Great CD if you like Reggae music. Jah Cures voice is unbelievable & the music is rich... I love the Bob Marley cover, so much emotion.

This is by far one of the most soulful reggae albums I have ever hear. Jah Cure's voice is just amazing and his lyrical content is out of this world. His words seem like they were drawn from his personal experiences being incarcerated for an extended period of time and his eventual release. Every true reggae fun should own this album, especially in this time of weak music and auto-tune enhanced music.

I love this CD. I've been a fan of Jah cure's work for many years when he was just a youngster doing his time. My husband was one of the first people I heard playing this artist music and I always wondered, where he got that from but we both appreciate great music! this album promotes love and unity and its just one of the best CD I ever and will ever own.

Favorite tracks: Sticky, true reflections, Forever,call me (ultimate fave!!, my life and Journey..

One love, Bless

Though I already have all his albums and many of these songs, this compilation is great if you are a lover of conscious music. Plus I believe that Jah Cure is a true inspiration and testament.

A great thing about this album is that you can feel the emotions of a man that has been through sufferation and struggle but can still manage to love. From the beginning to the end of the album you will enjoy great music, lyrics and vibration. Jah Cure's voice and melody is truly a gift from Jah.

I cannot decide on my favorite song on this album, but I keep repeating "SOON COME," so that must be the one. SOON COME makes me cry as well as give thanks - "only Jah sees and knows." It is one of those songs that gives you hope, helps you keep the faith and to hold on. The rendition of Bob Marley's BURNING AND LOOTING is a great tribute. The words to MY LIFE are both inspirational and confessional, it exhibits humility and gratefulness. MR JAILER is an excellent comment on the situation in the prison system, and also the way society views certain people. FREEDOM and SUFFERATION are songs of praise, celebration and reflection. JOURNEY has a very up-beat rhythm compared to some of the others, and the words are meditational. FOREVER, TWO WAY STREET and CALL ON ME are love songs, well written and executed. UNIVERSAL CURE is about love for the universe, expressing that the only cure is LOVE, and until we accept LOVE we will be crying and fighting for peace. U BELIEVE IN ME is for the fans, well-wishers and believers, this track is beautiful - the words, the music, the different levels of his vocals - just brilliant overall.

An excellent album!

its ok there is more old music than new so if you dont have the old stuff this would be good to have

Took a chance and bought the CD because I really liked the single Stickey. Didn't know much about the artist but I am a big fan now. If you like old school reggae "message music", you won't be disappointed.

I am not sure why Jah Cure feel the need to yankify the music. I had hoped he would be a bastion for conscious music, and his early recordings were soul stirring. The collaborations with the rappers is the first sign of crossing over into another genre, which if I want that I would purchase the nonsense they now produce and call music
