This CD takes you through Buju's evolution as an artist. From the first track, you can envision 'BUJU MOVIN', through the 'Hills and Valleys' of his career and maturing to be who he has ultimately become, one of the greatest reggae artists of our time. He has successfully become a more concious and spiritual artist without alienating his core dancehall fans. Most of his hip-hop cross-over prone peers are left scratching their heads saying "How he a do dat?" 'Untold Stories' still stands out as the class of this album. Very basic instruments, guitar and congo drums, make you focus on his political laments, very "Bob Marleyesque" I wish more songs from 'Til Shiloh' where included in this but I can live with this. This is an excellent compilation and should serve to satisfy people who want to hear Buju for the first time but are unsure of what album to buy.

Great lyrics in the dancehall reggae tunes. All of his best songs and greatest hits on one CD. If you're a fan of Buju Banton or just reggae music in general...buy it!!!!

buju banton has the ability to sing both roots reggae songs, (ie. untold stories), and dancehall tunes, (ie. love sponge). i must admit i am more a fan of the roots reggae style it holds more meaning to me. i do however like several of the dancehall guys such as buju's stuff, barrington levy, sizzla and some of beenie man's stuff too. basically if you like alittle of both, then buju gets it done and doesn't spoil the reggae with any of that hip-hop dancehall like sean paul.
