All these songs are hits, but "Coming In From The Cold" has to be the best on here, by a longshot!Free Music Review: Excellent but slightly repetitive

One of Bob's most acclaimed albums, and I like it, though I'd hesitate to call it his best album. It's a very political one, yet it's so upbeat you probably won't notice that - for example, the bright "Bad Card" has a staccato piano and cooing backup vocals. It's also him at his most melodic, with song after song containing hook after hook - "Coming in from the Cold" and the dancey "Could You Be Loved?" are two of Bob's catchiest tracks; "Real Situation" is also a nice slice of poppy reggae with, once again, socially conscience lyrics. There are some slightly darker songs to contrast this, like the minor-key "We and Dem", with fantastic guitar and steel drum parts - or at least it sounds like a steel drum, maybe I'm wrong here. Good one regardless. "Work" is also darker, and I like its suspenseful atmosphere. It's also got an instrument I can't identify - I can't tell if it's horns, steel drums, or what. It's cool, whatever it is, and you can't deny the guitar licks either. Really, I've only got one problem with this album, and that's the one-size-fits-all approach to arrangements. There are a couple exceptions to this rule - most notably the classic folk protest "Redemption Song", which is one of Marley's best ever and certainly the best song on the album; and the aforementioned "Could You Be Loved", a successful flirtation with disco. But after a while, I get the feeling that Bob took one generic backup track and decided to apply it to every song on the album. Take "Zion Train". Decent song by itself, but it sounds a lot like "Work" to me. Of course, I've already discussed that I really like "Work", but it's a bit trying to hear what is basically the same song on repeat, which is what makes it arguably the weakest song on the album. Even then, it's an objectively catchy song, very hummable refrain, and more solid guitar parts too. I suppose "Pimper's Paradise" is kinda the same way too, but I love the numerous vocal hooks and steady pulse on that one, so hey, I can certainly deal with that. So this is a really good album, but a bit more diversity wouldn't have killed it. Whatever, it's not like Bob Marley was all that diverse in the first place.Free Music Review: His last recording
Hit: 4 Stars
Good solid music from a master. Might not be his best
but a must have for anyone who likes his music. Great
listening for music fans and a fine introduction
for anyone who has none of his work.
