5.0 out of 5 stars
One of me favorites, May 11, 2004
This review is from: No Nuclear War (Audio CD)
I am reading some of these disses toward this album but please don't listen to these clowns. If you don't pick this CD up you are really missing out on some excellent songs. Nah Goa Jail is an awesome song and Testify is one of my favorites also. Don't listen to these people trying to dis a legend this album is defenitely worth picking up, TRUST ME you won't be disappointed!

a fitting finale, September 21, 2000
This review is from: No Nuclear War (Audio CD)
"No Nuclear War" turned out to be Peter Tosh's last effort, and what an effort it was, mixing excellent message songs with his usual razor sharp delivery; potent lyrics and excellent grooves dominate this lp, and show the direction Tosh would likely have gone in had he not been so brutally murdered.
While the music is somewhat slick and overproduced (find me a quality 80's reggae lp that wasn't) and introduced drum machines and other electronics into Tosh's music, clearly showing that Tosh again was trying to become more mainstream, it was Tosh's lyrics that dominate this lp- showing his maturity and heinsight in "Lessons In My Life," mixed with his usual attacks on the government in "No Nuclear War" and his remake of "Apartheid."
Sadly, we will never know what move Tosh would have made after this brilliant effort, but we have his music and all that it has to offer, as the most fitting tribute to the legend and his unwavering vision.

Glad I bought it!, January 26, 2002
This review is from: No Nuclear War (Audio CD)
I had heard mixed reviews regarding "No Nuclear War", but since I really liked "In My Song" off of the "Toughest" compilation, I went for it all and picked this album up. I have to say that I am glad that I did. Although it may not be a reggae classic, it sure is enjoyable enough. All 8 songs are good, with "Lessons In My Life" and "In My Song" being as good as any Tosh song before them. "No Nuclear War" is a fitting opener and has Tosh pulling no punches with a smattering of bombs, horns, drums and guitar combining to lead the charge. "Vampire" is the obvious inspiration to Lucky Dube's, "Dracula", and possibly to Dube's entire trademark sound at that!
