 - Absoulutely BrilliantThe prophet's music and words simply wash over you. You feel Jah's love all over with every song on this album. If you do not own this, I feel sorry for you. If you find that you don't enjoy this album, you made need professional help to remove the pudding from your brain. Rating:  - ConsistentMany pleasing tunes abound on Bob Marley's Exodus CD. Three Little Birds and One Love/People Get Ready truly grab me with such pleasing tones and captivating melodies. However some of the less familiar tunes like Turn Your Lights Down Low and Natural Mystic stand fairly tall as well. The style does not vary too much and a few songs are a little long. Nonetheless, like Catch A Fire or the Legend compilation you cannot deny the soothing effects of Mr. Marley. Put it on and don't worry because the music is just allright. Rating: - Ultimate Marley.Many reviewers (myself included) use the word "classic" probably more often than they should when examining great albums, but Bob Marley's thunderous "Exodus" rightfully earns the title. Its influence is incomparable, and its brilliance makes it second to none. You wanna talk about a record that has the word "genius" written all over it? This is it. And even after all these years since I first listened to it as a child, it has lost none of its urgency. Marley croons with pain and longing in the popular "Waiting in Vain;" delivers a strong message of empowerment in the title song, and another favorite of mine is the suave "Jamming." And while Lauryn Hill's version of "Turn Your Lights Down Low" is fine, it can't measure up to the smokin' original that appears here. The remastering on "Exodus" is superb, making the recording even more crisp and tight than what we've heard on previous editions. In a way, "Exodus" is to Marley what "Kind of Blue" is to Miles Davis: a great beginner's album. If you own none of his stuff, this is a pretty good place to start, as it contains many of his more popular songs. And even those who are already familiar with this album should get this reissue for the remastering. Across the board, "Exodus" is indispensable. Rating: - Man you gettin' tipsyA great album made better with the additional live and jam tracks. Hard to believe that this album is now more than 20 years old! Given that the Marley estate has not really put out much live material, the Exodus tour tracks are welcome to collectors of Bob's live legacy. Rating: - we jammin! i wanna jam with u!"Singin sweet songs, melody's pure & true..." (three little birds) i think this album has the sweetest song & the purest & truest melodies of pretty much any roots reggae album ever. Exodus is well deserving of Time Magazine's "Album of the Century" award. every song is amazing (like all wailers songs are). this is what i think of the songs: 1. natural mystic - 5/5 great song with great lyrics 2. so much things to say - 5/5 a very underrated song. its soooooooooo much better than what most people think. the i-threes (the wailers back-up singers) are really good 3. guiltiness - 5/5 amazing 4. the heathen - 5/5 great song. i like the electric guitar in the background 5. exodus - 5/5 the albums theme song. great riddim. a bit too long 6. jamming - 5/5 probably the most well know and popular reggae song EVER! an instant classic 7. waiting in vain - 4/5 pretty good 8. turn your lights down low - 4.5/5 very good song. a bit too slow. check out the remix with lauryn hill (chant down babylon) 9. three little birds - 5/5 great song with a good riddim, backing vocals, and lyrics 10. one love - 5/5 chosen as the anthem off the millenium by some magasine. great song 11. punky reggae party (bonus track) - 5/5 really good song made either for "smile jamaica" or "one love peace concert", im not sure which one. very catchy
