When I saw Stephen Marley perform at the 2008 UCLA Jazz/Reggae festival, I knew I had to buy this album. It has not disappointed. Stephen brings reggae into the "new" millennium. The beats are just fantastic. His lyrics are heartfelt. What's so funny to me is that I'm not even a die-hard reggae fan. Nor do I purchase a lot of reggae. But this album seems to modernize reggae while still maintaining the dancehall/roots flavors without feeling/sounding out-dated. It shouldn't be surprising that in a couple of songs he does sound like his dad, but he has that right. But the rest of the album is just Stephen coming through. He also doesn't overdo it with too many "guests". I was never a Ziggy fan. I think Stephen's style is better than Ziggy. With proper marketing, Stephen could quite possibly introduce another whole generation of people to reggae. If you like a little reggae, you'll love this album. If you like a lot of reggae, you'll certainly appreciate and respect this album.
