This was Bob Marley and the Wailers, last album, but is probably their best, it would of been even better if they had put some songs from "Confratation" onto here like "Buffalo Soldier" and "Stiff Necked Fools".
Because "Confratation" was made at the same time as "Uprising", 1980, but they didn't like thoughs' songs, so they put there favourites onto "Uprising", they made a mistake of course with some of the songs they shelved.

Imagine how could Uprsing would of been with some of "Confratation" songs on it.

A mistake by Chris Blackwell.

But the album is very good, and includes my all time favourite songs ever, "Coming In From The Cold" and "Coul You Be Loved".

Chect out track number 1, Coming in from the cold, it is as good as I shot the sheriff and Could you be loved but together.

Many Bob Marley fans insist the best or "real" Marley is the rawer, rootsier early stuff like CATCH A FIRE or the early Tuff Gong recordings. While I would agree that you can't go wrong with virtually any Bob Marley album, I personally prefer the more polished and (even more) melodic pop reggae he created towards the end of his career, like KAYA and this fantastic album, UPRISING.

On UPRISING, Marley is at the height of his powers and he's accompanied by a stellar band. All of the musical elements fall perfectly into place on every single track. These tunes demonstrate that Marley had a greater, more sophisticated mastery over his craft at this particular point in his life. He was making the best of every moment he had. I don't think he was aware of it yet while recording this album, but his tragic death from brain cancer was on the horizon.

Without a doubt, this is soulful, spiritual music whether the songs deal with worldly themes such as on "Pimper's Paradise" or overtly religious ones like "Forever Loving Jah." Even an agnostic like me can revel in the warm love and sheer joy in this music, which I feel even when Bob addresses the negative sides of life as he does on "Bad Card," for example. This album is loaded with important, universal themes the whole world should hear. The last track, "Redemption Song," featuring Marley alone on vocal and guitar, is something quite different from the other tracks and it's particularly poignant. On the whole, UPRISING is so fun to listen to and so groove-worthy that I've heard it hundreds of times and I never get tired of it.

Although there are always the naysayers, Bob Marley is widely considered to be the inventor of raggae and he's still undoubtably the best raggae musician of all time. He's one of the greatest musicians EVER.
