Bob Marley & The Wailers-Kaya ****
Kaya is the stereotypical Marley album. This is the album that satisfies that theory that Marley was a laid back pot head instead of a activist, street fighting man called tuff gong. Which blows my mind because next to Natty Dread this is his least popular album and only contains one true hit. Two if you count 'Satisfy My Soul.'
Many have a love or hate relationship with the album. The first half is genius and full of some of his and ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing Feel Good Album
First time I heard this record, i loved the first three songs, the rest were alright, and I hated the final two (excluding the bonus track "Smile Jamaica.") This album grows with more listening, and probably makes me happier than listening to any other album ever. It also is probably in my top three favorite Bob Marley albums, Survival is the best. One of the reasons it is not my favorite is the lack of political lyrics which I think characterizes Marley's most important music. Most of these songs ... Read More
Rating: - The Power of Philosophy
This is one of the most powerful records in the Bob Marley canon, probably my favorite by the reggae master. The album is very mellow musically, boasting two of Bob's best love songs, "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". The whole album is just excellent, in particular the haunting "She's Gone", written in the wake of the shooting at Marley's house when his wife left him briefly, fearing for her safety. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing, coupled with an evocative Junior Marvin guitar lick. ... Read More
Rating:  - Average outing from a fantastic talent
If you buy into the image of Marley as being this really mellow, optimistic, happy guy, this album pretty much will solidify that image in your mind. Even when the lyrics are melancholy ("She's Gone"), the grooves are so sunny you'd think they were meant as the soundtrack to some long-forgotten commercial pushed by the Jamaican tourism industry. That doesn't matter, though, because the first side of this is as good as anything else Bob has ever done, which for the most part is fantastic. Several classics ... Read More
Rating: - Truly definitive music
One can't fail to be moved by music such as this. Drop this disc into your digital player, slip on the best pair of headphones you can afford (the quality of the remaster is astounding, with superb dynamics audible even at low volumes), and really listen...listen as if your ears were brand new, and let this music penetrate your soul...who knows, you might even envision living in a world where the Golden Rule was not about who has the gold. Perhaps you might begin to understand the singular power and universality ... Read More
