusti musicali si sono evoluti, ritornare ora a riascoltare questo genere mi ha fatto capire che non mi fa impazzire, ma ciò non toglie che questo è un album ben fatto.

Reading the other reviews there are a lot of people that "don't like reggae" but "love this album". Whilst not a genre I'm overly familiar with, of course all the hits are here. The blend of "chilling at a beach shack" with the hint of spiritual overtones is clearly very impressive and there's a lot to love here. Stick it on in the background on a cold winter's day, or whilst grilling on the BBQ on a hot day - it still works.

4. Pretty chill album. Title track is a little boring and feels way too long.

Fun album with some true classics.

Pretty chill vibes. Some of the songs were too repetitive for me.

Such a great album. I love all the songs.

Good, not perfect, Good lyrics but in the end it's just a good reggae album

Excellent

Inspiring... to kill myself for my worthlessness... inspiring to be more. To be positive and lead and grow. Title song hit hard. I felt a dam break. It drowned me and washed my useless body ashore.

Have listened before. It’s good.

Chill vibes

Initial thoughts: Title track (track 5), was low probably the weakest song. But then its followed up by the classic Jammin'. Halfway through, solid 4/5. Alexis says album is enhanced if I light up, we'll see if I partake lmao Final thoughts: Great reggae album. Definitely a staple in the genre, and a great example of why Bob Marley is still as famous as he is.

Le meilleur de bob

Good Marley album.

liked this album a lot.

Just amazing. The way Bob Marley can use Reggae for fun boppy music, powerful protest songs, and mellow love songs is just astounding. All of the instruments and background vocals blend together in perfect harmony to convey the experience.

3.5

Pretty chill tunes, made a chalice out of a sprite bottle to this

More trance and less happy than other Marley stuff, perfect for rolling up and smoking

standard solid Bob Marley Album

Bob Marley knew. This is a classic album. I've never listened to so many reggies in a row before, it was quite a shock.

Great listen, really chill

First Bob Marley record ! Liked it very much !

Surprisingly pleasant listening from start to finish, holds up very well after so many years.

Was never a huge fan but this album is very cool.

The album takes a bit of time to get going, but the mixing is really excellent. I'm not sure if it's because I'm listening to a remaster. Some of the songs drag, but there's also so many jams! I can see why it's a classic.

good reminder that the greatest hits on that ubiquitous record came from somewhere

Comment ne pas aimer les rythmes, les cuivres, le parfum jazzé et l'optimisme indéfectible qui teinte ces chansons? Ça en vient presque à éclipser les thèmes politiques plus sérieux, que je suis quand même heureuse d'y trouver.

Cool vibes

Second half rocks harder than the first, but pretty great

Exodus is filled with classic songs with a chill feel and profound meaning. I can’t listen to it all the time, but there’s nothing better when I’m in the right mood.

Either I'm in a better mood, or this is far far better than the serviceable, but a bit boring, Natty Dread. Obviously there are more recognisable hits but I've heard 3 Little Birds and One Love so many times that is potentially a negative. Can never hear Jammin too many times though, funny how that works. Love the darker feeling of side 1. I never need to hear 3 Little Birds ever again. Great song but one of the most overplayed songs of all time.

Starts good and that second half is fire

4/5. Bob Marley is always a great listen. Aside from the usual “Three Little Birds”, I especially enjoyed Natural Mystic. Fantastic song, and an instant add to my music list.

Pleasant enough mood music with topical lyrics. Relevant beyond its genre boundaries.

Relaxing, chill. Some songs that i like, nice.

Yup. It's bob marley

Never been a fan of reggae, but man this album is good. Makes me realize how much of a virtuoso you have to be to just invent a genre of music by yourself. Super cool to listen to.

Every song is a great listen. For me, something the put on perhaps in the background and just relax to

Unexpectedly good

very jammy

listened to again this is the quintessential Marley album

A classic album full of good vibes. Four stars only because reggae isn't really my thing.

By far the pinnacle of it's genre. Was a real delight to listen to. 4.5/5

Not really my things, but very chill and easy to listen to

It was good with a lot of well known hits. Although I am still reminded of Chief Wiggum singing along. It is relatively short album which means the songs were well produced and well edited. I would listen to it again.

what a classic album, wait in vain just might be my favorite reggae song of all time

Pleasant, uplifting, classics 4/5

EXODUS, MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE. Love this one. 4.2/5

4/5 good, has quite a few flaws

This one's the one with all the hits. Not as annoying as I often find it and by the end I was bopping away, so its charm is pretty infectious.

4.5

добротный, светлый регги алкоальбом: каннабис под пиво

Classic BM.

Liked it! Pleasant and catchy.
