Exodus

Recorded in London after a politically motivated assassination attempt in Jamaica, 'Exodus' propelled Bob Marley to international superstardom, and was named Album of the Century by Time magazine. The album presents a polished and accessible reggae sound built on laid-back, funky grooves, while thematically splitting into two halves: the first side confronts religious and political turmoil, while the second shifts to more personal themes of love and faith. This dichotomic structure, moving from social commentary to universal celebrations like "Jamming" and "One Love/People Get Ready," solidified the album as a landmark recording.
