Free Music Notes for Uprising
Free Music Review: A real classic to close out a legendary career
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the last album released in Bob Marley's lifetime, and in my opinion the gong is at his best. The band really stepped it up for this recording in my opinion. The Wailers are awesome on every recording, but this recording really stands out in my mind. Released in 1980, this was at the height of the band's popularity. The dual lead guitars here almost give this album a feel of a rock album. Don't get me wrong though it is still reggae. The classics Could You Be Loved?, and Redemption Song are known to everyone because of their appearance on Legend, but the rest of the tracks also have a very good groove to them. This is essential for any music collection reguardless if you like reggae or not. This is one of the top 10 records ever in my opinion. Don't die without listening to this, because you'll be missing out.Free Music Review: Marley's best, at least for me...
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my first Bob Marley record, and it's still my favorite. It still resounds years later not because of any nostalgic feelings I might have, but because its art and sincerity are still strong and still sing to me. I love every song here. There isn't one bad note in this entire album. Coming in from the Cold and Bad Card are the best off side one, and I do like the dance hit Could You Be Loved. The album is one of Bob's best, and it's a damn shame it was his final album, because I'm sure he had a lot more to offer this world. One of my favorite songs here is Redemption Song, the last song on the album, and the last studio cut Bob released. It's a folk song, with only Bob and his guitar, but that's what makes it so strong and moving. This is arguably Marley's greatest album, and one that will live forever....Free Music Review: Marley's swan song
Hit: 5 Stars
This album intorduced the kids in my neighborhood to Bob Marley in 1980, and after his death a year later, the kids at my high school (Wando High in Mt. Pleasant SC) jumped on the Bob bandwagon much to the disgust of us who were already initiated.
Overall, this is a fine piece of work. Bob's usual positive thinking anthems are once again set to pulsating backing from the Wailers' band and wife Rita's I-Threes. "Real Situation," "Bad card" "Coming in from the Cold" in particular put out some messages that go down easy on the ears and dancing feet. "Could You be Loved" was a rare dancefloor hit of this era that really had something to say and "Redemption Song" needs no additional commentary. Just hear it, and it's enough.
The latter can be said for this CD as a whole.
Free Music Review: The Highlight Of Bob Marleys career.
Hit: 5 Stars
This was Bob Marley and the Wailers, last album, but is probably their best, it would of been even better if they had put some songs from "Confratation" onto here like "Buffalo Soldier" and "Stiff Necked Fools".
Because "Confratation" was made at the same time as "Uprising", 1980, but they didn't like thoughs' songs, so they put there favourites onto "Uprising", they made a mistake of course with some of the songs they shelved.
Imagine how could Uprsing would of been with some of "Confratation" songs on it.
A mistake by Chris Blackwell.
But the album is very good, and includes my all time favourite songs ever, "Coming In From The Cold" and "Coul You Be Loved".
Free Music Review: You will never grow tired of this album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of those albums you can listen to over and over again and never get tired of hearing it. With each listen, it just becomes more of an old friend you love spending time with. The song order is flawless, every tune is memorable, and the production values are perfect. In my opinion, if you only have one reggae album in your collection, this should be it. Yeah, I know Legend is supposed to be the "essential" Bob Marley album, but I feel this album does a better job of capturing Bob at the height of his powers. Every song is a gem, even if they weren't all radio hits. This album will pick you up and take you for a ride that will leave you feeling good. It will become a good friend.
