Reviews of: Legend: Remasteredby Bob Marley
Product Description Even as greatest hits packages go, Legend is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot the Sheriff", the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry" or the sheer joy of "Jamming". Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. --Chris Nickson Reviews What a shame Brilliant artist,superb songs, awful remaster.This has took all the raw sound out of this mans music.If you listen to the originals there is no comparison.Messing about with tracks either works or it does not,this is the latter. 2008-10-30 A True Poet Bob Marley is to reggae what Bowie is to Glam Rock and Garry Johnson is to punk...the king of a movement and the voice of a generation. Every track is a classic...No Woman No Cry and Redemption Song will still be sung in a 100 years time. This is more than a greatest hits album - it is a masterpiece and a work of art... 2008-09-26 The King Of Reggea Probably the best greatest hits collection of all-time. Bob Marley singer, songwriter, prophet and voice of a generation...to quote Michael Jackson "It dont matter if your black or white"...if you are a music fan with love in your heart and goodness in your soul you will worship this record. Bob Marley is like David Bowie, Joe Strummer, Paul Weller and Bob Dylan pure pop perfection. Redemtion Song makes me cry and No Woman No Cry makes me want to fall in love and I Shot The Sherrif makes me rock...and the rest of the album makes me glad to be alive. A masterpiece. A classic collection and a timeless complilation. 2008-09-24 Flawless introduction to one of the greatest figures of the 20th Century I have such fond memories of this album. I don't actually own the cd, but I was given a copy of it on cassette a few years ago- which I wore out in about a month. I was heavily into punk (real punk i.e. Sex Pistols, Clash) at the time and had read about the link between punk and reggae in the 1970s. Like most people, hearing Bob Marley was my first real experience of reggae and it began a love affair that continues to this day. Hearing this wonderful, utterly timeless music was a revelation to my 14-year-old self. Marley was equally adept at writing beautiful love songs, feelgood anthems and political protests and the scope of his talent is well represented here. Legend is that rare beast- a flawless compilation album. If you're a casual fan, buy this and you'll soon be wanting to own every song Marley ever recorded. There are few artists (bar maybe Dylan and the Beatles) who released as many great albums in succession as Marley. If you're baffled and can't decide which one to choose, this is a great introduction. Even if you don't like reggae (what kind of person are you?) you'll like this. 2008-08-02 Every Track Is Amazing! Every track 1 to 16 are amazing!! words cant describe how good this album is!!! thats why this review is so short!! 2008-07-10 |
