It’s not bad but it’s also very repetitive. Not much catchiness or hooks. I probably won’t remember any of the songs. I’ve listened to most of the album twice now. I can’t imagine ever wanting to put this on my turntable.
oh reggae, but not vibing with the melody
All sound the same and little melody
Proper old school reggae Sadly every track sounds the same Gave up half way through
Would rather listen to chalk on a blackboard.
Felt like some pretty run of the mill reggae. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't great either. Not sure there was anything special about it in any way. Felt like something that I could play in the background of any cantina in an island nation and I wouldn't have noticed it at all. 1.26 stars
Not my favorite honestly.
Did not listen
2 things: Once I realised the artist wasn't Marcus Garvey, I felt a bit happier for some reason, i did think it was a bit arrogant writing a song about one's self in the 3rd person. The other thing was I felt the same outrage that the musicians felt when listening to this travesty of a 'more palatable' version. God knows how bad the original was, or was it better? 0 stars.
I couldn't find this particular album. Unsure which is the artist and which is the lbum title. But I listened to other stuff and its just run of the mil reggae.
not the vibe for the hottest, meltingiest day of the week. time could not move slower.
1975 reggae. Just don’t see when I’d listen to it.
Not sure I like reggae now after that
I'm usually not a Reggae person, but this one annoyed me even more than Bob Marley.
I'm gradually coming to believe that reggae is, compared to most genres I've heard from this list, not super worthwhile. It's shocking how little variety there is within and among the reggae albums I've heard. Sure, one track might sound chill and pleasant enough. But then you get 12 more indistinguishable tracks that are all chill and "pleasant enough" in the exact same way. In that way, these reggae artists are one-trick ponies. Listening to this album makes me feel like I have been on an remote island vacation for far too long and am starting to go crazy. Most tracks are repetitive with little dynamics. The musicians have few tricks up their sleeves. The guitarist will listlessly strum the same one or two chords for an entire track. Simplistic drum beat, with an occasional stereotypical reggae drum fill which just serves as a reminder of how cliche the album is. The brass sections can be a nice touch when they occur but they don't change the fact that the songwriting is flat. Very little emotional impact, since they all sound like they're just smoking pot around a bonfire on the beach. I feel like I've been sitting in a peace pipe circle for hours and somehow nobody around me is getting tired of the fact that it's just going on and on and on.
DNF. I really have no time for this. What I did hear was uninspirational reggae with tiresome lyrics.
Rule #7: No Reggae
The reggae beat gets old after a few songs as does the constant oppression style lyrics. I'm just not into this artist or his music. 1/5
So, I pretty much hate reggae and consider Bob Marley some of the most aggravating artists I ever had the misfortune to hear. There's just something about the particular brand of off-beat that instantly sets me on edge. Surprisingly, I thought the opening track really wasn't that bad. But it was downhill from there, with the majority of the rest of the songs being nearly unbearable to me. Please just let me listen to the Spotify advertisements instead.
I really didn't vibe with this album. I've listened to a little reggae before and it's not really my bag but this one just didn't hit.
Could not find the albums
Hated it
Reggae is always great for the surf and sand but not great on a grey wet day. New artist for me.
Not very remarkable I like the cover
Mm mm chaka, mm mm chaka, mm mm chaka i all oändlighet. Jag känner inte att jag har varken tålamod eller intresse nog för att känna detta som stimulerande. Givetvis finns det budskap i texterna som kanske flyger mig över huvudet och kanske finns det intrikata saker som en annan musikälskare skulle plocka upp på. Men när jag lyssnar på musik så utgår det till ungefär 90% utifrån melodier snarare än texter. Med detta menar jag verkligen inte att jag inte uppskattar text och författardelen av ett verk, utan att det för mig oftast blir som en prick över i:et på på en låt som redan har fångat in mig med sköna slingor eller intressanta ackordföljder. Dit kommer jag aldrig med detta, inte ens i närheten. Kanske fanns det något som hade kunnat tvinga fram en stjärna till i texterna, men det kommer jag nog aldrig ta reda på. Bäst: Vet inte, det flyter ihop till ett "mm mm chaka"

weak
Avorrit
No just no
Not my thing
Not for me
every song sounded the same goodbye
This is the same song 10 times. Drum roll, same rhythm (4/4 with a heavy backbeat) , monotonous ending.
Crap
Nee, hier kan ik helemaal niets mee en heb ik eigenlijk gewoon een hekel aan.
I found this album rather boring. 1/5 stars.
Too much reggae and you feel like you’re on a sinking ship
Not for me.
Not for me
It's so very reggae and I'm not a fan. Nothing outstanding maybe except for lyrics which usually are "woke" either way...
No man
I get the importance to Roots Reggae but it didn't leave a massive impression on me
