This album is dominated by Aston Barrett's brilliant bass playing. He controls the feel and rhythm of every song perfectly. This leads to a moody record with a scruffy sound. Though it is not as pop friendly as Exodus this album doesn't miss a beat and every song is a joy to listen to. This album also has the feel of being a band album instead of that of a solo artist. Peter Tosh sings the two songs he wrote and that in itself adds a nice flavor to the album.
From what I've heard of Marley I would say this represents the best of the original band with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston, while Exodus represents the best of Marley after that original breakup. Own these two albums and you will not only own the best two Reggae albums of all time, but two of the best albums of all time.
