Amazon Review

In 1999, Time magazine named Exodus the most significant album of the 20th century, and rightly so. Bob Marley's ethereal masterpiece captures the everyday and the unconscious in a 46-minute perfect work. The original recording is beautifully recreated, featuring perhaps the Wailers' tightest performance to date. The opening track, "Natural Mystic," gradually emerges from a deep silence, creating the impression of a music gradually shifting from past to present to future. The first half of the album depicts Marley's shift in focus from the everyday problems of urban life to understanding more significant cosmic truths, while the second half features "Jamming" and "Waiting in Vain," which offer a somewhat wistful look at human relationships.
