Its Good...
" That's why I give it 4 stars. My only issue with the album is the "western production. Now seeing how a previous reviewer said " good thing he was shot". . . . . that's not even a comment that needs to be made about Peter. Now ALOT of the "musicians" (including the corny "poppy rock" groups of today. . . . that can apply to. ) Peter was great. My interpretation of Peter music was: This IS how the world is today, what can YOU, who listen to my music, do about it. While Bob was: Wouldnt it be nice IF life was peaceful, upfull, majestic and Irie!!! So thats the difference, not entirely, but the overall vibe of both of them. Now this albums lyrics and riddims ("see thru" the overproduction,)was exceptional. I wish there could be like a "Jamaican Version" to this album, Like "Catch A Fire" just bare. . . otherwize I have no other tiffs with this one. Otherwise, thank you Peter for you everlasting gifts of Music!!.


Ignore Mike!
'Nah Go A Jail' is good to light up too. This may not be his best but it's still incredible. 'No Nuclear War' can be updated and would fit right in today with the ever-present Imperialist objectives of the U. S. 'In My Song' and 'Testify' are praise songs to Jah and 'Lessons In My Life' is one of his best works. It's a perfect song to bring closure to a long and difficult journey. It's not easy to listen to 'Lessons' and not be saddened.


What a Waste
Hell, can you think of better reggae albums than "Legalize It" or "Equal Rights?" Or how about a more electic performer live? Even greats like Marley pale in comparison to Tosh's abilities. Peter Tosh and Roots Reggae go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. I mean, he was the revolutionary of a very revolutionary group, and reveled in it. And his fans loved him for that.

So WTF!!

As opposed to inciting his countrymen to war, he asks them to join together in peace and harmony to the rest of the world. Where's the Fire and Passion?! And wtf is up with the overproduction? I think he finally decided to seek mainstream success, but he picked one of the worst times in popular music to do so (the late 80's. ) The result: an embarassing album for one of the leaders of an entire musical genre. Basically, think 80's Rolling Stones, and you got a pretty good idea of what I mean. Just terrible. And what the hell is up with the album name? "No Nuclear War?" As opposed to "Yay Nuclear War?" Man, it's a good thing he was shot. .


Peter Tosh won a Grammy for this album!
Peter tosh was assassinated before this album won the attention of the world. The only problem was that he didn't live to see it. No Nuclear War is the first Peter Tosh album I bought, I recommend it to people who want an album friendly to all ages. The album has a folk theme, with horns and flutes. It is post modern subject matter with medieval reggae. .


Peter Tosh's portentous final album
This re-mastered version sounds really tough and features mostly material recorded in 1985, but not released until just days before his tragic murder in Kingston on September 11, 1987. Reggae legend Peter Tosh gives another statement of his african consciousness, marijuana legalization struggle, unity of humankind and matters like the anding of nuclear proliferation. "Fight Apartheid" is one of my personal favourites, but the original version released in the "Equal Rights" lp sounds more roots reggae and less syntethised and electric than this later effort. "NO Nuclear War" is a mixed remake of material of some of his seventies songs like "Vampire",the strong "Lessons In My Life", and "Fight Apartheid" and new compositions like his praise to Almighty JAH ("In My Song"), the anti-nuclear hymn with his single version or bonus track. Another fact that adds to the musical experience is the outstanding cover art, and one of my favourite Neville Garrick's work ( with Marley's "Confrontation" and Winston Rodney's "Hail H. I. M. "). By watching his ilustration of Peter dressed like a Kung Fu fighter with a gas mask on his face and an armor plate with flashing lightning out of his hands towards the two missiles of Russia and United States I realized how powerful and terrifying a musical graphic image can be. In the last period of his life he asked people to call him by his ethiopian name that was Son of Thunder (in Amharic;Wolde Semayat),and this album still sounds thunderable 18 years later. .
