"Bob was one of the only singer/songwriters that could sing about hardcore issues, and still keep the music brilliant and lively enough to not send his listeners into a mental depression.On this, one of the Wailer's last albums(1979), Marley and the boys keep the hardcore political edge with *arresting* protest songs like "Zimbabwe," "Survival," "Top Rankin'," "Babylon System," and the classic "So Much Trouble In The World.""Marley's contageous hopeful nature is exhibited in such uplifting tunes as "Africa Unite," and "One Drop."One of the best, and politically hard-edged albums of the late '70s for sure.Marley never let the Man influence His music, and he stuck with his vision until the end. One of the better men of the 20th century, as well as one of the better albums."
As good as Exodus!

"None of the songs on the Survival album (as well as the Rastaman Vibration album) appear on Legend, the best-selling hits package for Bob Marley and the Wailers. However both these albums are just as good as Exodus of which five songs were chosen for Legend. *If you have Legend and are looking to buy another album, buy Survival and buy Rastaman Vibration and/or Babylon by Bus, their second live album which includes a few classic songs from Rastaman Vibration.*"
