5.0 out of 5 stars Five star Marley all the way..., March 22, 2005
By 
WeezyBoPeep (RUSTIC NORTHERN MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Confrontation (Audio CD)
This album, though somewhat more rare than other more popular Bob Marley albums, is my all around favorite. It has a very "native Jamacian" sound, almost African, which I really love. Songs like "Jump Nyabinghi," "Blackman Redemption," and "Chant Down Babylon," are really reminiscent of the early-years Marley material. The songs on this cd are just excellent. My favorite by a long shot is "Stiff Necked Fools," which I happen to think is one of the best reggae songs ever written. You won't be void of classics here either...CONFRONTATION contains the wildly popular "Buffalo Soldier," and "Rastaman Live Up." This really is the best Bob Marley album. Somehow I think it would be Bob's favorite, if still with us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Bob Marley & the Wailers' Most Spiritual Treasure, February 22, 2005
This review is from: Confrontation (Audio CD)
Before his untimely death from Cancer in 1981, Bob Marley & the Wailers had been working on their 11th album for Island Records, "Confrontation". Unfortunately, Marley could not oversee much of this album's progress and the album would not be released until 1983, nearly two yeears after Marley's death. It contains a slew of stellar unreleased material from 1978-1981 and was intended to be his last in a trilogy of specifically African-themed albums, having been preceeded by 1979's "Survival," and 1980's "Uprising".

Each song is a classic from the hopeful tunes like "Chant Down Babylon," my personal favorite, "Jump Niyabinghi," the joyous "Blackman Redemption," and the heart-warming and bold "Rastaman Live Up!," each carrying the message of the revival of Africa and the call for the righteous people of all cultures to keep their heads high. Equally spellbinding are the smooth, meditative tunes like the disco-impacted "I Know," "Give Thanks and Praises," "Mix Up, Mix Up," "Trench Town," and "Stiff-Necked Fools" (originally called "Wisdom," and made with the Lee Perry years with the original Wailers, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh). Each song, with these ones in particular, show Marley in a calm, happy state, almost ready to depart the world as if his work has been completed. It's as if he tells his fans and those who so adore him not to worry in each song. The album, while perhaps not the most chart-topping, is the group's most utterly spiritual and in many ways, their most profound.

The album's track which stands above all the others, however, is the amazing, danceable, yet profound and protestful "Buffalo Soldier," a true story about the mistreatment of Blacks by the Western World and their being forced to join the Union Army for the purpose of killing Native Americans.

In closing, "Confrontation" is simply amazing; so heartfelt and spellbinding. Each song is a smile from Marley in words saying "Do not worry". Each song touches the heart and intrigues the mind. "Confrontation" will stay with you forever. This is truly the most profound, spiritual, and joyous reggae album ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare gem, February 21, 2005
This review is from: Confrontation (Audio CD)
This album along with Kaya is not often looked upon in the Bob Marley and the Wailers catalog, but it is very deserving. The title of this album basically says its purpose, which was Bob Confronting the good and evil within himself. the song you will probably recognize is Buffalo Soldier which appears on Legend. The first 4 tracks are very upbeat and very listenable to the casual fan. As you go past the first 4 tracks, they become less upbeat and stick more to the truth of Rastafarianism. To the casual listener these will not make sense, but to those of you who understand a little bit about Rastafari, these tracks will certainly make sense to you. What many people do not know is that this was released in 1983 and Bob Marley died in 1981. Bob was around to supervise the first single record release for the album, but had passed away before the entire album could be released. Aston Barrett the bass player supervised the releases of singles for this album. Aston barrett was Bob's right hand man, and Bob trusted him to mix and produce the album for release. This is actually Bob Marley singing on all the tracks even though it was released after his death. This cd was intended to be released before the brilliant Uprising album, but the material was shelved because Uprising had a more appealing sound to it. Confrontation is probably for collector's only, but if you want yet another unique side to this band Confrontation is probably for you. Even though this disc is not overly popular amoung Marley fans, it is still one of my favorites.
