5.0 out of 5 stars Confession is good, December 17, 2004
The re-release of the Congos' previous album, Heart of the Congos, prompted many to hail it as the best reggae album of all time. Blood and Fire wisely followed that up with a precisely remastered reissue of "Congo Ashanti". By then, however, it had been taken for granted by many that the Congos either disbanded after HotC or that the quality of their releases did not and could not equal the perfection of HotC. I believe this perception to be wrong for many reasons. Congo Ashanti is a much more lyrically mature album than HotC, with a much darker, more spiritual feel and several outright masterpieces (especially Jackpot and Nana). Where HotC was light and bouncy in places, quirky and strange in others, and somewhat inconsistent in its message, Congo Ashanti is straightforward and consistent in its message of social justice. Buy this for every serious reggae fan you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars top 10 reggae albums of all time, September 29, 2004
This album is one of a kind, exhibiting a reggae style that was created with this album and the congos. The vocal abiltiy these two singers posses is unherd of. It is darker than any other reggae. its slow, mildly haunting, meditative rhythms will lull you into a smooth irie haze. It is so subtle and sweet and mellow. Buy this album and if you like it, also look into their early recordings released on an album called "Heart of the Congos".
