Fantastic classic Marley,
By A Customer
This review is from: Uprising (Audio CD)
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.

Last in a series of Great Albums,
This review is from: Uprising (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The last great album Bob would release,
By Rudy (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uprising (Audio CD)
Bob's health had already been suffering and as sad as it is that this turned out to be the last album he would see released, it is a fitting end to a magnificent career. It is even more fitting that the album ends with Redemption Song, one of his simplest but most powerful songs. That along with Could You Be Loved are the most famous songs here. When I first started getting into The Wailers Could You Be Loved was one of my favourite songs. But after years of listening to roots reggae I have to admit that now it's disco leanings do feel a little out of place and for me it is actually the weakest song on the album (albeit still a very good song). The album opens with one of the real classics, Coming In From The Cold. The 12" mix of this song is tremendous, well worth listening to. Real Situation is next and has an interesting juxtaposition between the joyful sounding backing with Bob's prophetic lyrics. Bad Card and We And Them are 2 of my favourites from this cd. The only words I can use to describe the music of Bad Card is simply - rub-a-dub! Brilliant! The following two songs, Work and Zion Train, despite being less well known are both excellent and keep the high standards up. Pimper's Paradise contains some of the best lyrics from the album.
"She love to party, have a good time she looks so hearty, feeling fine she loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke she'll be laughing when there ain't no joke." After Could You Be Loved is another of my highlights, Forever Loving JAH. It's a really beautiful song. Finally Redemption Song ends the album in style. "Old pirates yes they rob I sold I to the merchant ships minutes after they took I from the bottom less pit but my hand was made strong by the hand of the Almighty we forward in this generation triumphantly." This is another must have album by The Wailers and I can sympathise. Over the years I've lost track of how much money I've spent collecting all their albums and compilations etc. But I can honestly say it's been worth every penny. This album is nearly 30 years old and is every bit as relevant as when it was recorded.
