. Survival
by: Bob Marley & The Wailers
Release Date July 27, 2001
I'd call this album a grower, definitely not one for someone new to reggae or just dabbling in reggae. It has a much more synth 80's style of playing than earlier roots albums by Bob. So if you're looking for rough roots rock or pop tinged reggae you may be disappointed. If you're a hardcore reggae or Bob fan you've probably got this already.
What I would say is the beauty in this album is in how it's crafted, these are some of Bob's most prophetic lyrics. Just listen to Zimbabwe it's as relevant a lyric today as it was when it was written.
I bought this album years ago when I was in my early 20's its only now as I carrier towards 30 that it has grown on me so perhaps its one for the more mature listener.
