They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7; Part 8
Active compensatory factors: I don't have much of a frame of reference for Peter Tosh, but this commercially minded album feels and sounds like reggae lite to me. Which is amazing given the appearance of the Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare rhythm section.

This was Tosh's third album after he left The Wailers, and has a Rolling Stones connection - which formed part of the appeal for me. The Glimmer Twins produce, it's on Rolling Stone Records, Mick sings on the hit single and Keef even plays guitar on two tracks.
I'm not a fan of synths and they intrude on a few tracks without much purpose. The songs aren't particularly memorable either, apart from (You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back. All up, it's a missed opportunity.
Where do they all belong? Sticking with Sly and Robbie, Bob Marley, The Heptones, Toots, Third World et al, rather than trying more Peter Tosh solo albums.
