| “ | There's no debating that Sinéad O'Connor is one of the great singers to come from the pop world in the late 20th century. Her recordings and live performances have underscored her reputation in spades. Throw Down Your Arms is her first official outing since her "retirement" three years previously. Despite the cover photo of O'Connor as a young communicant, the set here is strictly hard reggae -- all the cuts are covers of classic reggae tunes. Recorded at Tuff Gong and Anchor Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, and produced by Sly & Robbie -- who are also the key rhythm section on the disc -- it stars some of the cream of the scene's elder crop, from guitarist Mikey Chung to Sticky Thompson, Dean Fraser, and many others. Beginning with the a cappella "Jah Nuh Dead" by Winston Rodney (Burning Spear), O'Connor does reverential readings of these canonical reggae classics. She takes no liberties, the band is mixed right up front with her voice, and she gets deep into the dread groove from Burning Spear's "Door Peep" and the title cut to Peter Tosh's "Downpressor Man" and Lee Perry's "Curly Locks" and "Vampire." O'Connor is a great interpreter of these songs because she understands they need nothing to be complete. They stand the test of time simply because they are great songs. She wraps herself in the rhythm and the spiritual groove and lets them cover her, saturate her, and come through her into the air where she separates God from the religions of men. Dynamite singing, a killer band, and wonderful material do a fine album make. Welcome back, Sinéad.

This is a strange woman. 1st she left the Band and right after that she had a Hit. Than that thing with the Pope's picture (I loved that one) on live TV and so on............
Thank you very much wustenratte!
HA-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...cough...mmmmmwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Keep the jokes coming!
You have no clue, lots of it!
One you see leia soon the history books the bible and descubri that the stupidity like the religion is virus difficult to eradicate when people want to be dominated, they likes to be " corderos" , guidances, do not want or they cannot see beyond its noses, estan programmed to follow the vital cycle like wild by the field; it is that for them it does not have but who what they have to them counted, which dictates the society to them… because single they cannot. It is great not only by the content of her letters but by its vocal quality. Thanks to share part of the history of the humanity.
I did not understand every detail, but I think I got the message of your statement. Thank you ra1apm!
I apologize for not having translated, did not think you would read me. Thank you very much.
PD: No se ofenda amigo Stevejobs, hizo un buen trabajo.
No offense taken, as my spanish is non-existent I had to relate to the computer generated translation... and I enjoyed reading your comment a lot.
I also enjoyed listening to this record today very much !
Me sentia en casa por los años acompañandolos, gracias por leer el mensaje.
No tenia idea de la censura. :)
And yes 'ra1apm', we have people out there that think we need censorship.
And it is more interesting to read than: "Links aren't working! Please re-upload!"
This discussion has been triggered off by the AMG review by Thom Jurek. So why not post your own opinion about the album or the artist?
"Please upload and download" is a good idea. So why not start to share your own stuff instead of complaining?
Just finished download and listen later (good time), sounds very good in terms of sound quality, melancholy and disappointment in her lyrics as music is concerned (as I feel about the mankind), in summary: I liked the songs especially with a glass of vodka on the rocks...cheers!
It is an honor to share ideas with you, mankind has a solution.
I did repeatedly listen to this for the last two days and the choice of songs, the playing and the audio production is really excellent.
The DVD is short, but it is interesting to have a short glimpse into Tuff Gong studio and watch those reggae legends jammin'...
From the prior generation of musicians I can only remember John Lennon, Bob Marley and a few else reaching such heights of artistry and humanity. I am glad that Sinead O'Connor passes this spirit on.
I'm listenin' here a great reggae music... Perhaps Sinèad can be labeled as "controversial" but just listen... her singing art cannot be denied, mates!! ...and, of course, she can express her opinion as anyone else, right?? ;-)
Rob
This album is great not for the nice reggae music she sings but is the only one that she sings reggae,in my opinion..))
