MOG Editorial Review

Reggae titan Peter Tosh was considered militant in his political and social views, but with his solo debut, Legalize It, he provided carefree reggae melodies, finally seen as a talented force in his own right, out from under the shadow of Bob Marley. That's not to say he didn't have any serious issues to voice concern over, as the album's title track became an anthem for marijuana supporters everywhere, while other tracks foreshadow his later obsession with politcal revolution. With riddims catchy enough to make waves in America, Tosh's debut stood as a landmark album and eventually propelled him to the status of a reggae icon.
AMG Review of Legalize It

All Music Guide

After years of being overshadowed by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh left the Wailers to pursue a solo career. Released in 1976, Legalize It is a bold statement that Peter Tosh had arrived and was a creative force in his own right. Although he explores some issues of spirituality, this is Tosh's most lightweight album in the sense that it is his least political. This is not meant as a criticism -- in fact, Tosh's playfulness and joy ("Ketchy Shuby") only add to the album's charm. He does make political statements (the title track celebrates and promotes the use of marijuana), but they are done with a sense of humor and a melodic infectiousness that belie his sincere concern for the issues. Tosh incorporates many instruments and mixes slower ballads with upbeat grooving tunes. The album's highlight is "Why Must I Cry," a multi-layered song (co-written with Bob Marley) that conveys a sense of personal failure when fighting an uphill battle, whether it be against injustices of the world or within the confines of a relationship. Legalize It cemented Tosh's position as a giant in reggae, and the album is one of the best albums of the genre.
