So Much Trouble In The World (1979) - Bob Marley & The Wailers and here it is, what I consider their pinnacle. A perfect album in every respect: compositional level, themes, lyrics. A musical, political, cultural, revolutionary manifesto. A consciousness that starts in Africa to speak to the whole world. There isn't a single moment here that isn't absolutely essential and of the highest quality. One of those albums that you put on and, no matter what you’re doing, you can’t help but stop and listen attentively. And then the cover: if the concept of a flag has any meaning, this is the only type of flag that I personally appreciate: the union of all.
