Weird but addictive
I didn't realise this was the group that did "stressed out" which i like a lot. The words don't always seem to make sense but that's party of the weirdly addictive effect it has. The "melody" is catchy and the mixture of different styles of music, from hip hop, rock and pop, to reggae, rap and indie music. It just makes it more interesting.

Playlist options
I understand that free music is expected today from alot of people. I also understand the premium options necessary on music sharing apps. I love using spotify, and I have a variety of playlists from metal, to reggae, to comedy skits. I had a premium account for around 2 years before I hit financial hardships and has to cancel the subscription. Hopefully I can get it back soon and enjoy spotify in all its glory, rather than what they decide I should enjoy.

Superb Soundtrack
Pretty much introducing reggae to the rest of the world outside of Jamaica, this is very much an album of my childhood. The cassette player in the parents car, blaring this out, normally on our lengthy car journeys to our holiday destination. It wasn't until the late 80's that I actually got around to seeing the film. Blown away I invested in my own copy of this superb soundtrack, and it's been a consistent 'go to' album ever since. Jimmy Cliff provides the bulk of the album. The main theme song, which you get two excellent versions of here, was the only track especially recorded for the film. The rest of the album comprises of some of the greatest reggae tunes ever recorded from 1967-72. Featuring Desmond Dekker, The Maytals, Scotty, The Slickers and The Melodians, we hear infectious rhythms, funky Kingston breaks, a whole lot of soul, all topped off with Jamaican patois. It really doesn't get much better than this. An absolute classic.

Rolling Stone's 407th greatest album of all time
When you compare the tracklisting of this triple-album to that of the Story of the Clash, it is clear this is not their best material. A triple-album is a brave move and has to be backed up with quality throughout. Sadly that isn't the case here. While it is a good enough listen, there is not a lot that stands out (mainly Magnificent Seven). For fans of dub and white men doing reggae. The version of Somebody Got Murdered is a travesty.
