What is there not to like? It's full of great tunes. Although I have to say the more country/ballady ones are not really my thing. But you can hear how a lot of indie bands used this record and some of the sound, particularly the guitar parts, as an inspiration for their own tracks.
It's the end of the world as we know it and the one I love are worth the whole album.
You can hear how this laid a lot of the foundations for rock and indie music that came later. Especially the guitar parts, it's that evolution from blues to this more riffy, single-string like guitar parts (playing more notes on one string rather than jumping around the fretboard). Some of it feels like rusty blues music, especially you gotta move. Worth listening to through.
Very groovy, not that long of an album, puts you in a good mood.
Quite simply a masterpiece
It feels a bit Beatles like, some of the tracks are really wonderful. His singing I find very warm and fragile.
Dear god, the 1960s were full of albums like this, they're a bit much to be honest. A pain to listen to.
You can hear the songwriting is pretty refined and the songs are very well thought. I wouldn't necessarily listen to it all the time, but I feel 4 stars is necessary because it's such iconic music writing. Perhaps I miss having a bit more edge in this sort of music, although I do love pop music.
I think I saw them talk in an itv or bbc documentary about skinheads. A message to rudy is such a standaout track. Giving a 4 as I just like the vibe and fun of it, although I think it's more of a 3 really.
Really loved this album. It's varied, has a strong hip-hop, trip-hop, 90s foundation. It's sonically varied, the singing and rapping is great, and is a pleasure to listen to start to end.
Jesus, I can't. Some of it sounds like they're imitating the first Genesis, some just sound too much like 60s, lighthearted music, some of it just feels pretentious. This was tough to listen to.
It's a nice listen, but perhaps not the most iconic bob marley album ever. But I definitely enjoyed it. Find the story behind it having two versions, a jamaican and an international/english one curious.
I liked the opening with the talking, the mentioning of Quincy Jones was funny as a young composer (or was it arranger?) from New York. The album felt like a snapshot from a different time.
It's an alright album, nice to listen to, time of the season really stands out as a single I didn't feel the other songs stood out as much.
Very groovy, the first track is such a banger. It's a really pleasant album, well produced, the ending makes you feel like, is that it?
Super spacey, very late 90s vibe. Really enjoyed it, full of great melodies and guitars. Drums in the opening were really good.
It's not really my cup of tea, but the guitar riffs are great and there's some cool rhythmical stuff and bass lines in the first half of the album. But screaming is too much.
It's actually a great album. I hadn't realised the first track is what gave the name to the first track of OK Computer. The album is really bluesy and is a pleasure to listen to. The track with Bob laughing at the beginning is quite funny.
Most of it is very folk and very refined. Towards the end it becomes particularly ethereal and a bit church like.
Very bluesy and has such great tunes. A good one for a car ride.
I found it a bit long and possibly needed more variety, I want to give a three because I have lots of affection for Public Enemy but I'm going for a two. I think they've done much better records and can hit harder.
Such a classic
