Album Notes & Community Reviews
Bob Marley and The Wailers delivered arguably the most militantly political, deeply conscious album of their entire career with 'Survival'. Brimming with themes of Pan-African solidarity and anti-colonialism, the record is a highly rhythmic, wonderfully warm, and remarkably uplifting roots reggae triumph that never sacrifices its powerful message.
