"This isn't the Wailers playing. They took weird unused Marley stuff nobody wanted and added junky new music to it to hurt Bob's memory. Not cool, not worth the cost."

"i agree with the first person. bought this cd not knowing what was in store, sold it a month later. weak vocal recordings of bob put to souped up music some dudes did in a studio ten...twenty or more years later....to make a buck. i don't think bob would buy this, and neither should you."

One of the most hypnoticly groovy albums I've ever heard.

"Soul Almighty - The Formitive Years is a truly amazing album. One of the richest examples of Bob's passion for the sound that he calls his own. Song's like "Bend Down Low", "Rock Steady", and "Splish for My Splash" are brilliant examples of reggae and pure soul as well. Bob has a way of displaying the power that music has, to rejuvenate and inspire the people who make it as well as the people who are listening. The only reason I did not give this album a pefect score is because some of the tracks are a bit murky in places(which fortunatley, in my opinion, fails to take away from the music), and also there are a couple of remixes on the tail end of the album which aren't really my bag. But if you like Bob or just plain hip swaying soul, then I would definately pick this one up. Send me your opinions!"
