42. Exodus
(1977) - Bob Marley & The Wailers 93/100. To reiterate my Catch a Fire review, I love Bob Marley. Exodus is a great album that helped to make my work day go by a little bit faster. The history of the album with Marley's assassination attempt, exile, and its making just adds to the enjoyment of a deep album that comes off surprisingly upbeat seeing the events that led up to its creation. It had been a long time since listening to Exodus and usually Legend ends up getting more play time so tracks like Jamming, Waiting in Vain, Three Little Birds, One Love/People Get Ready were as good as always but tracks that didn't make Legend such as Natural Mystic, Guiltiness, and Turn Your Lights Down Low (and its Barry White feel). I would recommend the version with the bonus tracks as they are fantabulous as well. I enjoyed Catch a Fire but think that Exodus is a more complete album that I enjoyed just a little more. Listened: 1/20/11
