After reading this review I only have one thing to say: YOU SUCK! Bob Marley lives on an so does his music. Donīt say that Bob didīnt had a positive message to the world. All his songs relate to some crisis in our life, and if you really concentrate and listen to the text, you will learn several important things. So give the album Chant Down Babylon a chance. Donīt judge Bob only for an album. Cuz if you do then you must be a jackass!

How can you say such things about chant down babylon. This album is still full of bobs sultry sound. The reworked bassy sound gives the music a vast modern edge that hopefully will spark a new intrest in Bob Marley's music long after his physical death. This album is totally sweet and if you cant hear that maybe you are not a true marley fan like me

The songs with krayzie bone and the roots are fuckin hot same with turn your lights down low. this is one of the best party/dance cds out. you cant beat smoking some ganja and dancing to this song for hours and thats the truth. peace and jah bless.

I think that the review is somewhat biased and overcritical. While it is true that some songs got fucked up during the retreatment (if Jammin were a picture, it'd look like a dude who was unlucky enough to meet Hannibal Lecter), but the reviewer definitely has missed out on a few gems in the album.
Anyway, Bob meant his music for the common man to understand. He always made sure that his music was relevant and understandable. This is a way of connecting to us who weren't around to witness the Legend's presence, so be more understanding before writing it off.
This record puts a fresh spin on to Bob's songs, and some of them turned out pretty OK. The messages, though the presentations are altered, are still just as powerful. The heart of the music is the most important part of it.
In this album, the heart's all there.
"How can you be sittin there, telling me that you care?"
RIP, Bob.

I feel that the CD overall is good at communicating the true message of what Bob Marley sought to say; I love you all. For you to critique it and say that it ruined some masterpieces, is true in some cases for me, but in other areas, it actually improved the songs. When Steve compiled the album, he was seekign to touch today's youth, not pple like you that have listened to the music and appreciated it. Sadly, my generation only knows a couple of songs by Bob Marely, and many of us fail to see the political or social statements that are made in the song. Most of us are intrested in hip hop, and we are die hard fans. Whether MC lyte comes out with a good CD, the instant she has a new one, her fans are off to but it. By using such an allstar cast, Steve was gauranting that the message of Bob Marley would touch the new generation as it once did your generation so powerfully. If one doesn't like the song, we know that its a spin off the old one, and we are bound to look up the original, and experience something really great. The CD is great at reaching and communicating to an audience that is so far removed from the issues of society that it deals with.

First of all the, Bob Marley music is meant for everyone black or white, yes bob marley did say that he is on neither black or white side, but GOD SIDE. But Bob also mention on his carribean nights video, that he is more black then anything, because that how people see him. He says, he has had more black problems than white problems, since he never knew his dad(which is white). He would have rather became all black. QUOTE BOB MARLEY WORDS IN HIS BOOK CATCH A FIRE AND VIDEO CARRIBEAN NIGHTS. ANYWAYZ, I DO AGREE THAT THE CD WAS NOT VERY GOOD, I HATE IT WHEN ARTISTS OF TODAY TRY TO REMAKE OLD SONGS.

The album totally sucks.The review is right on. Every cut is a complete abortion of the real thing. If the Marley family wants to preserve and carry on Bob's work then how about some more of his originals, like he wrote and performed them. Like an acoustic album, a dub album for each of the Island/Tuff Gong releases, with Bunny and Barrett and Thompson involved. Or how about releasing the stuff we haven't heard that is still in the vaults. How about an album of alternate cuts/different versions of his best known songs, there are lots of examples out there. More of the real thing. By the way this is two losers in a row from Marley Family/Tuff Gong. The Laswell Ambient dub album was worse than this one, if possible. It really butchered the music, Laswell took all of the excitement and energy of Bobs work and tranced it and put the listener right to sleep. I don't think most of the rviewers on this page really know or listen to Bob's work.

In this new age of gangbang eastcoast- westcoast hiphop, there is a need to bring awareness of culture and roots musically to the youth. In whatever form Bobs musik comes around itīs always an inspiration. So, get yo shit right before using statements like the family is ass-fucking one of the greatest musicians of all time.

I'm glad to see I"m not the only one with disdain for this odioius record.
And you are right about the black/white thing. . .though Marley's friend Peter Tosh put it a diferent way, "If you're a black man, you are an African." I particularly like that one because it is one of the few non-Run DMC songs that mentions my home boroough of Queens.
I part company with you on the pot leaf. Think of the cover of "Catch a Fire." If memory serves, Bob is holding a fat-ass jay (if I may quote Snoop Doggy Dog.) I don't think he'd be too upset with promoting marijuana along with his albums. . .though I may be wrong.

I agree with the make a buck thing on this--What is strange is that I got the idea that they wanted the young"black generation" to remember or learn about Bob, when it seems as if they don't realize that Marley was not about the "black" or "wjite" thing. He was about the Rasta thing---"Everything is Rasta, it's not about the black man or the white man--it's about rasta" just to quote Marley. Do they not remember that Marley was half white? And I truly hate seeing the marijuana leaf in the booklet. I can't stand people always using marijuana in the background with Him. He is about much more than that!!!!!
