- Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974) 92/100. - This is my third (and unfortunately last (all of my Bob Marley listening will be for personal reasons)) Bob Marley & The Wailers review (check out Exodus - http://geekyclowns1001albums.blogspot.com/2011/01/42-exodus-bob-marley-wailers.html and Catch a Fire - http://geekyclowns1001albums.blogspot.com/2011/01/34-catch-fire-bob-marley-wailers.html). I enjoyed this about equal with Catch a Fire but not as much as Exodus. I found the first half of the album fantastic. Lively Up Yourself; No Woman, No Cry; Them Belly Full (But We Hungry); Rebel Music - just plain outstanding. The second half isn't as strong. That isn't to say that it is bad, just hard to compare to the first half. Natty Dread and Talkin' Blues are great tracks. The addition of Rita Marley adds a lot to the album as a whole. A great listen. Listened: 2/28/2011.Favorite Tracks: All of side one, Natty Dread, Talkin' Blues
